This guide will show you exactly how to watch IPTV on a Mac – using free software you probably already have installed!
Click on PVR IPTV Simple Client Configure. Under M3U Play List URL, enter in your m3u file address and then click on. If you had the PVR IPTV Simple Client Enabled already, it should refresh and tell you how many channels were loaded in the top right corner. If PVR IPTV Simple Client is Disabled, click on the Enable. Convert your IPTV MAC address to a M3U URL. This application works with all Xtream-Codes (Reloaded) IPTV providers. Providers might disable this function, if it doesnt work - contact your provider to request a M3U url. Just enter your MAC address registered at your IPTV Provider, and enter the Portal URL used in.

Requirements
There are only two things you’ll need to watch IPTV – an IPTV provider and a device to watch it on. With that said, using a VPN while streaming almost anything is a good idea. If you need help setting one up on your Mac, we have a step by step guide explaining exactly how to do it.
With all of that out of the way – let’s jump it!
Watch IPTV on a Mac

- Do you already have VLC installed? If so, you’re ready to go! If not, download and install VLC from here first, then proceed to step #2. Note: Installing VLC is a breeze, it’s free and open source, and the general consensus is that it’s the best media player for macOS. I strongly agree.
- Locate the .m3u file that your IPTV service provided you with. Right-click (ctrl-click) the file, select Open With and then VLC. If VLC is the default already, the next time you want to watch IPTV just double-click the .m3u file instead of right-clicking it. If it’s not the default but you’d like it to be, we have a guide that explains exactly how to make VLC your default .m3u App (opens in a new window/tab).
- VLC will open and start your TV stream right away. Yes, it’s that easy.
- Now you’ll want to change the channel :) Click the Show/Hide Playlist button from the bottom menu in VLC (see screenshot).
- If you don’t see a Show/Hide Playlist button don’t fret – just select Window from the main macOS menu, and then Playlist… from the drop-down menu.
- When you’re watching IPTV in VLC the Playlist view is actually the “channel listing” – double-click one of them to change the channel.
- Ta-da!
- You have to admit, that was remarkably simple :)
