What Are IPTV Connections?

Hi what player are you using I don’t recognize that one. Sorry that’s not the player that is what you pick what you want after you buy the service. Just looking into it

I think they are the provider for iptorrents IPTV option. I had posted about them a long time back.

Being able to pick exactly what you want is definitely neat. They were very stable while I had them also. I’ll keep PIA on my list for if something happens to my current providers. I’m not sure if I would prefer dealing with the iptorrent website or PIA.

By what player do you mean sparkle or emby?

The picture you posted, I thought that was a player like Tivimate, I like trying new IPTV players.

That was just a screenshot of the web based dashboard for the service

I signed up with privateiptvaccess.com today, a 1-month plan, and it’s constantly buffering. I’m in the UK, so not sure, but I also tried with Surfshark via NY and no difference.

Cool UI and payment was easy with Crypto, but I am still on the hunt for a reliable provider.

very strange, mine has never buffered since purchase. Is surfshark installed on the device or router?

Good to hear @txron - yep I tried from Formuler box, phone and Desktop. Both VPN via router and vpn app on each device. It plays for 10 seconds, then buffers for a few seconds, then repeats.

if using the app try changing the protocol in settings from wireguard to openVPN.tcp and check.Also check with udp.

edit…and just to make sure that you are not running through device vpn and router vpn at the same time…..

Thanks for the tips. It’s got to be something on my side. I just timed it, and it’s every 20 seconds; it freezes. I will keep investigating.

do a speed test

Speedtest is all good. At the moment, I suspect the issue is with my connection, not the IP service. Using mobile data works ok. Thanks for all the help.

Hey @tpiptv , check in SurfShark settings and if it’s on, turn OFF clean web, that has been the culprit (for whatever reason) sometimes

100% issue on my side, VLC works flawlessly.

Just winging it here, can you change the stream to HLS?

Yes

Under xtreme parameters / output format if using tivimate.

I have 6 TVs and only 1 connection (Feed) per service so can only watch 1 TV at a time per service. That said I have 3 services. I have been doing for many years and a service can disappear just like that (have had it happen multiple times) and I have had times , especially when watching live sports that something will happen to that channel and when it does I switch to a different service. I also use TiViMate so all services on it so I have favorites from multiple services in one spot so switching takes seconds. The only time I get multiple feeds is when sharing with a friend that also knows he can only use 1 TV at a time.

hey @Steve_Vee , hope your Christmas wuz good….so i wondered about PIA, can you pay for more than 1month at a time, and any discount if ya do, it doesn’t really show on their site, least i couldn’t find it….thanx….

@itzme Everything, including payments, is done through your dashboard, which is constructed when you sign up by creating an account.

Clicking on the “Add Balance” takes you to the payment page.

Clicking on “Customize Playlist” takes you to the channel selection menu. Its briefly covered in this out dated post.

Be glad to answer any other questions you may have.

What am I doing wrong? I’ve reached out a few times and I responses at all.

Using Tivimate? 1 of the issues I have with PIA is that periodically, it freezes for 5 seconds or so and then it’ll resolve itself. Even more infrequently, it freezes and I have to switch channels and come back. Love the website and how easy it is to change my channel options. Hate that it isn’t working in iMPlayer.
