From memory, I think you can open http://127.0.0.1:8866/channels in vlc, and it'll get an m3u list supplied by NextPVR.

Sub,
I have been able to download the m3u8 file but am unable to open it within vlc. any other way to open the play list?

Thank you,

Bruce

It should work with any player that supports m3u playlists. If it is not opening the listed streams, perhaps create the file on another machine on your local LAN to get a real IP.

When I download the file I can see it in my downloads folder. It is when I try to open the file within VLC I am not able to see it in the downloads folder.

The browser just downloads a file called channels, you need to rename it to channels.m3u8 so that vlc's filtered open displays it.

Got it to work...Had to re download VLC from the internet instead of the Microsoft store.
