It depends upon the kind of device, which you have to set up for your IPTV services.

First of all, check for whether your streaming is Multicast or Unicast. For checking this, see your hyperlinks and channel information in any Text Editor by opening your playlist.

Setting Up Multicast Streams:

 

 

Since some of the Android devices are compatible with Multicast while others do not, this step is somewhat complicated.   

So, you need to know the type of Android device you own in the first place. By default, some of the devices already come with a disabled multicast option in the settings. You need to download the File Manager App for checking if your device is having net/igmp.

The process truly appears to be very simple in case your device is supporting multicast. You can directly open UDP streams with the help of any multimedia player such as MX Player or VLC Player in your Android device.

Apart from this, installing IPTV is another fine option that will allow you using it, as a playlist to view the multicast stream. Bear in mind that the process of setting it up can be complicated without a multicast. You require an external PC that will serve as a proxy between HTTP and UDP. Then, your computer will be able to switch UDP to HTTP.

Setting Up Unicast Streams:

 

 

In case your cell phone supports unicast streams, all you need is appropriate applications through which you can enjoy IPTV. Few examples of such apps are MX Player and IPTV app.

Watch IPTV on iPhone Device:

The process of setting up IPTV on your iPhone is very simple. Get to know this below:

Firstly, make sure that your iPhone has a good internet connection that has IPTV streams as well.

Moreover, your playlist should be in m3u8 or m3u formats.  

Subsequently, get a multimedia application. In view of recommendations, get an app which is capable of supporting maximum formats. Adding to it, the respective app should have the support of handling both the multicast and unicast streams.
