About
Show live video on your screens: an IPTV channel, the feed from an IP camera, or a video file from the web. Paste the stream’s link (HLS, ending in .m3u8), and it starts playing as soon as the slide shows. For web pages, use the Website plugin.
Get Started
Everything here starts in the editor: go to Playlists, open your playlist and choose the slide. When you’re done, click Publish.
Add a stream to a slide
- Click Plugins, search for Stream and click its tile
- Paste the stream’s link, and choose the MIME type
Show an IPTV channel
- Find an HLS link that ends in
.m3u8, likehttps://dai.google.com/linear/hls/event/rtcMlf4RTvOEkaudeany5w/master.m3u8(remove anything after.m3u8) - Paste it in the Stream plugin
Public channels are listed on sites like iptvcat.com.
Show an IP camera or a video file
- Paste the camera’s or video’s HLS link
- For a video that should start from the beginning, turn off Preload Stream
RTSP and RTMP cameras need a server that converts them to HLS first (Android players can play RTSP directly).

FAQ
Which formats work?
HLS. RTSP and RTMP must be converted to HLS by an encoding server; Android players also play RTSP.
What does an IPTV link look like?
It ends in .m3u8, for example https://dai.google.com/linear/hls/event/rtcMlf4RTvOEkaudeany5w/master.m3u8. Paid IPTV services often add their own login or another protocol, so we can’t promise those work.
Where do I find IPTV channels?
Public channels are listed on sites like iptvcat.com.
