Vladlink TV on PC. IPTV player - free TV on your computer

On Windows devices, use the free IP-TV Player.

IP-TV Player is a shell of the famous VideoLAN VLC media player, adapted specifically for watching IPTV.

In this article we will talk in detail about its configuration and capabilities.

1. Download

Some providers - IPTV suppliers - can post modified assemblies of IP-TV Player with an integrated playlist of TV channels on their websites in order to simplify the process of setting up the player as much as possible, thereby pleasing their customers. Why not use such a service provider? On the latter’s website, instead of a playlist, you can download an installer for a modified player and use the preset settings during the installation process.

If the provider has not shown concern for its customers in this way, the original assembly of IP-TV Player can be downloaded from the player’s official website borpas.info/iptvplayer.

2. Setting up playlists

The original build of IP-TV Player comes with the ability to select built-in playlists. At the final stage of installing the player, in the “Select provider” column, you can leave the preset “Internet, Russian TV and Radio” item without changing anything. This is a playlist for a wide audience of users (regardless of their provider) with a selection of federal channels and radio stations. The contents of this playlist will be fully available only to residents of Russia; users of other countries will not have access to all TV channels on the list. This option can be used if the provider does not provide the IPTV service or, for example, does it for an additional fee. If the provider is an IPTV provider, you can search for it in the drop-down list in the “Select provider” column. The creators of IP-TV Player offer a selection of playlists from the largest providers in Russia and Ukraine.

If the required provider is not in the drop-down list, you must select the second settings option and enter either the web address of the provider’s playlist, or use the browse button at the end of the line to specify the path to the “.m3u” file. The web address or “.m3u” file of the playlist must first be obtained from the provider’s website. We use the same option for any IPTV playlists downloaded on the Internet.

After setting up the playlist, IP-TV Player will launch. To select a particular TV channel to watch, you must first display a list of channels in the player window. This is done either by quickly pressing the Enter key twice, or by pressing the L key once, or by pressing the button on the player toolbar. The channel list is removed using the last two methods.

How can I change the configured playlist in the future? Click the settings button on the IP-TV Player toolbar (or hotkeys Ctrl+P) and in the window that appears, check the box to display all settings.

IP-TV Player will restart with an expanded list of settings. Work with playlists is carried out in the “General” tab. Here you can select the item “Load preset from the list of providers” and go to the setup stage with a drop-down list of providers, as when completing the player installation. Or you can enter the web address of another playlist in the empty field or use the browse button to indicate the path to it if it is stored on your computer in a “.m3u” file. After this, you need to click the “Update” button.

Another setting for IP-TV Player playlists is “Switching between channel lists”, it allows you to use the “Add” button, respectively, to add different playlists to the queue so that you can conveniently switch between them if necessary.

3. List of favorite channels

IPTV playlists can contain more than 100 TV channels, so the creators of IP-TV Player have provided the ability to create custom lists of favorite channels. When you select a TV channel, it will display an empty heart. Clicking on the heart will fill it, and the TV channel will appear in the list of favorite channels. Access to this list is available at the top of the list of all channels, in a small menu.

4. Channel surfing

The channel surfing function in IP-TV Player is designed to automate the search for interesting TV content. To launch it, you need to call up the context menu inside the player (on the video image) and select the appropriate option. A grid of TV channels will appear in the IP-TV Player window, and each of them will turn on in turn for a couple of seconds. As soon as interesting TV content is identified, you can uncheck the “Channel Surfing” option in the context menu.

5. TV program

To watch a TV program on the selected TV channel for the coming days, you need to press the clock-shaped button on the player toolbar or the G hotkey.

6. Aspect Ratio

If the TV channel image is marred by black mourning stripes along the edges, you can experiment with changing the aspect ratio. When you press F6, the displayed image will alternate between different aspect ratios.

And with the F7 key, the image is adjusted in width to the size of the player window or to full-screen mode.

7. TV channel settings

You can experiment with the aspect ratio and other parameters of each individual channel in the IP-TV Player settings. Turn on the desired TV channel, click the settings button on the toolbar (or hot keys Ctrl+P), switch to the “Channel” tab. Here you can adjust contrast, brightness, saturation, image shades, deinterlacing, audio track (for TV content that supports multi-channel audio tracks) and other parameters.

The choice of audio track language is configured in the “General” settings tab.

8. Taking screenshots

The image played in the IP-TV Player window can be captured by creating a screenshot using the corresponding button on the player toolbar or by pressing the F4 hotkey. To create screenshots immediately with the required dimensions, the creators of the player have provided the “Video window size” option. This option offers a choice of several screen resolution options, which will be automatically set for the picture played by the IP-TV Player.

If you need to take a lot of screenshots, in the player settings, in the “General” tab, you can specify a specific path for saving them. The same path will be used to save video recordings of television broadcasts. Below this setting there is another one - “Container format”, in which you can select from the drop-down list the format of the media container into which video recordings of television broadcasts will be recorded.

9. Video recording of television broadcasts

In most cases, for video recording of television broadcasts, it is worth leaving the preset PS media container format. In this case, the output videos will be saved in the universal MPEG video format.

For video recording of TV broadcasts, there is a red button on the IP-TV Player toolbar that starts recording a TV show on the current TV channel and stops it. But the creators of IP-TV Player went beyond this function and provided the ability to video record several television broadcasts in the background. If there is an overlap and your favorite TV shows on different TV channels are broadcast at the same time, one of them can be watched online, and the other (and even several TV shows) can be recorded in the background of the IP-TV Player.

To do this, on the TV channel being recorded (in the channel list on the right), you need to call up the context menu, select “Record in background” and set the recording time - a specific period or until the user stops manually. And you can switch to another TV channel or close the player altogether.

If there are active processes for recording television broadcasts, when closed, IP-TV Player will minimize to the system tray, where it will carry out its work in the background without showing any signs. You can stop recording a TV broadcast (or several TV broadcasts) by calling up the scheduler window. The latter appears when you press the “R” recording icon on the TV channel you are recording. The scheduler can also be called up using the context menu in the player window.

10. Increasing cache size

If you experience stuttering while broadcasting IPTV, you can try to solve the problem by increasing the IP-TV Player cache size. In the “General” tab of the settings, in the last column “Cache (milliseconds)” from the drop-down list you need to select a value greater than the preset one - starting from 1000.

Have a great day!
