Channel stream not starting

[Gabry993]

Hello,
I'm trying the https://iptv-ch.github.io/tvopenchit.m3u file with VLC from a Mac.
It loads the channel list, but then it seems like no channel is able to stream (the stream won't start).

I think I may be missing something: should I be able to stream this list with any internet provider? Do I need any specific configuration?

Thank you!

Hello,

1. You need to be on Swisscom network residential customers (not tested on Swisscom business enterprise) or need on a partner operator like Wingo.ch/M-Budget who run on Swisscom host network or share multicast network.
   network Sunrise over cooper network DSL work fine with Swisscom multicast but not yet verified if work or not on Sunrise fiber network., Salt Home fiber won't work not connected with Swisscom multicast network.
2. router/switch with multicast allowed factory (Internet box2 work well and AVM Fritzbox 5530 fiber (others don't know, not tested)
3. Sometime an easy solution, stop, power off all computers and the power off router, wait 2 min, start router, wait until your router is really ready and then start your imac and try again the vlc with the url.
4. some issue could happen if you have 2 physical network enabled and buggy driver (1 active and 1 disconnected or/and 1 active wired or/and wireless could (Windows 11 wired and wireless integrated both active won't have any issue)
   and security inside app or driver from virtualization software like VirtualBox/Parallels/VMware/etc.. with network between physical and virtual network can block stream.
5. I have also an old iMac18.2 connected via wireless and vlc run fine with the url https://iptv-ch.github.io/tvopenchit.m3u

I see, this is my issue.
I will be on Sunrise fiber from July, I will be happy to test it then.

Thank you!
