Re: Unable to play - Phillips Smart TV

Hello all,
I have a philips tv also and faced the same issue, ssiotv was working fine before but not anymore.
I found a workaround that did the trick for me.
Instead of entering the iptv m3u address in the ssiptv site, I did enter the address directly on the tv .
When you open ssiptv app on the tv, go to setttings, then Content - Add an external playlist. After entering the full http://..@&€.m3u in the source field, save the setting before going back to the main screen and refresh... This way I was able to access the playlist from a philips tv.

Hoping this could work for someone else. Regards.

Hello Roudaille,

I have the same issue than you had on my Philips Smart TV.
I applied the same solution, as you explained. (add of external playlist in SS IPTV with the http adress, instead of adding internal playlist)
Sadly, the stream read by SS IPTV continues to jumps and stops with the message 'Unable to play" in the bottom bar.

Did you do something else in TV parameters or app parameters, in order to have a continue stream ?

Thx by advance.

I had the same issue.
I figured out the problem. You need to replace m3u8 with ts at your link.

Hope this helps

I have the same problem, I have a Samsung Smart UN50NU7090 tv model, some channels dont play, same problem if I use OTTPlayer, the main key is that these channels belong to the same company, and the other key is that I "CAN WATCH ALL" the channels in my PC using VLC or if use an android app, seems to be a kind of filter? Im not sure!
