Where to get the best content for LG Smart TV
Features of the implementation of IPTV technology allow users to create free IPTV playlists of channels (rebroadcasts). You can find such playlists on a lot of different sites, but their value is quite low. This is due to the need to provide each recipient of such an IPTV stream with several megabits of traffic (which is not always available to such a relay), as well as the regular blocking of such “pirates” by IPTV operators who counter the illegal retransmission of their channels.
At the same time, free IPTV playlists must be constantly updated, regularly removing “dead” data from them, which is not always done.
The following sources with free playlists are currently available.

Possible problems and their solutions
Sometimes the application does not play channels or does not work at all. It is worth considering the main causes of problems and ways to solve them.
WebOS TVs
When working with this operating system, problems often arise with watching interactive television. WebOS does not support multicast. Applications take additional measures to ensure normal operation. The best solution is to use a proxy server. It helps replace UDP protocols with HTTP. To do this, check the box next to the corresponding item after starting the server.
Error messages
Sometimes when you launch a playlist, the channels do not work, and a fault notification appears instead. You need to check the functionality of the list by turning it on on your computer using an IPTV player.
Sometimes the channel may not be displayed.
No Russian language
If the channels sound in French, German or English, you need to activate the audio track attribute. This is the name of the language code for sound. It is possible to specify multiple languages separated by commas. The first one on the list will become the main one.
Logos not showing
The player is equipped with a sophisticated recognition system that identifies up to 90% of channels. If there is no logo, you need to check the name’s compliance with regulatory standards. The name should not include unnecessary characters.
