Optix IPTV

[socraticsteely]

Is there any way to watch Optix IPTV through a smart tv app? I have the box but I hate having to switch to the HDMI input and then using the set top box's remote control. I would much rather have it integrated into my smart tv much like Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime.

There are several apps on the play store such as IPTV Pro, or even good old VLC can load streaming channels. Does anyone have any experience of creating an m3u (using wireshark or other means) for Optix and running it successfully on their TV? Or will that not work because the streams are encrypted?

Another option I was thinking was to sideload the Optix Xtream TV Android app on to my TCL c825 but I am not sure how well a phone app will work on a TV.

You can install Ministra on your TV and get the server address from helpline. They ll provide username password for the sever as well. I have been using it since a while but the experience is not very good.
if you remember initially they were offering infomir box which was replaced by these cheap boxes and ministra support the infomir platform. I guess even today they are offering infomir boxes but the prices of box are around 17000

Thanks for the info bob. So if I got that correctly, the infomir boxes are good and ministra supports the infomir platform but the Ministra app isn't very good?

I don't know how to do it, and I haven't thought about it. I found a paid one for me, but the cheapest one is Roomba. Tv, I like it best here. There's $15 a month, and you have the following channels: 1 connection, quick activation, HD FHD 4K channels, PC/MAC Android/iOS SmartTV, M3U & MAG & Enigma Format, TV Guide (EPG), No Buffering/Freezing, High Stable Bitrates, Emergency Support, Custom Playlists, Web TV Player.

Can you please confirm the server address that you are using? The helpline provided me with this server URL: http://10.11.11.5/stalker_portal/c/ but the Ministra app on my TV is saying Wrong portal url. Error No2

Thanks very much for your reply, I appreciate it. Unfortunately it's the same error with http://10.11.11.5/stalker_portal as well. Maybe they have changed their security settings or something. Anyways, I'll just sideload the Optix Xtream TV app to my smart TV.

Have you tried side loading any other iptv app on optix box?

Just as an update, Optix now offers a smart tv app for watching IPTV so you don't need to buy their box anymore (or attempt the juggars above). Much more convenient too as you don't have to manage multiple remote controls and everything's on your TV.
