Cloud Stream TV Player (IPTV)

LPS provides internet access to a handful of cable TV channels for professional use by staff members. These channels can be viewed from a web browser while using a teacher laptop on the LPS network. To learn more about the IPTV channels in LPS, and how to use them from a staff laptop, visit LPS.org keyword: TV.

The channels can also be accessed via an iPad or Apple TV via the Cloud Stream IPTV Player app using the instructions provided here.

NOTE: IPTV Channels are only accessible to devices while they are on the LPS network. You will not be able to access them from anywhere else.

iPad – Cloud Stream IPTV Player app

1. Install the Cloud Stream IPTV Player app on your iPad if it is not already installed.
   The app is available via the App Portal found on any staff or admin iPad in LPS.
   For more information about installing iPad apps visit our iPad resources.
2. Open the Cloud Stream IPTV Player app on your iPad.
3. The app is not connected to the LPS channels when it is installed, so we need to set that connection up. Begin by opening the main menu (three lines in top corner of screen).
4. Click the + icon at the bottom of the screen.
5. Select to “Load M3U File”
6. Select to “Load playlist from web”
7. Enter the full address of the LPS IPTV server  and press OK.
8. In the NAME: field, enter “LPS IPTV” and press the “Add” button at the bottom of the screen.

From now on, when you launch the Cloud Stream IPTV Player app on your iPad, you should see a playlist titled “LPS IPTV” which includes the cable TV channels.

Apple TV – Cloud Stream IPTV Player app

NOTE: The Cloud Stream IPTV Player app is available only on 4th generation Apple TV and newer.
