Does anyone have any tips on how to have a good experience with IPTV? So far I’ve tried 2 (well, maybe it’s just 1) IPTV providers and the experience just kinda sucks. Most of the time I can’t get channels to load and when I do, it usually takes like 30s-40s to load the channel. I definitely can’t reasonably browse channels.

Once a channel loads, it’s usually fine.

I’m using dispatcharr + Jellyfin.

My server is plugged in via ethernet, but it does stream over wifi to my TV.

Are there any settings I could change to speed things up? Or is there some way I could auto-remove channels that don’t load? Do I need faster internet speeds? Are the only reliable channels US channels? (I’m trying to watch non-US channels.)

    Yeah, I’m running dispatcharr through gluetun.

    I’ve heard mixed things about this. On the one hand, I’ve read the VPN might slow you down. On the other hand, I’ve heard NOT having a VPN might cause your ISP to slow you down.
