I don’t have much experience with IPTV or VLC, but do you have a video file and want to play it in Glide?

No, I don’t believe Glide can play TS files. Would it be too much of a hassle to convert them to mp4?

Or maybe you can try hosting them somewhere and try using the hosted URL in a web embed component?

It’s not possible as it’s live URL.  
That why I try to find a way to run an external video player like VLC from glide…  
Maybe an API I not so advanced!

Thank you
