Possibility to change the address of the service
The application has a feature to set the base address of the service by the user. This can come in handy if your ISP no longer provides a service you like. You need to find a working mirror of the desired service and enter a new URL in the application to make it work. Video instruction:
New system of settings for services and trackers
The settings system has been updated in the latest versions of the LazyIPTV Deluxe application. It has become more advanced and functional, while the structure has remained the same. “Alternative access” has been added to the service settings system. If your ISP directly blocks access, it allows you to enable access to the service through a proxy. It is recommended to activate when the service is really blocked, as the speed of use will be significantly reduced. Tracker settings are located in the “Torrent Settings” section. Each tracker is presented as a separate element, its activity and current status are shown. Here you can reset the tracker to its original state. “Alternate Access” will be disabled.
Application internal player
As of version 3.01, LazyMedia Deluxe has its own built-in player based on Google’s Exoplayer. Its name in the application is LazyPlayer(Exo). You can set the internal player as the default player at any time. For this:
Using the internal player LazyPlayer(Exo), you can:
- switch series when watching series (forward / backward);
- change aspects;
- stop and resume viewing with the click of a button;
- view information about a particular content;
- stop watching a movie / series, exit the application, and then return and start exactly from the same place (if the “Synchronization system” is enabled, you can continue watching even on another device);
- select audio track and subtitles;
- automatically skip to the next episode of the series when the current one is over;
- choose image quality.
The player’s interface is practically the same when used on mobile devices and on TV.
Synchronization mode
The LazyMedia Deluxe app can sync data between devices. This means you don’t have to backup and restore to keep your data in the app. Also, when using multiple devices, your data will always be updated. Synchronized data:

- custom pages;
- section “Favorites”;
- video viewing marks;
- search keywords.

Playlists for LazyIPTV Deluxe and their download
A playlist is a list of files to play, this may include video and audio in a specific format. In the context of the LazyIPTV Deluxe application, a playlist is an m3u file (may be in a zip / gzip archive) that is imported into the application for later playback. A playlist can contain either a link to a video stream (TV channel broadcast) or a direct link to a video file (for example, received from a popular video service). The LazyIPTV Deluxe application can use links to VKontakte and Youtube videos, as well as view torrent TV playlists.
Where to find playlists?
LazyIPTV Deluxe is an IPTV client, so there are no built-in playlists in the app. Users are faced with the task of where to get them. Conventionally, there are 3 ways to solve it:
- provider services. Typically, large ISPs provide IPTV services for free or for a nominal fee. Visit the homepage or call your Internet and TV provider’s support line. This is the easiest and least time consuming method.
- Paid playlists. You will have to pay little money for high-quality graphics and stability. Services where you can purchase access to iptv playlists:
- Torrent-TV – http://torrent-tv.ru/ (works with torrent technology, but supports regular http streaming via TS-PROXY);
- Zhara.TV – http://shura.tv/;
- i-ghost.net – http://i-ghost.net/;
- zargacum.net – https://billing.zargacum.net/register/.
- Free playlists. Such lists are collected on special sites on the Internet, of which there are many. The disadvantage is that no one guarantees the performance of your playlist for a long time.
The best way to find playlists is with the new Wizards tool, available in version 2.17. You can use it in the LazyCat software: http://bit.ly/liwizard to add via the Wizard Dispatcher (link). Trusted places to find free IPTV playlists:

How to download a playlist in LazyIPTV Deluxe?
Unlike similar applications, LazyIPTV Deluxe stores playlists in its own database, which allows you to create “Favorites”, store history, move playlist items from one to another, etc. Ways to add a playlist to the application:
- From file. The playlist must be preloaded on the device. When adding, you must use the built-in file manager to select it on external or internal media.
- From the Internet (link). Specify a direct link to a playlist located on a specific server. You can also check the “Automatic update” box, and then the playlist will be downloaded from the specified server every time you select it. This method is recommended when the playlist on the server changes over time.
- From clipboard. Suitable for those looking for playlists on websites and blogs that post a text version of the list. To add, simply copy the playlist text to your clipboard and select this method when adding a new playlist to the app.
- Empty playlist. You need to create a new playlist as a source for copying channels from other playlists.
FAQ on using LazyIPTV Deluxe
The following are frequently asked questions that arise while using the LazyIPTV Deluxe application.
What should I do if the EPG is not displayed?
Pay attention to the correct date and time on the device. If the date/time is set incorrectly, there are problems when trying to associate a channel with an EPG.
What is Wizard and how to use it?
Wizards is a tool for importing playlists and TV sources supported by the LazyIPTV application. It is an XML file (open or compressed in zip/gz format) with *.liwizard extension describing the source of the playlist as well as the EPG to be imported and used on the target device. The main operations are carried out in the manager, available in the side menu, which allows you to perform the following operations with Wizards files:
- add;
- delete;
- update;
- open.
After adding a file to the manager and opening it, users have access to playlists and EPG sources that can be imported to the device. A flag in the upper right corner of each item indicates that the file has not yet been imported. Video instruction for using Wizards:
How to use the TV program?
The LazyIPTV Deluxe application uses external TV programs to work. Programs are used in xmltv format (jtv will be supported later). To connect to an external TV program, you need to add an address / link to the “TV program source” column. You can use an unlimited number of sources and, when you open any playlist, switch between them. As soon as the information in the current version is no longer relevant, the TV program will be updated automatically. The update happens in the background and is cached.
The cached data for each source takes up 10-30 MB of space on the device, but it can be cleared to free up space at any time according to the user’s desire.
Why aren’t all playlists or channels synced?
Only those playlists that are added via the link will participate in the synchronization of playlists between different devices. A playlist added as an internal file is only displayed on the current device because the file is only on that device.
How to watch torrent-tv?
The application allows you to watch torrent TV through an external player. Playlists are in m3u format, but instead of http links, links with the acestream: // prefix or 40-character identifiers (a set of characters and numbers) are used.
It is recommended to use Ace Stream Media as an intermediary player. You can redirect the torrent stream to any video player you use (MXPlayer, VLC, etc.)
You can find free playlists on the net or use the standard playlists of the torrent-tv.ru service by pre-registering and purchasing access rights (the first 3 days are free – for testing).
How to make a backup of your data / restore data from a backup?
The application has tools to backup (backup) / restore current data, such as playlists, “Favorites” and history. To make a backup, do the following:
- Select “Settings” (in the sidebar).
- Click “Backup data to file”.
- Select a directory to save the backup file, and then click the “Run” button. A file will appear in the form lazyiptvDDMMYYYY-HHMM.libackup (where DDMMYYYY-HHMM is the current date and time of the operation).
To restore data from a backup file:
- Select “Settings”.
- Click “Restore data from file”.
- Select the backup directory and file, and then click Run.
