Either Smarters or stbemu work fine.The bottleneck is Bluestacks I find.It's a bit of a resource hog, & does it's best with a good htpc.
i have tried them all sfvip player without any doubt the best windows based player there is.

can do an unlimited amount of services never have to enter epg.
based on vlc player no blue stacks you can mirror the player to
your smart tv.

well I tried the windows version of iptv smarters, pretty disappointing, no epg guide or recording feature of any kind, googled a couple other window players for screenshots etc, didn't really find one with a decent epg/recording feature like a buzz or dish box. Was thinking of trying bluestacks with tivimate premium, the epg and recording feature looked the most promising of what I'v found so far
looks like they took iptv smarters off the google play store, downloaded bluestacks and tried to load iptv smarters but it always directed me to iptv smarters movies with no tv side, I guess I could try sideloading it, not having good luck with these windows players lol altho I did get smarters windows version going just no epg or any way to record or anything, gonna try myiptv player next
