How to stream Apple’s Sept. 9 iPhone 6/iWatch event on Windows

iphone_6_1.Still004

In case you’re stuck on Windows and want to live stream Apple’s iPhone 6 event on Sept. 9, here are some quick and easy instructions (via Reddit):

  1. Download VLC Player from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
  2. Install it and everything, make sure it works correctly.
  3. Open the program. Click on Media (top left) > Open Network Stream.
  4. You will see this screen: http://puu.sh/bqV9o.png
  5. Paste this link into that field: http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/14pijnadfpvkjnfvpijhabdfvpijbadfv09/m3u8/atv_mvp.m3u8
  6. Initially you will see an error in VLC media player “Unable to open the MRU file …” Don’t worry, this is because the event has not started yet.

This year Apple announced it would only offer its live stream through its website to users on Safari 5.1.10 or later on OS X v10.6.8 or later; Safari on iOS 6.0 or later, or Apple TV version 5.0.2 or later.

    One hour and a half searching the net, almost concluded it was impossible without an Apple device. Thanks a lot!

      Try Google for “how to watch apple event on windows” – this site will be the first link. Though I’m sure by now good engineers of Apple figured out how to block us suckers from snooping

      Did this work throughout? Or did you have the crashing and cut outs that people complained about?

      I’m wondering because some people said the thing that crashed the apple.com stream is the live blog on the site refreshing the page all the time.
