Ultra-fast, simple and powerful cross-platform IPTV app - Fredolx/open-tv
Open TV is an ultra fast IPTV player for Linux, MacOS and Windows.
Since the last time I posted here, Open TV has changed a lot. I took all the feedback from lemmy, github and hacknews and worked very hard on the last few months to deliver the best IPTV experience on desktop. Here's all the cool new stuff:
EPG and EPG Notifications (TV guide)
Download vods and movies
Re-stream channels to allow multiple devices/people to watch from a single iptv subscription
Optional keyword search
Editable sources in Settings
Option to refresh sources on start in Settings
Custom sources, channels and groups you can share and import with the .otv, .otvg and .otvp formats
Support for custom http headers in m3u
Much more robust m3u processing
Vastly improved error handling and reporting with both in-app error messages and logging
More settings added like default volume and default view
Open TV is a solo open source project. If you enjoy using the app, feedback and bug reports are super appreciated. Donations are also very welcome and always appreciated, no matter the amount.
It downloads the channel you selected as an m3u8 playlist and serves it over http. Most iptv providers only allow a single connection per subscription, the re-streaming allows you to have friends and other devices watch the same channel you're watching.
