Open TV is an ultra-fast IPTV app that uses mpv for playback.

After rewriting the app in Rust (tauri specifically) for the last 3 months, Open TV is finally on flathub 🎊🎊

The app also now supports multi sources and other niceties.

If you use hypnotix or other IPTV apps, please give my app a try!

Like the app? Please consider donating. Open TV is a completely solo effort. It would help me allocate more time to its development.

Whats some good IPTV channels?

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 31 points 1 month ago

There's... a lot, and it depends on what you define as good. This isn't a bad place to start: https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv?tab=readme-ov-file

Cool! You could refactor some use of the OS constant with #[cfg] directives.

[-] inbeesee@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

This is cool! What made you start developing this?

[-] Fredol@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Relatives using proprietary/borderline mslware/slow iptv apps. I wanted them to use something better

For real. I've been on a search for a good one and they are all sooo bad. definitely trying this one later.

[-] FippleStone@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks man, there are dozens of us looking for something like this!

Never used IPTV before, how does it compare to say using Stremio with Real Debrid?

Also, thanks for contributing and sharing 🌻

[-] ECB@feddit.org 12 points 1 month ago

IPTV is generally for live TV channels rather than on-demand.

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Ah I see, thank you

[-] Akuji@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 1 month ago

Cool. The interface is really simple in a good way.

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago

I only have a vague understanding of what iptv is but I guess it's time to learn. This looks cool.

Streaming live TV. Think YoutubeTV or Hulu Live or Fubo

[-] mfat@lemdro.id 2 points 1 month ago

Can't wait to try this!

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I always used vlc for this purpose, download iptv playlist from GitHub and use it in VLC on any device

[-] corvus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Great job! thanks for your effort. It seems that it overrides the default settings of mpv. I tried adding options in the box in the settings like --volume=50 but it doesn't work.

[-] Fredol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks. For the mpv params, that's a bug, I'll be looking into this.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
