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
- Scroll to load more
- Improved hotkeys and UI/UX
- A ton of bug fixes
- The app was added to scoop (scoop.sh)!
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.
i’d love to use it, but i’ve been searching for just one good IPTV provider for years now…
Is this kind of an alternative to Stremio?
One thing I’d love to know. The IpTV source knows you’re streaming and what your Ip is.
Can this be run via a VPN or similar to maintain privacy?
Man this would.be awesome if I found an IPTV provider that wasn’t trash.
This app is insane. Thanks for the work. Easily the best iptv app I ever userd. Wish there was something like this on mobile too.
I’m working on a mobile port :)
If there is going to be an apk release, will there be support for Android TV as well? Thanks for the hard work!
Yes Android TV and Tablets will be just as a priority as phones. I’m just in need of more support in terms of donations
That’s insane, thanks for the work.
Fantastic app. Hands down the best I’ve used so far on Linux. Everything else I tried was nothing close to this or just straight up a money grab. I have a couple of feature suggestions that I might post on GitHub when I have some time. You rock, dude.
Hmm … How does that channel restream work?
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.
Nice. Thanks
in fedora I installed mpv, ffmpeg and yt-dlp, but how to install the app? I mean no flatpak.
