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.

    There’s a large number of legal IPTV streams – a lot of them are just the streams you would normally be able to access via Pluto, Plex, and other services. There’s also a lot of public access/public media channels are legit and free All of the ones available at the link I posted should be legal. There are “pirate” IPTV streams out there, but I don’t know any off the top of my head. I would check with the c/piracy community.

    The really tricky part is getting an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for free. Very few EPG providers are willing to give that away. You can roll your own for free but it’s complicated enough that I basically gave up on it.

      Wow, this is incredible. Thank you!

      Yeah the EPG bit is very confusing. And even the guides are confusing; lots of assumptions on base knowledge.

      Not really interested in piracy, just what I can quickly scan on that repo is interesting enough for me. Thank you very much!
