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.

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.
