IPTV Player

Postby rdearman » Wed Jul 13, 2022 9:05 am

I just discovered a bit of software I'd installed on my computer a long while ago but never really looked at. Part of the problem with using lots of free software is you end up having tons of stuff. Anyway I found this IPTV player which over 200 TV channels configured. So I can watch lots of TV in just about any language I want.

I can't get it to install either through the terminal or with the deb package!

The default list of channels that hypnotix uses is from https://github.com/Free-TV/IPTV

The links are all m3u8 playlists, there are lots of sites that can stream them, for example using one of the Spanish channels:

Cool. So Le Baron could use any IPTV player.

It would be less automatic, but m3u8 lists like this can just be played through VLC. I use a few already. Though I was hoping to get it all in one place with Hypnotix. It's really odd it won't even begin to install with the deb package and the terminal installation just fails. I'll have to investigate this further.
