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.

    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.
