Open TV is the best open-source IPTV app. It’s ultra fast and super simple to use. Our open-source commitment means this application is truly yours, forever.
Is this available in F-Droid?
Nope, because the dev wants money (not a bad thing necissarily)
The APK is available on GitHub.
GitHub link?
So why not have their own F-Droid repository like FUTO does with their apps?
Github+obtanium is f-droid with one extra step. I can’t praise enough obtanium really haha
For your box top device though (like Nvidia Shield for example) TiVimate is hands down the best app.
Can someone eli5 how this works?
IPTV is a video streaming protocol that delivers live TV. Here’s a basic overview:
- An IPTV provider is streaming TV Channel 3 from its server.
- Subscribers pay for access to a playlist file.
- An IPTV player takes the playlist file and connects to the server.
- The playlist file tells the player where TV Channel 3 is available for streaming.
- The IPTV player streams the broadcast.
Most common IPTV providers are illegal restreams of commercial broadcasts. IPTV players don’t typically come with access to these servers, the user need to find a service and gain access to a playlist file.
Edit: There are free and ad-supported IPTV streams out there as well.
where does this get the stream from?
