Open TV

Completely rewritten to accommodate new features and to be even speedier, Open TV has been carefully crafted to deliver the best IPTV experience.

This project NEEDS your help. Please consider donating on Github, Patreon or directly by crypto

I've been developing and maintaining this project alone and for entirely for free over the past 2 years. I am in dire need of support to continue developing this project. I've never added annoying donation pop-ups or anything of the sort to make sure you have the fastest and cleanest IPTV experience and I'm committed to keep this project FREE & OPEN-SOURCE. To keep that commitment, I need your support!

I'm currently developing a big rework of the app in Rust to allow for new big features that have been requested by the community for some time...

The app rewrite is done 🎊 Thank you to all who have donated during the last 3 months. I still need your support for the next updates!

Install

You can install the latest version from Releases

Open TV is also now available on Flathub (LINK AVAILAIBLE SOON) 🎊

If you use Arch Linux, you can also install it from the AUR

Prerequisites

If you are on Windows or use the flatpak on Linux; SKIP THIS PART.

The app both depends on mpv, ffmpeg and yt-dlp. ffmpeg is a depedency of mpv on all package managers. On Fedora you will need to add rpmfusion and on OpenSUSE you will need to install codecs with opi beforehand.

The Windows build comes with mpv included (.msi), but you should still install mpv from a package manager of your choice to always have the latest version installed

sudo dnf install mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp #Fedora
sudo zypper install mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp #OpenSUSE
sudo pacman -Syu mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp #Arch
sudo apt install mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp #Debian/Ubuntu
scoop install mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp # Windows
choco install mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp # Windows alternative

If you have a tv remote or air mouse that has slightly different bindings for general nav (back, up, down, left, right), please open an issue and I will add them if it's feasible. Otherwise, you can still use hwdb to make them match OpenTV's bindings.

Settings explained

Stream Caching

Why enabling:

  • If you have a slow internet connection/IPTV provider causing the stream to pause often

Why disabling:

  • If the stream often drops completely. It will prevent the stream from jumping too far ahead/behind
  • If you have a good internet/provider and want lower latency
  • Can prevent some weird bugs/slowdowns
