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 app that uses mpv for playback.

After rewriting the app in Rust (tauri specifically) for the last 3 months, Open TV is finally on flathub 🎊🎊

The app also now supports multi sources and other niceties.

If you use hypnotix or other IPTV apps, please give my app a try!

Like the app? Please consider donating. Open TV is a completely solo effort. It would help me allocate more time to its development.

This is cool! What made you start developing this?

Relatives using proprietary/borderline mslware/slow iptv apps. I wanted them to use something better
