I have to say that IPTV apps across all platforms have a horrendous UX and are especially slow and clunky. I always felt that there's so much to improve in the space and I'm happy to see this project, looks promising judging from the description (although I haven't been using IPTV for a while now and can't try this).
https://tivimate.com/ is about the nicest, but yes the IPTV scene doesn't have a nice UX at all, naming conventions (or lack of) especially.
I'm not a user of IPTV services and haven't really heard about it.
I found this which lists apps and services that provide IPTV:
https://github.com/iptv-org/awesome-iptv
Is that kind of service common in some parts of the world? Do people set up their own IPTV servers to share content? What are the most popular use cases?
That list seems to have been cleaned up last year, this is the previous version that contains more providers: https://github.com/iptv-org/awesome-iptv/pull/169/files
I personally prefer using legal IPTV providers (e.g. https://polbox.tv/en/ for Polish TV, https://ibox.ie for UK and Irish, etc), though having to use VPNs for the content I already paid for is getting annoying.
From time to time we use it. My wife is from South America but we live in Europe, bunch of channels she wanna watch aren't available legally here so it's the only way.
How does it compare to "yuki-iptv"?
Nice to see something using IP multicast!
I don't think apps running in a web browser are very efficient. Calling something like that "ultra-fast" doesn't seem right.
But it's not a web browser? It now seems to use Tauri just for UI and do the actual rendering with mpv.
Does the framework matter if the UI is snappy?
