Looking at the repo I am not sure what this is. OS for TVs? App to watch television channels on a phone?
- An open source IPTV client (TV channels over tge internet)
- It's a simple IPTV app. It supports m3u as well as xtream. It can be controlled by keyboard and opens videos/streams in a new mpv window.
  I really like it although it does not do advanced things like showing program etc.
- afaiu it is a app just like TiviMate witch allows you to connect to a mirror that streams channals. Might be wrong tho. It is foss so yippy!
What does this do that VLC can't do ?
- xtream
  mpv
Any good source for the channels?

There's an AUR open-tv package for Arch/Artix/..., and there's even an AUR open-tv-bin version, but I prefer looking at the build recipes if available, and if not using Arch/Artix/... one can read through the PKGBUILD and see how it builds.
Lets fucking go. The goat delivered on their promise.
$3.99? Yowza
- Or get it for free by downloading the release APK from the GitHub repository 😉
  
  Add to obtanium and have it auto update!
- available on AUR for Arch and derivatires
- Dev needs to eat.
  
  No doubt. I just think it’s a bit pricey.
  If it were $.99 or $1.99, I’d buy it
- huh? i just installed the flatpak for free.
