- guiomie 8y agoI guess this could be useful for small ISPs in the US who don't want to pay for an iptv platform or is this more for people with security camera networks?
- fastonosql 8y agoYes, it is good idea, i don't think about security cams.
- GeneticGenesis 8y agoHey, your website seems to be down and there isn't really any documentation on your project - what sort of codecs, packaging and delivery formats will you be supporting? Thanks!
- fastonosql 8y agoHey, need to create wiki page, based on gstreamer pipeline. What can gstreamer can be done in this serivice. Here some commands https://github.com/fastogt/iptv/blob/master/clients/client.py https://github.com/fastogt/iptv/blob/master/clients/client.p... . In mostly make install, tested on debian/fedora/ubuntu.
- bonestamp2 8y agoI thought it was down at first too, but that seems to be a link to the org's site, the site for the project appears to be up: https://fastotv.com https://fastotv.com
- fastonosql 8y agoYes it is, iptv it is our backend service.
- the_other_guy 8y agoI am really curious, why isn't there any popular FOSS P2P for live streaming? It's very easy to get any show, movie, game via torrents but you can't just do the same for a live football match, is there a technical obstacle for this?
- general8bitso 8y agoThey exist, particularly as Kodi plugins.
- the_other_guy 8y agofree? like what?
- dylz 8y agoIt's like a bizarre network of bad pirate streams, when one goes down someone starts another. Kodi plugins in this context generally just refer to pirate streams. Torrents: downloading is a lot easier than simultaneous live streaming to many people; this is why many streaming sites moved from something like RTMP to HLS/DASH/etc - instead of a persistent connected stream, they just upload small video files
- kristofferR 8y agoPlexus and Sparkle are the Kodi plugins you want, it scrapes the *Streams subreddits for Acestreams.
- harlanji 8y agoP2P might not be the best method for live streaming. I build a FLOSS live streaming platform that uses HLS, and latency via Cloudflare CDN matches Twitch. That is just a growing uncachable playlist with timestamped cachable segment files. It can simultaneously syndicate out to multiple networks like Twitch, YT, and FB.
- kristofferR 8y agoThat's not really accurate, Ace Streams (live TV over BitTorrent) are very popular for live sport matches. It's not open source though :/ Tribler offers FOSS P2PTV, but it's not widely used.
- todd3834 8y agoI would love to see some screenshots of the UI? Or am I misunderstanding the product? Is this like an open source Apple TV competitor?
- fastonosql 8y agoHey, now we have only cli. This product used for streming service encode/transcode/timeshift etc... live streams.

- marketgod 8y agoThis is pretty awesome. I just set it up for my own IPTV to stream my own servers. Really simple. Create an M3U of all your servers, i.e. PC1, PC2, PC3 and so on. Upload the M3U and generate an installer. Give it out to everyone you need. Now they can stream your local library. Need to remove a channel? Just remove it from the profile. Family videos? 1 binary. Educational videos? Another binary. This is awesome and would be a great STB Alternative for Windows. I'd presume it would work for M3u Streams as well for IPTV services.
