Via this post, I now know that I can watch Dog The Bounty Hunter on its own dedicated Pluto Channel 24/7, incredible

I wasn't expecting to see Cartoon Network, Food Network, MTV, Nickelodeon or FAPTV (Gay) in Russia.

Worth noting before any outcry about breaking copyright: A lot of these streams are geo-restricted (based on IP, afaik), or encrypted in some other way. It's not a 100% sure, free and easy way to view the content of streams you otherwise shouldn't have access to.

  i might be missing something, but there are not even any .m3u8 links on that page?

    You can find them on their github repo [1] [1] https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv?tab=readme-ov-file#playlists https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv?tab=readme-ov-file#playlist...

      Excellent, now i am currently watching the Snooker on BBC2!

    You are indeed missing something :) The "N stream" icon on the right shows you the stream URLs.
- edwcross 3y ago
  I don't understand what the "publicly available" means. I tried some of them and they seem to require logins or paying accounts. Does this mean that for such streams, I'm in a geo-restricted area? I wonder where some of these would _not_ be geo-restricted (especially e.g. "Canal+").
  - CaptainOfCoit 3y ago
    It means they're available to the "public", whose meaning changes depending on what country you're/the channel is in. As an example, the Swedish broadcasts from SVT (government TV) is "public" but only for people in Sweden, so if you're on a IP "located" outside of Sweden, you won't be able to watch those streams.

Basically no channels work, either DNS issues or requires creating accounts/payments.

If you use this main playlist link from the Github repo in VLC you can trawl through the whole list, pretty neat! https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u

There's also https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix I tried it a few months back and it was a mixed bag of working and not working streams

Thanks for the links and sharing. Using VLC works a charm.

A whole lot of Pluto in there.

Using their lists almost daily with Hypnotix to watch news on the laptop without having to keep a browser open to TV official web pages that often show 80%+ advertising and/or flashing crap. There are also some good IPTV players on Kodi repositories. https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix https://kodi.tv/addons/ https://kodi.tv/addons/

  The related Awesome IPTV repo also has a helpful list of resources (Linux, Windows, iOS, Android apps, online tools etc) that work really well with these IPTV channels. https://github.com/iptv-org/awesome-iptv https://github.com/iptv-org/awesome-iptv

There’s plenty of pirated paid cable channels there. I’d be careful aggregating this.
- keepamovin 3y ago
  Is it pirated or is it legit and you need login? I thought the latter, but list also had legit 'open access' channels from around the world that don't require anything to watch! :)
- anjel 3y ago
  Actually, its free access to pirated cable channels, so the pirates are being pirated, and what can they really about that except rotate IPs on a daily basis, hence the daily list updates.

Any method of using this directly on an Amazon Fire Stick? (besides VLC)
- libpcap 3y ago
  You can sideload Kodi on FireStick.

If you like this sort of stuff, Pluto TV is really good. Their official app is ad-infested, tracker-infested, georestricted garbage. However, the streams directly don't implement any of this. Their geo blocks seem to be Deezer-style client side checks that don't even apply to you if you're using VLC or any other third-party app.
