neTV: A new option for self hosted IPTV transcoding
- dfacto 10mo agoAfter years of frustration with MythTV, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin for live TV, I finally built my own backend. What drove me here: - Slow transcoding startup times (or janky offline pre-probing) - Broken closed captioning - Poor support for older GPUs - Chromecast issues - Xtream API treated as an afterthought What I built: - Hardware-accelerated transcoding (VAAPI, NVENC) with CPU fallbacks - Optimized for older GPUs that larger projects have dropped - Cached on-the-fly stream probing stream for faster startup - Proper CC/subtitle passthrough - Chromecast that actually works - Native Xtream API support - Minimal resource footprint Soon I'll add AI upscaling, catch-up TV, and better DVR. This is a self-hosted transcoding server for live streams--similar to Jellyfin and Emby but laser focused on minimalism and performance. It doesn't provide or aggregate content.
