Looking at the repo I am not sure what this is. OS for TVs? App to watch television channels on a phone?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

An open source IPTV client (TV channels over tge internet)
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!
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.
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
