Recently, more precisely in the latest release, the Hypnotix program was introduced into Linux Mint.
Hypnotix is an IPTV streaming application with support for live TV, movies and series.
I took version 1.4 from here: https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix
It is written in Python and does not immediately work in Fossapup. I had to install these python packages:
gi, python3-gi, setproctitle, gir1.2-gtk-3.0, gir1.2-xapp, python3-imdbpy
You can install both from PPM and via pip install package-name.
Out of the box, Hypnotix uses "IPTV provider called Free-IPTV". They said that too loudly, "provider", since this is just a .m3u playlist for Kodi.
Small lyrical digression. Pfff... Free-IPTV contains channels for Belarus, for example, but no channels for Russia 
Politics? Sclerosis? Anyway
Here is an excellent playlist for 5000 channels and it works in Hypnotix, and there is a division into categories, countries and languages:

Everything seems to be fine... Mmmm... But you can just stupidly download playlist for the desired country from here:
https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/tree/master/channels
Let's say you downloaded pl.m3u for Poland. Then poke it with the right mouse button and open it with Celluloid, SMPlayer or even mpv. And there will be the necessary channels
Who has any thoughts, do we need programs like Hypnotix? Or has everything already been invented?
