Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

This is my personalised version of one of these live tv streaming sites so sharing to those that may be interested. What I wanted to do is to minimalise the security risks of using these sites and also make it user friendly by giving direct links which will open immediately in your browser (embedded). This saves you from visiting the sites and going through all the steps to get to the streaming content eventually. Attached a zip file. It contains a folder and two html files. Unzip all to the same location of your choice. Open the TV Streaming Guide html file with your browser. I suggest that you then save it as a bookmark like I did. Import the Alternative Links html file with your browser's bookmarks manager.

Notes:

1. This plays directly in your browser so you don't need to install/use an external player.
2. These streaming sites can be risky to use in terms of content and legally (may be banned in your country) so use totally at your own risk. Make sure you have a good ad blocker at least.

in terms of content

I looked at the page in Geany.
I use lists and playlists from here and from here mostly. Radio playlists here.

The problem is that they show about the same shit all over the world Just by buying licenses from each other, like with the worldwide Voice show. Yes, the participants and presenters are different, but the essence is still the same.
What can you do, you have to raise the pirate flag and watch old movies in other ways.

Oh, by the way. I've been wanting to tell everyone in the Media section for a long time what three improvements need to be added to mpv to turn it into a "formidable machine" for watching and listening to content But I still can't get my hands on it.

Added a new zip file which also contain a meta folder which will make it possible to also search alphabetically.

240 million devices coming to use as IPTV players with mpv

Well, we still have to live until the autumn of 2025 And maybe Windows 10 will prolong its life there. In any case, the authors of the article do not believe that there will be so many mpv users. All these devices will end up in suburban garbage dumps (end of the global Ecology)

But in general, Puppy Linux has a chance. Unless, of course, all these devices fall into the hands of insidious Ubuntu followers who install VLC

Do you want to share with us firstly the 3 recommendations?

Also, is the source code not available to you?

Done. viewtopic.php?p=106688#p106688

And in this case, I didn't even understand what the question was about

@Grey
Firstly, thank you

The second question was in regards to your comment:

But I still can't get my hands on it.

I thought you were not able to obtain the files eg mpv

Did some more work on this. See first post for new download.

Those who don't have the fastest connections can try this site: https://thetvapp.to/tv. Some popular streams in lower resolution but very stable. Tip: Zooming the web page with 50% (150% setting) will still give you good picture and acceptable size for viewing.

I've concluded this project so this will be the final offering. All the streaming links (in both the big guide as well as the additional list) will now open directly in the browser (embedded). This has been hard work but I think well worth the effort. Just hope the links stay valid for a long time to make it worthwhile. See first post for new zip file.

I see they now offer this with higher resolution streams. This is a good alternative site because it's from a totally different source and use a different player. The links seem very stable to me. It works for me when others are down on other servers.

@amethyst The streams are working really well here in Connecticut. The link https://thetvapp.to/tv is very stable.
