iptv

iptv-org/iptv is a community-maintained index of publicly available IPTV channels organized into a giant, continuously updated set of M3U playlists. Instead of hosting streams, the project curates links already available on the public internet and classifies them by country, language, category, and channel metadata. The repository’s structure makes it easy to consume at different granularities: you can grab a global list, a country-specific list, or a themed list such as news, sports, or kids. Validation scripts and contributor guidelines help keep dead links and geo-restricted sources under control, improving reliability over time. The project is popular with hobbyists and integrators alike because the playlists work with most media players, set-top boxes, and home media servers that support M3U. It also documents best practices for respectful use, emphasizing that stream availability can change and that users should comply with local laws and the channels’ terms of service.
