nodecast-tv is a self-hosted web application that transforms your IPTV playlists and sources into a slick, modern streaming interface accessible from any browser, designed to handle live TV, on-demand movies, and TV series with high performance. The project supports common playlist formats like Xtream Codes and M3U, offering fast channel switching, interactive EPG guides, and structured metadata displays for large catalogs without lag. Software architecture is optimized for smooth browsing through thousands of channels or VOD items using techniques like virtual scrolling and batch rendering to reduce client-side load. It includes user management with roles, favorites systems, and optional Single Sign-On (OIDC) support for enterprise or shared deployments. nodecast-tv also takes advantage of hardware acceleration where available and intelligently handles stream transcoding or remuxing to match browser compatibility, balancing quality and performance.
