I would love to see some screenshots of the UI? Or am I misunderstanding the product? Is this like an open source Apple TV competitor?

Hey, now we have only cli. This product used for streming service encode/transcode/timeshift etc... live streams.

This is pretty awesome. I just set it up for my own IPTV to stream my own servers. Really simple.

Create an M3U of all your servers, i.e. PC1, PC2, PC3 and so on.

Upload the M3U and generate an installer.

Give it out to everyone you need.

Now they can stream your local library. Need to remove a channel? Just remove it from the profile.

Family videos? 1 binary. Educational videos? Another binary.

This is awesome and would be a great STB Alternative for Windows.

I'd presume it would work for M3u Streams as well for IPTV services.

Thank you for feedback

Hey, your website seems to be down and there isn't really any documentation on your project - what sort of codecs, packaging and delivery formats will you be supporting?

Thanks!

Hey, need to create wiki page, based on gstreamer pipeline. What can gstreamer can be done in this serivice. Here some commands https://github.com/fastogt/iptv/blob/master/clients/client.p... . In mostly make install, tested on debian/fedora/ubuntu.

I thought it was down at first too, but that seems to be a link to the org's site, the site for the project appears to be up: https://fastotv.com

Yes it is, iptv it is our backend service.

I guess this could be useful for small ISPs in the US who don't want to pay for an iptv platform or is this more for people with security camera networks?

Yes, it is good idea, i don't think about security cams.

P2P might not be the best method for live streaming. I build a FLOSS live streaming platform that uses HLS, and latency via Cloudflare CDN matches Twitch. That is just a growing uncachable playlist with timestamped cachable segment files. It can simultaneously syndicate out to multiple networks like Twitch, YT, and FB.

That's not really accurate, Ace Streams (live TV over BitTorrent) are very popular for live sport matches. It's not open source though :/

Tribler offers FOSS P2PTV, but it's not widely used.

They exist, particularly as Kodi plugins.

It's like a bizarre network of bad pirate streams, when one goes down someone starts another. Kodi plugins in this context generally just refer to pirate streams.

Torrents: downloading is a lot easier than simultaneous live streaming to many people; this is why many streaming sites moved from something like RTMP to HLS/DASH/etc - instead of a persistent connected stream, they just upload small video files

Plexus and Sparkle are the Kodi plugins you want, it scrapes the *Streams subreddits for Acestreams.
