Fred TV (Open TV)

Simply put, it's a software for watching live online TV. It loads your M3U files or online links, turning channel lists into playable playlists, running on computers, phones, and even TVs.

Many IPTV apps lag, are full of ads, or only work on one system. This project, rewritten in Rust, focuses on speed and low memory usage. It's completely free and open-source with no annoying pop-ups or ads, letting you focus on content.

1. People with IPTV resource links or files looking for a player.

2. Users who demand high smoothness and hate ad pop-ups.

3. Those who need to switch between computer, phone, and TV for live streaming.

1. Import an M3U list to watch sports live on your TV on weekends.

2. Quickly search and play specific news channels on your work computer using hotkeys.

3. Record programs while watching for later review.

Compared to other players, it starts instantly with almost zero search delay. It supports recording while watching and sharing channels with friends. The interface is clean and supports TV remote control, feeling like a native app.

No coding needed. Windows and Mac users can just download and install. Linux users might need to install mpv, ffmpeg, etc., or the Flatpak version is easiest.
