Live is a television and radio icon library with related tools for managing IPTV subscriptions and media streams.
The project addresses the need for centralized access to broadcast channel logos and stream management utilities. It provides a directly accessible icon repository for television and radio channels, along with tools for working with IPTV playlists. The core approach involves hosting channel logos at predictable URLs organized by category, offering EPG data for program guides, and providing format conversion utilities between M3U and TXT playlist formats. The infrastructure supports both IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack access, and includes an online M3U8 player and downloader for stream management.
The project suits anyone building or maintaining IPTV playlist collections, media center applications, or broadcast-related tools. It is particularly relevant for users in regions with established television broadcasting infrastructure who need reliable channel artwork and metadata. The tool is positioned as a free, open-source alternative for those requiring direct access to broadcast resources without proprietary restrictions. Users can create custom M3U subscription links by editing template files and hosting them through GitHub Pages, then reference the icon library to populate channel artwork in compatible media players.
Development activity shows consistent maintenance of the icon library with regular updates to television channel logos. The radio icon collection receives periodic updates though less frequently than the television assets. The project maintains multiple utility endpoints and tools alongside the core icon repository, indicating ongoing feature development beyond simple asset hosting. The codebase remains actively managed with attention to both the primary icon assets and the supporting web-based tools for format conversion and playback.
