IPTV is a live streaming source aggregator that provides free, ad-free IPTV broadcast channels in M3U and TXT formats with support for both IPv4 and IPv6 access.
The project addresses the need for reliable, up-to-date IPTV streaming sources by automatically collecting and validating broadcast streams from publicly available network resources. It operates through GitHub Actions workflows that scan and verify sources every six hours, ensuring freshness and stability. The tool provides thousands of domestic and international high-definition channels including CCTV and provincial satellite stations, along with EPG program guides and channel logos.
The project suits anyone seeking free television streaming without advertisements across multiple device types—smart TV boxes, mobile phones, and computers running iOS, Android 4.0 and above, or desktop systems. The README recommends that users unwilling to work with the open-source project directly can instead download the companion "Live TV" application, which offers the same channel access with full compatibility across phones and TV boxes. The tool provides dual-format delivery in both M3U playlists with embedded metadata and plain TXT source lists, allowing flexibility in player choice.
The project maintains active development with regular automated updates to streaming sources. The README explicitly disclaims responsibility for source content, availability, stability, and legality, noting that all broadcast streams originate from third-party providers and the project stores no media content itself.
