I recently picked up a couple of Apple TV gen 3.1, and discovered you can’t do a whole lot with them aside from cast from your phone these days. I can’t solder for shit, so jailbreaks are out of the question for me, sadly. In the process of researching all this, however, I found a GitHub that will help you hijack the Redbull TV app that comes pre-installed to run IPTV through it. Anyone know of anything good I can look into further? I’m on disability and life is expensive 😭

    Jellyfin
    Something like dispatcharr (there are many other tools available like it, tvheadend is another example)
    Insert the m3u streams into it and then publish those dispatcharr m3u streams to jellyfin.
    Upside: You can also configure an electronic program guide (they can be sourced from many online sources like iptv.org)

        Yes. But the control of EPG guides and manipulation of M3U streams is not as fine-grained.
        I like how I can control
        1 What channels are imported
        2 What the channels are called
        3 Which number/order they are assigned
        4 If the provider of the streams doesnt follow the IPTV XMLTV-ID I can assign it
        5 Assign the channel logo
        6 I can configure fallback streams

          My IPTV provider allows me to select the channels I want to stream and provides a unique m3u link to use with Jelyfin.

      Awesome! Thank you for this! I only have a basic understanding of how IPTV even works, so the explanation even on its own is useful AF and gives me some avenues

        Glad this helped. DuckStreams is also a great stremio add-on as well.

        There is also a live sports stremio addon that is supposed to drop soon if you aren’t comfortable with IPTV. Although the discord says its going to be $5 / month which is pretty expensive compared to what you can get IPTV for on G2G or Alibaba (for example I pay $30/yr and there are cheaper options then that)

          I’m not much of a sportsball person, but I’ll keep that in the back of my mind anyways! Thanks!
