I’m sharing OpenTV Player, an open-source IPTV player focused on simplicity, performance, and privacy.

The goal is to provide a lightweight desktop alternative for macOS and Windows without ads, tracking, or unnecessary features.

Key features:

Runs on macOS and Windows

Supports M3U / M3U8 playlists

Clean and minimal UI

Fast channel switching

No account, no ads, no telemetry

Fully open source

Project page (demo & download): https://jaccon.github.io/opentv-player/

Source code: https://github.com/jaccon/opentv-player

This is an early but functional release. Feedback, issues, and contributions are very welcome — especially around performance, UX, and playlist handling.

    everything is in Portuguese (the GitHub, the website, the screenshots).

    Is it also localized to other languages? English is probably a good start, if you haven't done that.

      Agreed. Worldwide, few people speak Portuguese. This would have better uptake if you have Cursor (or your favorite AI tool) translate the UI and doc.

      Lua, famously developed by Portuguese-speaking folks (in Brazil) is entirely in English.
