Free IP TV player for WebOS (LG TVs)
Hi Everyone, I am a student that's gonna be studying comp sci soon and before I get there I figured id learn some JS. While doing so I kinda got rage baited by smarters ip tv being one of the worst apps ever made and decided I was gonna make my own app that doesn't lag and crash and break every 2 seconds. I am still learning and parts of this app are held together with AI (until i acc figure out those parts myself at which point i will rewrite them for efficiency). But as of now I believe this app is genuinely better than all other options out there. its also completely free with no ads as I initially built this just for personal use but I figured id share it and get myself some motivation to acc continue it.
As of right now the app is only live tv with no vod. i might add vod some point down the line but my approach has been for it to be as simple and fast as possible.
Features include adding channels to favs and creating categories within fav and organising channels. the channel up and down button work to go up and down the list which no other ip tv player app seems to have. Theres also epg support
The app is at https://github.com/sharktie/ (I cant link the ip tv repo due to reddit filters but you should be able to find it)
You can also look at this for a preview of what it looks like https://sharktie.github.io/lg-ip tv (remove the space between ip and tv)
You can either add the repo in the readme section to homebrew and install it straight from the app or you can manually download the file from releases and install it via dev manager. (the app does require dev mode)
I've also made a discord server in case anyone wants to drop suggestions and whatnot. Also feel free to come tell me about all the bugs you find as so far I've only tested it on webOS 24. Also I've only recently started adding d pad support so its still a bit broken but it'll get there in the next few days.
