This project is a centralized index and aggregator for public, free-to-air television broadcasts. It functions as a searchable database and directory that organizes open-access internet streams, allowing users to discover and browse international television channels without subscription requirements.
The platform distinguishes itself by utilizing standardized playlist formats to map remote stream URLs into a structured directory. It supports international media discovery by applying hierarchical metadata to filter content by geographic region and genre, facilitating the management of curated lists of publicly available broadcasts.
The system includes infrastructure for processing these playlists and normalizing diverse stream formats for playback. It integrates with native browser media capabilities to render live broadcast signals directly within the application interface, while managing network requests to external media servers to ensure stream accessibility.
