There are some conspicuous erasures of countries on the data used to make this map.

I was really hoping to catch up on Real Housewives of Vatican City

and Survivor Palau. I noticed New Zealand was missing and Island, Cyprus had no Türkiye on it, Gaza was part of Israel, etcetc

Can someone explain the economics of this? So, there are a bunch of open http endpoints serving free video feeds and they don't care about bandwidth? It's not like radio where you broadcast it and people passively receive the signal. This is a great service for language practice, though. Wish it had a login + favorites system.

The URL updates with the channel you’re watching. Your browser bookmarks could be used as your own favorites system.

One of those projects that has me wondering what I was doing instead of building this. The end result is great, and the technical details seem like they'd be interesting. TIL about Internet Protocol TV: https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv

I have a friend who purchased some sketchy IPTV service for $100/year. Basically all the cable and premium channels from around the world. Navigating the channels are difficult as there are many duplicates or all the local channels around the country. Interesting to watch the news in different areas and sometimes a little unreliable and probably illegal but it was a TIL for me too.

I never got into this aspect of networking, so I truly don't know what I'm talking about and wish someone will correct me, but on some level, IP does indeed have broadcast/multicast capabilities that cause the sender's egress traffic to remain independent of the number of recipients rather than being equal to the sum of recipients' ingress traffic, right? Does this only work downstream of the last router, and therefo…

I think you are right. Multicast is typically udp and only available on your local net if the router is configured for it. I haven't used multicast in along so I might be wrong. I remember network updates breaking it.

This is awesome. If the site owner is reading this, favorites would be cool.

As someone mentioned, each channel has it's own unique URL. Create a Bookmarks / Favorites folder in your browser of choice and just add.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think its inevitable death will be from all that unrestricted pornography. That being said, these kinds of projects usually hold up for quite some time.

My children were interested in playing with it, but this was my fear. Is there actually pornography streaming on it?

The GitHub notes they were required to remove any nsfw content, or unlabeled content.
