IPTV Player Web App

IPTV Player Web App is a simple web-based application that allows you to load and play IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) channels from an M3U playlist. You can search for channels, view their details, and easily play them in a built-in video player. Demo: https://afzafri.github.io/IPTV-Player-Web-App

Features

• Load IPTV channels from an M3U URL.
• Search for channels within the playlist.
• View channel details with logos.
• Play channels in a user-friendly video player.
• Your M3U playlists URL are automatically saved to your browser local storage and auto load the next time you visit the page.

Issues

• Will not work on iOS due to missing DRM support on iOS
• If the M3U source URL has CORS restrictions, this web app won’t be able to fetch the data due to client-side limitations
• Most Video/Stream links might not be playable due to CORS blocking
