I ended up building the Windows IPTV player I wish already existed
I built it out of frustration with the current Windows options, which felt unreliable, with ads, sketchy, or locked behind paid versions, so I made a version for myself and decided to open source it
Main goals:
* clean UI
* native playback
* local-only storage
* no telemetry
* no cloud account nonsense
I’d especially love feedback on:
* the UI/UX
* feature priorities
* the project presentation
* trust/safety expectations people have for software in this category

Still early, but it’s already working well for me and I hope y'all will like it. I’d really like honest feedback. One of the biggest things it doesn't have right now is epg support so I'll add that next
