Software Engineers - Open Source IPTV App

by Hungryfarang

Hi /r/iptv are there any of you enthusiasts also software engineers?

I'm passionate about IPTV and would like to help create and contribute to an open source IPTV app. Much of this has stayed propriety for too long and having an open source app would be of benefit to this entire community in my opinion.

I'm a UI/UX designer myself (with lots of project management experience) and I'm looking for engineers / developers / programmers to collaborate with on creating a best-in-class IPTV viewing experience out to the masses, with a view to using either Linux or Android as a platform.

If you think you might have a bit of time to dedicate to a project like this, i'd love to hear about it :)

This is a good place to start. https://github.com/kiall/android-tvheadend It seems fairly easy to modify for an xmltv data source and m3u playlist. Keep me posted. I'd like to help.

Very interesting! Excited to see what you guys come up with.

But devils advocate over here, I think you're fighting an uphill battle right now. You're very late to the party.

Are you looking at server side or client side? What devices?

Stalker has a huge head start already and with the recent launch of stalkertv for iOS and Android it's going to take some serious effort to compete. Just my opinion though!

Can never have too many options!
