🛠️ Architecture

Frontend

A simple React webpage that can stream iptv streams in hls-format. Provides synchronized playback by using a constant delay. Also supports multiple IPTV streams (channel selection) and a chat if using together with the backend.

Backend

A simple NodeJS web server that retrieves your IPTV stream, caches it, and converts it into an HLS stream, making it accessible via the web. Also supports multiple IPTV streams (channel selection).

🚀 Run

Run with Docker (Preferred)

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/antebrl/IPTV-Restream.git

Make sure to have docker up & running. Start with docker compose

docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost

Important

If a channel/playlist won't work, please try with restream through backend option enabled. This fixes most of the problems! It leads to longer initial loading times. If you don't need synchronization, turn it off in the ⚙️ or set the delay in the config.

Run components seperately

If you only need the restream functionality and want to use another iptv player (e.g. VLC), you may only run the backend.
If you only need the synchronization functionality, you may only run the frontend.

Be aware, that this'll require additional configuration/adaption and won't be officially supported. It is recommended to run the whole project as once.

FAQ & Common Mistakes

Error: Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated

To fix this, change the port mapping in the docker-compose to X:80 e.g. 8080:80. Make also sure that port X is open in the firewall configuration if you want to expose the application.
