TVDemon is an IPTV streaming application based on Hypnotix.
It provides a graphical desktop interface for watching live television, movies and series from IPTV services or playlists supplied by the user. The application has been redesigned around GTK4 and Libadwaita, with GStreamer handling media playback. TVDemon does not provide subscriptions or television channels itself; it connects to configured providers and local sources. Its workflow keeps content browsing and playback together in a single desktop application.
This is free and open source software.
