This repository is a large-scale, community-curated collection of free IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) live stream URLs, organized as standardized M3U playlist files by country and platform (e.g., Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, local broadcasters). The project functions as a data pipeline: raw stream URLs are contributed via GitHub issues, validated, formatted, and aggregated into categorized playlists (by country, language, category, region, and source) which are deployed to GitHub Pages and a JSON API. Supporting TypeScript scripts handle playlist parsing, stream testing, metadata enrichment from an external database (iptv-org/database), and automated updates via GitHub Actions. While the primary deliverable is the curated dataset, the repository includes a well-structured automation framework that could be adapted for similar data aggregation tasks. The codebase is actively maintained with daily workflows, though the underlying stream URLs are inherently unstable and subject to geo-blocking or link rot.
