Prerequisites

The app both depends on mpv and ffmpeg. ffmpeg is a depedency of mpv on all package managers. On Fedora you will need to add rpmfusion and on OpenSUSE you will need to install codecs with opi beforehand.

The Windows build comes with mpv included, but you should still install mpv from a package manager of your choice to always have the latest version installed

sudo dnf install mpv #Fedora
sudo zypper install mpv #OpenSUSE
sudo pacman -Syu mpv #Arch
sudo apt install mpv #Debian/Ubuntu
scoop install mpv # Windows
choco install mpv # Windows alternative

The .deb package should include mpv as a dependency but due to a bug in electron forge it's not working. So install it manually alongside ffmpeg if you want full functionality on Ubuntu/Debian.

Settings explained

Stream Caching

Why enabling:

  • If you have a slow internet connection/IPTV provider causing the stream to pause often

Why disabling:

  • If the stream often drops completely. It will prevent the stream from jumping too far ahead/behind
  • If you have a good internet/provider and want lower latency
  • Can prevent some weird bugs/slowdowns

Build

For building from source, you will need those packages

rpm dpkg fakeroot

For node and npm, I would strongly suggest to use NVM (node version manager) to get the latest LTS.

And then to build

cd ng-open-tv
npm run prod
cd ../electron-open-tv
npm run publish

You can add/edit targets in forge.config.js. On Windows, to prepackage mpv, place it in /libs (you will need to also create the folder).

Repackaging

I am fine if you repackage the app on open source platforms like the AUR or Snap. As long as proper credit is given and it's free. I do not authorize any repackaging on proprietary platforms like the Microsoft Store.
