IPTVnator project

IPTVnator is a free, open-source IPTV player for macOS, Windows, Linux, and the browser. The project says it does not provide or sell subscriptions, channels, playlists, or other media. Users bring their own sources.

A player application does not automatically include a content subscription. Playback still needs a source you are allowed to use. This site does not collect playlist URLs, subscription logins, passwords, or other secrets, and it does not provide stream lists.
