Hypnotix is a Python-based IPTV streaming application from Linux Mint that plays live TV, movies, and series from M3U playlists, Xtream API providers, or local M3U files. It uses libmpv for playback and ships with a default provider of free, legal, publicly available channels.

Use cases

  • watch free live TV channels on Linux
  • play local M3U playlists
  • stream IPTV from an Xtream API provider
  • organize TV channels by country
  • watch movies and series from an IPTV subscription

When to choose

  • you want a simple desktop IPTV player on Linux
  • you have M3U playlists or Xtream API credentials to play
  • you use Linux Mint or a GTK/X-App compatible desktop

When to avoid

  • you need a media library manager like Kodi or Jellyfin
  • you want the app to supply channels or content itself
  • you need a cross-platform player for Windows or macOS
