## What it is
A curated collection of publicly available IPTV channel stream links from around the world, published as M3U playlists. It is accompanied by a channel database, API, and EPG resources, and is consumed via any video player that supports live streaming.

## Use cases
- watch free live TV channels from around the world
- find m3u playlists for IPTV players like VLC
- get an electronic program guide for IPTV channels
- look up channel metadata via the iptv-org API
- build an app that lists publicly available TV streams

## When to choose
- you want ready-made playlists of publicly available live TV streams
- you need structured channel data or EPG for IPTV tooling
- you want a regularly updated, community-maintained stream index

## When to avoid
- you need to host or store video files yourself
- you require guaranteed legal rights to all streams in your jurisdiction
- you need a video player or streaming server rather than playlists

- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: streaming, developer-tools
- domain: media, entertainment
