## What it is
A service that automatically aggregates and updates IPTV m3u playlist sources from multiple public repositories, with EPG data and optional stream checking. It can be self-hosted via Docker, Node.js, or GitHub Pages, and exposes updated playlists over HTTP.

## Use cases
- get auto-updated iptv m3u playlists
- aggregate live tv channel sources
- self-host an iptv playlist server
- add epg guide data to iptv playlists
- check which iptv streams are still alive
- use iptv playlists in kodi or tvbox

## When to choose
- you want continuously refreshed m3u playlists without manual maintenance
- you need a self-hosted playlist aggregator with Docker or GitHub Pages deployment
- you use players like Kodi or TVBox that consume m3u and EPG urls

## When to avoid
- you need a video player or recording capability rather than playlists
- you only want a one-time static playlist download
- you require licensed or paid TV content
