TV Garden

Thanks. I could spend hours watching distant cultures. Their colours, environment, technical equipment... I saw some people in Somalia using DJI microphones, those that in the West are mainly used by YouTubers.

I also see TVs that are normally subject to fees. I'm aware the FAQs say it's only public streams, but I fear this won't last long.

Non-public streams wouldn’t be published without DRM, or at least not as publicly retrievable (i.e. without any authentication) M3U playlists, would they?

Yes - for some of these you can stream if you know the URL, but you're only able to discover the URL after making an account.

I think its inevitable death will be from all that unrestricted pornography. That being said, these kinds of projects usually hold up for quite some time.

If they contain some entropy, i.e. if there's path/parameter based bearer token authentication, sure.

Where are the pornographic channels? You know, so I can avoid them?

My children were interested in playing with it, but this was my fear. Is there actually pornography streaming on it?

The GitHub notes they were required to remove any nsfw content, or unlabeled content.

The definition of "public" in this context is not straightforward. I, too, doubt the site is long for this world, and due to its ease-of-use could possibly also draw the broadcasters' attention to all the unprotected streams they may have either not known about, or not cared about because they were only really discoverable/usable by a relatively small group of geeks

I think a number of these are also public rebroadcasts piggybacking off a less-public source.

Definitely a lot of these are also [re]broadcasts from vendors, probably for a specific platform or distribution target, that people found the URLs for and that the original source isn't super aware of the details of

I came across erotic films in a Swiss channel, so yes. The catch is that they probably were streaming it at 3 a.m. in the night but i watched it at 7 p.m across the ocean
