IPTV VS mpv

>Hypnotix, the TV viewer application

How does that app legal btw? Last time I checked the majority of the streams were pirated. I know the app itself is open soruce but it's still sharing copyrighted content. https://github.com/Free-TV/IPTV/tree/master/playlists

Here’s a link to check out for free legitimate content if you’re interested in dipping your toes in the water.

It's M3U playlists like Free-TV or iptv-org

This is a good curated list to start: https://github.com/Free-TV/IPTV

Internet Protocol television (IPTV): Many Television networks around the world broadcast their channels globally through IPTV. Here is a collection of publicly available IPTV channels. I’d recommend an app called Tivimate to watch these channels. If you want more than these free channels, there are IPTV providers that charge about $10/month for thousands of premium channels.

For those who are similarly curious, https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix#tv-channels-and-media-... says

> By default, Hypnotix is configured with one IPTV provider called Free-TV: https://github.com/Free-TV/IPTV

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9053

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
