The template is now live on the site, you can see an example here: https://lemmy.opensupply.space/post/6
If the provider supports either m3u links or the xtream codes api, it's going to work for pretty much any IPTV player. Most video players will only support m3u links. The template should be out soon with all the necessary info (including EPG support). Thanks for the feedback.
Thinking about this a little more, I think it might be easier for everyone if I provide some kind of template that they can easily fill in with the relevant details. This is simpler for me as an admin to manage, simpler for providers and potential customers can easily see what is on offer. Thanks for the idea!
Good suggestion. It's not always clear where to draw the line between "rules" and "guidelines", but I think this guideline, for example, should be re-written as a rule:
Some examples are: pricing, accepted payment modes, channels list, VPN compatibility, device compatibility, trial availability.
I'll make the changes and include info you've suggested as well. Thanks.
Personally, I would prefer element or signal, as suggested in the posting guidelines: https://lemmy.opensupply.space/post/1
But most of the providers have been operating on discord/telegram for a while and are unwilling to make the shift. They have their reasons too, I guess.
Yes. Right now, it's listed in the posting guidelines: https://lemmy.opensupply.space/post/1
But I suppose I'll have to enforce it.
I understand why you think that might be the case, but I've set up the community such that you can't create a post unless you are approved by an admin. Approval here means that your service needs to be vetted before you can post. The whole point is to find quality providers and share reviews, if we allow anyone to post, the community would be overrun by low effort spammers in no time.
Also, see this comment on why I'm hesitant to share the spreadsheet.
