How to have Internet TV and Radio in Puppy?

Post by Tippe »

Hi. I tried IPTVNator.
The AppImage Version 0.15.0 seems to work in Bionic Puppy.

But it seems I'm just too stupid to find any TV- or Radio-Stations in IPTVNator.

On my TV I got some Apps from Google Play to have additional TV and Radio.
It's easy to install and easy to use, as each TV/Radio Station has its own button to choose.

There is e.g. PlutoTV, Open Radio, Radio.net, VRadio etc.pp.

I would like to listen to Radio.net or VRadio while working with Puppy.
Only have one Monitor/TV which is used for both, TV and Computer.

Is there something similar available for the Puppy Computer?

Thanks.

Bionic Puppy 64bit.
Won't use another one.

Ok,

I discovered FreeTuxTV after updating the Puppy Package Manager.
Created a .sfs for testings before installing.
Started fine.
First I didn't hear anything.
But then I switched off the JACKD and it works under ALSA.

It's a start at least.

Hello,

It's always a relief when things start working as expected, even if it sometimes requires a bit of debugging. It's like navigating between different social media platforms here, sometimes you have to adjust your settings to get it right. Speaking of which, have you ever shared your experience on Twitter? It would be great to discuss it further with other users!

No, I'm not active in so-called social media networks like Twitter etc.
I'm older than 60 years and I have many other interests that are really worth spending my rare time on it.

FreeTuxTV has lots of dead links for TV and Radio stations.
But I found some of them that are working very useful.

I think this will fit my purpose to have different Radio Stations working in Puppy.

Thanks.

Look here for tv: viewtopic.php?p=113671#p113671. Use VLC or MPV (with SMPlayer as base).
