Currently homebrew doesn't have access to hardware video decoding on Switch, which makes any stuff like this a lot harder. Maybe when that's achieved, IPTV could be doable if the necessary stuff is open source and available.

Not sure why this thread is revived, but Jellyfin have support for NextPVR and TVHeadEnd. So any one could use that together with Swiftfin I would guess

Looks like it's closed under a donation-only paywall server in that Discord. Minimum 10 euros for a Bronze User AMS pack with this homebrew, TsVitch:

But, I found out it's GitHub page: https://github.com/giovannimirulla/TsVitch

It's free, and supports IPTV playlists in M3U format. Works good.

Android is always a good option for media, you can use Kodi or whatever you like. It should be as capable as an Nvidia Shield TV, since it runs the same SoC.

Be careful if you want to use it for subscription services as it may be downgraded/blocked due to DRM/device integrity.

There may be workarounds, but it can become a cat and mouse game.

Of course Kodi, Plex, etc. shouldn't be affected.

PPlay can do streaming but i'm not sure about iptv services.
It's not a frontend like Plex.

Yes, Netflix will probably not stream in HD. Might be able to spoof a Shield TV to get around it though.
