TELLY — Live English TV

Mobile-first IPTV browser for ~2,900 free English-language channels, built as a static web app — no build step, no backend.

Data: the open-source iptv-org playlists, fetched client-side (CORS-enabled):

Features

Auto-categorized — 27 categories (News, Sports, Movies, Kids…) parsed from the playlist's group-title; "Undefined" channels are rescued via keyword rules. Religious channels are excluded (by playlist category and by name keywords)
Three view modes — card grid, dense logo wall, detailed list
Zoomable thumbnails — pinch the grid on touch, or use the toolbar slider
Country filter with flags (parsed from tvg-id), search, favorites (localStorage)
In-app player — hls.js with retry/error handling, native HLS on iOS, related-channels rail, copy-URL fallback for VLC
Multiview — watch up to 15 channels at once on a video wall that always fits the screen; tap a tile for sound, keys 1–9 switch audio, per-tile quality capping saves bandwidth. Add channels from the player (⊞), by long-pressing any card, or via pick mode
Lazy-loaded logos with generated initial placeholders, infinite scroll, 12-hour channel cache, collapsing toolbar on scroll
Multiview picture-in-picture — hitting ＋Add pops the audible channel into PiP (native OS window, in-app floating dock as fallback) so it keeps playing while you browse for more channels

Serve the repo over HTTP:

python3 -m http.server 8877   # http://localhost:8877/

Validate every stream in the playlists — reports broken URLs by failure type (404/403/timeout/DNS/TLS…) with same-channel replacement suggestions:

node tools/check-streams.mjs   # writes tools/report/stream-report.json + broken.csv

Note: streams come from public broadcasters — some are offline or geo-blocked.
