watchteleboy

============

is a script to watch and record IPTV streams from http://www.teleboy.ch

while leaving out unskippable ads and other browser annoyances. It uses

the highly configurable mpv media player for playback. By using a custom

MPEG-DASH implementation, it allows access to the cached media segments

and thus plays up to 3 hours old content (depending on how long

segments are cached on cdn servers).

This is a complete rewrite in Python of the original script written in Bash.

The new Python version is not yet that mature, but already usable. Teleboy's

switch from Apple HLS to MPEG-DASH triggered the rewrite.

The script comes with an intuitive terminal user interface that gives

access to different video qualities and audio languages.
