That's extremely useful to know about yt-dlp.
I've only ever used it to download videos permanently fire offline viewing when traveling. I never knew it could work as a temp cache as well.
I'll probably make a comment linking comments here with good solutions soon.
Ask that's left is to figure out a decent IPTV program. Really liked Hypnotix but it seems it's just too much for the Pi
have you tried VLC? It works with IPTV if I am remembering right.
I didn't know VLC worked with IPTV. I'm guessing through plug in?
VLC was giving me issues too when playing video as well though, but only on some distros
How to play IPTV using iptv-org playlist and VLC
More directions at iptv-orgs github
You should see a bunch of IPTV streams to choose from. Go to search bar located top right to search playlist for the stream you want. You can look for a more specific iptv-org playlist for your language and stuff. when commercial breaks happen it just shows a still frame. If nothing is playing right away try waiting a few minutes.
I hope all this has helped you out, Lumisal. I updated the formatting on my comments to closer resemble a guide in case you decide to link them in the future. Enjoy your open and energy efficient computing!
