Sanity Check on IPTV (midwest.social)

So I want to add IPTV to my entertainment menu. (If you have good provider or app recommendations, DM me). But I want to run it through VPN.

What I'm thinking of doing is getting an inexpensive, second android box to use to watch IPTV. Then set up a VPN tunnel on my router and send all traffic from that device through the VPN.

That ensures I won't disrupt any existing streaming services with VPN, and I won't have to remember to fire up the VPN before watching IPTV (more importantly, I'm sure my kid won't remember). Thoughts?

Dispatcharr

Hmm, if it gives you a local M3U list, I bet it would run in Jellyfin too.

You definitely could. I tried, and it works like a champ. The only downside I see to this approach is that JellyFin's UI for TV kinda sucks. It's unintuitive, and for Android TV barely usable. So I decided to use the local M3U file from Dispatcharr with Televizo app. It's available for Android TV (free through external APK), and the UI is far more polished.
