USTVGO-IPTV is an app that allows you to watch free IPTV.
It extracts stream URLs from ustvgo.tv website, generates master playlist with available TV channels for IPTV players and proxies the traffic between your IPTV players and streaming backends.
Note: See also a port of this app for 123TV service
- 🔑 Auto auth-key rotation
As server proxies the traffic it can detect if your auth key is expired and refresh it on the fly.
- 📺 Available TV Guide
TV Guide repo generates EPG XML for upcoming programs of all the channels twice an hour.

There are 2 channel iconsets adapted for apps with light and dark UI themes.

To play and enjoy your free IPTV you need 2 URLs that this app provides:
- Your generated master playlist: 🔗 http://127.0.0.1:6363/ustvgo.m3u8
- TV Guide (content updates twice an hour): 🔗 http://127.0.0.1:6363/tvguide.xml
Here is a list of popular IPTV players.
USTVGO's channels have EIA-608 embedded subtitles. In case if you're not a native speaker and use TV, Cartoons, Movies and Shows to learn English and Spanish languages I would recommend you following free open-source cross-platform IPTV players that can handle EIA-608 subtitles:
-
This old beast could play any subtitles. Unfortunately it doesn't support TV Guide.
- Play
vlc http://127.0.0.1:6363/ustvgo.m3u8
- Play
-
Fast and extensible player. It supports subtitles, but not that good as VLC, sometimes you could encounter troubles playing roll-up subtitles. Unfortunately it doesn't suppport TV Guide.
- Play
mpv http://127.0.0.1:6363/ustvgo.m3u8
- Play
-
Comfortable, handy, extensible with smooth UI player. Supports TV Guide, has mpv as a backend.
Supports subtitles, but there is no option to enable them via user interface. If you want to enable IPTV subtitles you have to use following "Mute" hack.
-
Enable IPTV subtitles
I found a quick hack to force play embedded IPTV subtitles, all you need is to create one file:
Linux:
~/.local/share/jellyfinmediaplayer/scripts/subtitles.luaLinux(Flatpak):
~/.var/app/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player/data/jellyfinmediaplayer/scripts/subtitles.luaMacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Jellyfin Media Player/scripts/subtitles.luaWindows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\JellyfinMediaPlayer\scripts\subtitles.luaAnd paste following text in there:
-- File: subtitles.lua function on_mute_change(name, value) if value then local subs_id = mp.get_property("sid") if subs_id == "1" then mp.osd_message("Subtitles off") mp.set_property("sid", "0") else mp.osd_message("Subtitles on") mp.set_property("sid", "1") end end end mp.observe_property("mute", "bool", on_mute_change)
After that every time you mute a video (🅼 key pressed), you toggle subtitles on/off as a side effect.
