I want to build a tiny TV app to surface the streams in the Owncast directory. I haven't done this because:
1. The AppleTV is the best set top box, but if I built a tvOS app you'd all mock me and say I hate openness.
2. The Roku is the most popular, but Rokus _suck_ and they suck even more developing for them. I know, I've worked on multiple Roku apps.
3. Android TV boxes are ignored except for the Fire TV stick, and those are just advertising channels for Amazon that I want no part of.
@aaronpk Probably not RSS, but I know for tvOS there are a handful of "IPTV" apps that I think are mostly for overseas television providers where it'll import a playlist and surface different "channels". All those apps are pretty janky, though. Stuff like this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iprotv-for-iptv-m3u-content/id1476267616#?platform=appleTV
