Do any of you have a plan in place for how to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics? I’ve got a good Jellyfin ecosystem set up to watch my video files and listen to my music, but I haven’t explored many ways to watch live sports content yet. What is the best way to tune in to the events at the Paris Olympics this summer? They’re split across several TV channels. Smooth UX would be my priority - I’m willing to spend a little money if need be. So I was considering going for a Youtube TV free trial during the event, but is there a better method?

Combination of Sportsfire and Streamfire apps.

As the Olympics will be on a lot of TV channels, here’s how to get TV stations:

  1. Here are a lot of live TV channels as m3u or m3u8 links: https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv – VLC player can open them, e.g. if you command-line vlc https://dx4452e0qv6r9.cloudfront.net/tg4_vod_national.m3u8 then VLC starts playing TG4 live.

  2. About 700 live channels here in the browser: https://dlhd.so/24-7-channels.php

Im still looking for a good androidTV IPTV app that isn’t full of garbage, but other then that, seconding this

Sportscult is a great private tracker for all the sports content, gets regularly updated. For streaming, Check out dramalive for android, its pretty great

Has there been any particular controversy or do you just not want to see it on/don’t have a TV?

I think it’s to send a message that many people feel disinterested in the olympics for whatever reason.

For me, I am disgusted that the the olympics have turned into a corporate money making machine. Hosting countries will pick a huge chunk of land to “terraform” into a games site, with little regard to the people who live there or nearby. They’ll displace residents, make people build the infrastructure for low wages and in poor conditions. They’ll spend billions to try and make snow where snow doesn’t naturally occur. The ecological impact alone is massive. There’s also the issue of the housing for the Olympians being substandard and dangerous. I’m not claiming that this happens every time in every country, but it’s certainly a problem and I don’t want to be part of it.

There’s also the issue of banning trans athletes from competing, which continues to be rooted in ignorance and hypocritical disagreements around what we define as fair. (Bring on the downvotes, I don’t care.)

I debated posting this at all because it’s off topic, but the question was asked so I gave my perspective.

Live sports generally:

  • try vipbox dot lc first

  • then try cricfree dot io if that doesn’t work

  • then try footybite dot one if that doesn’t work

I am with you. I am baffled when non sequitur comment got more engagements and someone got downvoted for pointing it out.

Quality is not appreciated here, I suppose.

Some people seem to define themselves by the things they don’t like. That kind of negativity is worth working on to push out of your life, for your own happiness.

You’re a useless comment

Did you just call me a comment???

Yeah :) <3

It answered the question, made me laugh, and boosted engagement so OP would be more likely to get answers from someone else who knew.

I think it’s a winning comment!

Also it’s a great indicator of agreement. The more upvotes the more people may resonate with haveing low interest.

You did not in fact laugh when you read it.

I sniffed and smirked in agreement and joy of camaraderie.

Our national broadcaster covers it quite nicely, I already paid for it with my taxes, might as well use this instead of a sketchy site or something thats a hassle to set up

I believe they should be broadcast by the national public television (France Television) which you can watch live on https://france.tv/ ; that’s if you don’t mind french lol

They may ask for an account but there’s no email check, just type whatever and you can watch it

I haven’t tried in a long time but I know a few years ago france.tv was geoblocking IPs outside of France. Don’t know that’s still the case tough. A VPN made it work though.

You could install kodi and get an IPTV account and set it up. Some european public broadcasters also have web streams for all the events, if you don’t care to much about the language. But you might need a VPN for that.

I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.

If your VPN has Canadian servers, CBC always has a very good website for watching the Olympics and IIRC you only need a Canadian IP address to access it.

I’ve done this in the past and it works great. Canadian coverage was much more calm and their commercials far less disruptive than what I was used to.
