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?

As the Olympics will be on a lot of TV channels, here’s how to get TV stations:
-
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. -
About 700 live channels here in the browser: https://dlhd.so/24-7-channels.php

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.

Ah shit, didn’t think about that, sorry

But almost every national (public and free) television channels will have at least most of the olympic disciplines, no? So cant you just try your national tv stations?
- Freeman ( @Freeman@lemmings.world ) English7•5 months ago
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 was having déjà vu for a minute there… saved me from having to check :)

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.
- Syd ( @Syd@lemm.ee ) English5•5 months ago
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.

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