What is Nova Core?

Nova Core is a self-hosted IPTV streaming server and DVB-to-IP gateway. It captures satellite, terrestrial, and cable broadcasts from Linux DVB tuners and re-streams them as HTTP-TS, UDP/multicast, and an M3U playlist with a matched XMLTV guide and per-channel logos — ready for Jellyfin, Plex, TiviMate, VLC, or any IPTV player.

It ships as a single static binary with no ffmpeg or other dependencies, installs in one command via systemd, and includes a web UI for tuners, streams, EPG, client sessions, and logs. EPG is harvested straight off the broadcast EIT (no external grabber) and merged into one master guide that lines up with the playlist.

The free Core covers free-to-air DVB?IP; a paid Enterprise tier adds conditional access and operator features. Builds for amd64, arm64, armv7, and i386.
