Nova Core: Powerful DVB to IPTV streaming headend. Convert DVB tuners to HTTP-TS & UDP streams. Modern UI, EPG & static binary. Free, self-hosted alternative to Astra/Flussonic/TVHeadend.
Nova Core is a comprehensive, self-hosted IPTV streaming solution that transforms traditional broadcast sources (satellite, terrestrial, and cable) into accessible online streams. Using Linux DVB tuners, it converts the signals into HTTP-TS, UDP/multicast, or M3U playlists with synchronized XMLTV guides and channel logos, compatible with platforms like Jellyfin, Plex, TiviMate, and VLC. Nova Core’s streamlined architecture includes a single static binary, easy one-command systemd installation, and an intuitive web UI for managing tuners, streams, EPG (harvested directly from broadcast EIT), client sessions, and logs. The free version caters to free-to-air DVB-IP, while the paid Enterprise tier adds conditional access and operator features, supporting builds for amd64, arm64, armv7, and i386 architectures.
