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?

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 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
