Watch Abema TV channels with EPG
Abema TV viewer adds an EPG to free Japanese channels
Abema TV is a small web project that lets users watch Abema's free channels through a player page and browse an electronic program guide. The repository is maintained by dbghelp and has no declared license.
What the player does
The project provides player links that load Abema channel playlists in an M3U8 format, with a 1080p stream and a 240p preview option. A viewer opens the page and the video plays in the browser. The README notes that access works from a Japan IP address only, which is how Abema restricts its free streams.
Browsing the guide
Hovering over a channel logo shows the electronic program guide for that channel, including thumbnail images pulled from an epg.xml file. A separate EPG button opens the full traditional grid for all channels. The guide data comes from an XML file committed alongside the player code.
Related IPTV player
The same author publishes a separate HTML IPTV player with an EPG viewer for M3U8 playlists, which the README links to. That companion tool shares the same rendering approach. With about three dozen stars, Abema TV is a niche utility for viewers who already have access to Abema's region.
Editorial conclusion
The repository declares no license, and the player is built around Abema's free M3U8 streams that the README says are reachable only from a Japan IP.
