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?

    I’m GOING to the Olympics this year. Totally stoked to travel to France. It is the only vacation my wife and I are taking this year.

      I don’t understand why you felt the need to comment this or why others felt the need to upvote it. What is your purpose?

        I think it’s to send a message that many people feel disinterested in the olympics for whatever reason.

        For me, I am disgusted that the the olympics have turned into a corporate money making machine. Hosting countries will pick a huge chunk of land to “terraform” into a games site, with little regard to the people who live there or nearby. They’ll displace residents, make people build the infrastructure for low wages and in poor conditions. They’ll spend billions to try and make snow where snow doesn’t naturally occur. The ecological impact alone is massive. There’s also the issue of the housing for the Olympians being substandard and dangerous. I’m not claiming that this happens every time in every country, but it’s certainly a problem and I don’t want to be part of it.

        There’s also the issue of banning trans athletes from competing, which continues to be rooted in ignorance and hypocritical disagreements around what we define as fair. (Bring on the downvotes, I don’t care.)

        I debated posting this at all because it’s off topic, but the question was asked so I gave my perspective.

    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

        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?

    • 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

    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

    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.

        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.
