MTV died. All the cool, unique artists like off “120 minutes” are now fighting the blandest algorithms imaginable.
We wanted a place to watch weird stuff you can’t see on mainstream channels. So….
Fedi MTV goes live in ONE HOUR.

thanks @meljoann for promoting this so heavily today. Without it I would have missed hours of fun and connectedness today. And lots and lots of good music.
@meljoann Has anyone been able to play the stream in LibreElec/Kodi? I can't get it to work on mine.
@AvonVilla ooh no idea sorry! Boosted before I head to bed here. You could ask in chat also

Watch & chat on the website, or cast to yer TV, or search for “The Indie Beat” on Roku.

@meljoann can you guys tweak it so the artist and song currently playing is listed?
oh good shout! well there is a "now playing" bot here
https://mastodon.social/@tibtvnowplayingbot
and the QR code on the screen brings you to the artist's website.
but it would be cool if it was embedded on the site too
@meljoann nevermind, it is listed. My phone screen wasn’t sharp enough to see it immediately
@meljoann ooh i remember 120 minutes with marcel introducing me to the best weird music
@Kierkegaanks it was so good... we will have to lure mtv presenters to fedi mtv tho. we can pay approx $0 per appearance
@meljoann This healed a certain part of me. I love it so much.
