Could you build this?

Partial While basic IPTV playlist parsing and forwarding can be vibe-coded, an IPTV distribution engine requires handling high-concurrency real-time MPEG-TS/HLS stream distribution, buffer management, and low-latency networking in Rust.

What it would actually take: A robust implementation requires Rust with Tokio and Actix/Axum, parsing M3U8 and handling demuxing/remuxing of MPEG-TS/fMP4 video chunks via FFmpeg or native parsers. The difficult parts are network bandwidth optimization, non-blocking I/O backpressure handling for hundreds of simultaneous live video streams, and stream reconnection/failover logic.
