IPTV m3u playlist and xml epg

Added by Anonymous over 4 years ago

Hello forum!
I kinda ran into a snag, I get my channels/playlist via .m3u (url) and same goes for EPG.
1. I did solve EPG through wget and grab it once a day, so thats not really an issue.
2. Channels keep changing url, so it doesnt help to refresh channels; I need to delete and add url again and again. Is there a way to do this also in cli, so I can have it run every nite or suggestions how to solve this problem?

Maybe it's a good idea to write a script that communicates with tvheadend using the API.
I have automatized user + password add/remove using API.
Network/channel also can be manipulated by API.

Beyond my knowledge I'm afraid :-)
But maybe you've got a few tips so I can get this going?

Post a sample how that m3u looks (of course mask your username/password, and server address if needed)
And I will help as I can.

Kinda continues like that the whole file.

Bump.
Still luck with this, I can do it through interface, but it's a hassle on a daily basis.
