How to assign EPG to IPTV streams
- Thread starter tommycahir
- Start date
Maybe somebody on here can help at the same time they would be helping everyone here.
I'll give you background on what I have so far and where the script is at.
I have managed to split all bouquets into the same as you would see on IPTV Smartapp etc.
I've converted all IPTV names to the DVB Name for EPG import. Now this works with native IPTV channels and some non UK DVB channels at the moment. This is all completed using 1 python script and EPGImport.
I have a full list of all IPTV Names, DVB Names n service tags for all channels some 10,000 odd.
Here's where a new script comes in. I think if we could search the bouquets for channel name in the line, then replace the service tag for the DVB tag from the list I have. That should then give us full EPG and Picons for all channels. This all should work via cron jobs to download the m3u, split it for the bouquets add the EPG sources n custom tv files in the EPGImport folder, (this is done so far) then add the DVB service names to the custom channel xml files run epgimport.
Thats if you can understand me

Likewise mate. Been at it for over a week and am making very slow progress. Be great if you could a simplified version set up for this and share it if possible. Good luck
Had partial success with the script.
Changed a few things fixed a wrong stream type bug which has now ruined the big success we had with service_ref included in bouquets from a csv file. But as this would need updating on a regular basis anyway I was about to give up on that.
We do however have a working script now that will import m3u file, split into bouquets and give approx 40-50% of channels the EPG.
So it's coming along and we hope to be sharing it soon.

That is correct.
In the first instance, Suls latest script requires two parameters, not just the m3u file (one parameter)
In the second instance, the shell cannot find the script because the local directory (.) is not in the default search path, which is why you have to use './'
It looks like your providers xml tv url is required as the second parameter.
I don't have an xml tv url from my provider, I just wanted the script to split the channels into bouquets, which is what the first version of the script did.

Quick Question with this for section 7
run the script passing the url for your m3u file and the url for your providers XML TV data feed (for FAB the below works)
note: you need to replace the username and password values X 2
python e2m3u2bouquet.py "http://stream.fabiptv.com:25461/get...password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts" "http://stream.fabiptv.com:25461/xmltv.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD"
If a provider doesn't provide an xmltv data feed is there anyway just to manually pull your own and add it ?

Yes if your m3u is largely UK based and you have valid rytec references in your m3u file (eg: tvg-id= xxxxxx.uk) use a rytec source as the second parameter eg: "http://www.vuplus-community.net/rytec/rytecxmltv-UK.gz"
Otherwise you need to find a way of getting XML epg data on to your box and passing a local reference in the second parameter "\etc\epgimport\myownepgdata.xml"

Hi tommychair!
This is fantastic! I will give it a go tomorrow. Can I also ask how to add the subtitles?
Thanks!

hi am trying to get the script working with my provider m3u file.
script does it thing and puts the bouquests on box in singe bouquests and then blue screens and wont boot up.
my provider m3u file is like this
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="BBC One HD" tvg-id="BBC One HD" tvg-name="BBC One HD" tvg-logo="http://www.tv-logo.com/pt-data/uploads/images/logo/bbc_one_hd.jpg "group-title="Entertainment"",BBC One HD
I think it needs to be like this
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="UK: 3E SD" tvg-name="3E HD" tvg-logo="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/66/3e_Ireland_2017.png" group-title="UK Entertainment",3E HD
so is there a way to make the script work with my m3u file.
thanks hedges
The parser needs rewriting / adjusting to match the different format
