Overview

Convert tv7 http URLs to m3u and xmltv format, allowing timeshifting.

Compatible with tivimate and kodi. Additional contributions welcome.

Usage

Edit config.yml, and set guide_url and catchup_redirect_url to values appropriate for your environment.

M3U URL to use is http://your.server/api/channels?app=

Note: appname currently can be one of tivimate, kodi or testing

EPG Url to use is http://your.server/api/guide?app=

Note: You can set this in your app manually, or in the config (guide_url). In this case, the generated M3U will contain a link to the guide (x-tvg-url)

Testing

First set up a python virtualenv, and run pip install -r requirements.txt

Unit Tests

Run pytest
