Apollo Group TV to STRM generator

[EladBar 0]

AGTV2STRM

Convert Apollo Group TV M3U lists to STRM files, Extracts media (TV Show / Movie) details (Title, release date) from The Movie DB (TMDB).

Available at: https://gitlab.com/elad.bar/agtv2strm

How it works

First execution can take up to 5 minutes to create all STRM files (~113k media streams), after then, it will fetch only gaps (~15 seconds), Interval of executions is 1 minute.

Stage	Duration	More details
Load up to date M3U list from Apollo Group TV	3 seconds	Any cycle
Extract streams (Movies / TV Episodes) from M3U lists	1 second	Any cycle
Load media details from TMDB	120 seconds	Initial load is about 15k titles, once cache available, only new titles will be retrieved
Merge data of TMDB into streams	2 seconds	Any cycle
Created unique directories under /app/media	11 seconds	First cycle only
Build STRM files under the /app/media directory	130 seconds
List invalid streams that were not processed	0	Use case: AGTV reported stream as movie, TMDB reported it as tvshow

Cache

For faster loading of data and debugging, cache directory located at /app/cache, It is highly suggested to map to volume to avoid losing information after redeploy image.

• agtv.json - M3U list from Apollo Group TV - Debug only
• streams.json - Streams details
• tmdb.json - TMDB details

i use windows and haven't tinkered with dockers much. if i install windows docker, is this a script for it to auto install?

if you install docker, you should be able to select the image inside docker, install, run and then configure it from the wizard. It is normally straight forward once you get the hang of it.

thanks ill give it a shot. i just made one that monitors a list of shows and what season your on. then creates strm files. ideally i would like a groups that they have in the apollo app. like my list movies, my list shows, whats trending, etc. does yours do that? if so, do you have special link from apollo for that?

I have another solution of Xtream providers that build the directory according to category, i can implement it like this if you would, not too complex

i also created an app , that will auto download what ever movie or season of series from apollo for you to watch later. if you like, not sure if you use windows or linux?
