Is it possible to match by also using part of a group-title and not only tvg-type?

Is it possible?

My provider use group-title to filter movies vs tv-shows (series). Movies is picked up now but not series (tv-shows)

Movies: 

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="438 Days [PRE] [2019]" tvg-logo="http://XX.ZZ:2095/images/movies//f3gYSg0tCXQ6LGDlz002f2O1bBa.jpg" group-title="VOD: Old Popular Movies [Multi-Sub]",438 Days [PRE] [2019]
http://XX.ZZ:80/movie/eFXYy/eu47Y/49588.mkv

 

TV-Shows: (Has Series: in te beginning of group-title) 

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="The.Blacklist ar S06 The.Blacklist - S06E17" tvg-logo="http://XX.ZZ:2095/images/series/htJzeRcYI2ewMm4PTrg98UMXShe.jpg" group-title="Series: English [Arabic-Sub]",The.Blacklist ar S06 The.Blacklist - S06E17

I have the Docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/hooray4rob/ustreamgen) configured and running; however, I am not seeing any results. I am hoping someone can provide some advice. Here is what I am trying to accomplish.

  • My IPTV provider provides one M3U tile and one EPG file. This file contains Live TV, VOD shows, and Movies.
  • I am running an Emby server, and right now, everything shows under Live TV. My goal is to create a custom M3U file for Live TV only, then have a M3U to STRM solution parse the original file and make STRM files for the VODs and Movies. This way, the Emby interface is much cleaner and organized.
  • I would like the M3U file processed at least once per day to keep current.
  • My M3U files are as follows:

Live TV Channels: 

#EXTINF:-1,USA A&E UHD
http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/xxxxx/xxxxx/175784.ts
#EXTINF:-1,USA AccuWeather
http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/xxxxx/xxxxx/175785.ts

VODs - Notice the "series" in the URL: 

#EXTINF:-1,Four More Shots Please S02E04
http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/series/xxxxx/xxxxx/918853.mp4
#EXTINF:-1,Four More Shots Please S02E05
http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/series/xxxxx/xxxxx/2166705.mp4

Movies - Notice "movie" in the URL: 

#EXTINF:-1,Changing the Game (2019)
http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/movie/xxxxx/xxxxx/2720918.mp4
#EXTINF:-1,2 Days in New York (2012)
http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/movie/xxxxx/xxxxx/2720920.mp4

Any help would be MUCH appreciated. I am open to using this script, the Docker container above, or another solution.

I have not made any progress and am hoping someone much smarter than I with scripting (Python) and M3U/IPTV can help me out. Thank you so much in advance!

set the UID and GID to a real user with the correct permissions. If you are running with the first created user, this will usually be UID=1000 and GID= 1000

Thanks you,

Can you provide a sanitized version of your docker-compose.yaml file?

also try this version
ghcr.io/hooray4me/ustreamgen:v1.37

Hello thanks for the reply, should the 0 be 1000

Running in docker on fedora Linux 39

When I do get this running does your script put the strm files in series name and season folders?

Thanks again.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on fedora, but on ubuntu you can cat /etc/passwd and see users and their id's. you want to match the owner of the folders you create, ie tvshows, with the ID in the docker compose file... yes it should create the structures in the folders.

if emby is installed here too, might match with the emby user...

are you setting the singlelisturl? also the path to the folder for tvshows, is the wedoc user and group the owner? maybe also chmod 777 that folder.
