I've been using the following w/out any obvious errors.

(live TV)

https://tvnow.best/api/list/USERNAME/PASSWORD

(guide)

https://epg.starlite.best/utc.xml

I've tried others which were recommended, but these have been reliable.

Yeah still get that file doesn't exist error

Using a VPN and/or SMARTDNS? I just directly accessed both URLs in a browser & they resolve. Only thing I can imagine is an ISP block.

Sop my bash script that was simple was to change my existing strm files from the old url for the stream to the new url for the stream. with that said my java program will just put stream files where you say to put them... with that said my simple script for getting the latest movies or tv series is pretty simple:

/opt/local/afogleson/CreateStreams-1.0/bin/CreateStreams -i=false -n=/media/qnap/public/updateMedia/Movies.urls  -o=/media/qnap/
public/Video/Movies/HD -u=true
 

that reads the Movies.m3u (a file which has urls to m3u files with movies in them) and will output the folders and streams if they do not exist to /media/qnap/public/Video/Movies/HD (in year dirs then movie dirs) you could set -i=true and just pass a url to the m3u file also. -n is the url or file (which can be an m3u or a simple url file starting with #urls then one url per line. if you just run the program from the command line it will pop up a gui also. (ie run it with no parameters) and spit out all the possible params on the command line....

I know there is a python one around running in a docker container... but this for me is super simple... I probably need to add some option to "replace" the strm file too so if apollo changes their url again you could just replace that file with the new one (presumably their m3u would be correct)

Hmmm well : would be an invalid character.... on windows. all of my emby stuff is on linux... ill have to pull up the source and do something to escape/replace the windows invalid char. Let me get a fix made for that

This should take care of your problem... it basically just sanitizes the colons in the file name (removing it) so it will be "Bridget Jones Mad about the boy (2025).strm" vs "Bridget Jones: Mad about the boy (2025).strm"

 

thanks for the report.

for anyone using the tooling on a *Nix system i only do this for Windows OS so you wont end up with duplicate strm files.
