This project contains python scripts which load and parse tv guide information and return the information in xml format (http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVFormat) (https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/blob/master/xmltv.dtd). You can then use the xml in various other programs such as xTeVe (https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe) or other iptv clients that allow epg in xml format.
Additionally there are scripts which generate m3u lists as well as some helper scripts.
EPG Generation
- plex.tv (plex.py)
- pluto.tv (plutotv.py)
M3U Generation
- NextPVR (nextpvr.py)
- plex.tv (plex.py)
- pluto.tv (plutotv.py)
- m3u (convert m3u for use with Streamlink)
Helper Scripts
- Plex DVR (update_plexDVR.py)
All scripts were tested using Python 3.8
