fhs_m3u2strm

M3u iptv to strm files for iptv2vod services. My current iptv provider delivers a m3u file with a lot of VOD programs into it also. But i wanted to have a nice way to use it from kodi or jellyfin as normal media.

So i created this program which makes it easy to use vod streams from an iptv provider using a mediaserver/player as kodi / plex / jellyfin / emby and a lot more i think.
