Xtream Codes
Instead of an M3U URL, URL can be a direct login to an Xtream Codes
panel:
tvdinner 'xtream://username:password@host:port'
Use xtreams:// instead of xtream:// if the panel is served over
https.
tvdinner logs in, fetches the live channel list (each panel category
becomes a channel group, same as an M3U group-title), and points EPG
loading straight at the panel's own XMLTV export (xmltv.php) — no
--epg needed. From there, everything works exactly as it does for a
plain M3U playlist: the program guide,
favorites, per-channel EPG shifts, recording, and scheduling need zero
Xtream-specific handling.
Live stream URLs default to a .ts container. If your panel needs
.m3u8 instead, add it as a query parameter:
tvdinner 'xtream://myuser:mypass@panel.example.com:8080?output=m3u8'
Unlike a plain M3U playlist, an Xtream panel exposes movies through
its own dedicated VOD API, so tvdinner always browses it that way —
there's no --vod-group equivalent needed or supported here. See
VOD Browsing & Resume.
Like an M3U URL that happens to embed credentials in its query string,
an xtream:// URL's username and password are stored as plain text
wherever the source URL itself is stored — a saved
bookmark's bookmarks.json,
favorites.json (keyed by feed), and inside a tvdinner backup
archive. They're never written to the log file, which always shows a
redacted user:***@host form instead.
