Easily create XMLTV files.
Plan your watching journey!
You can use the https://animenosekai.github.io/japanterebi-xmltv/guide.xml URL as an XMLTV source in any compatible software.
This pre-built XMLTV file contains EPG data for channels from Japan or with Japanese audio.
This file is updated every hour using GitHub Actions.
But you can also build your own XMLTV file using the different scripts provided in this repository.
The different programs located in the scripts directory require Python 3.7 to run correctly.
The dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt file. You can install them by running:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt --upgradeThe filter.py script filters the different channels from the iptv-org/database repository.
To download the repository, you can run the following command:
git clone --depth 1 -b main https://github.com/iptv-org/database.gitYou can run the script with the following command:
python scripts/filter.py --input <database/data/channels.csv> <output_path.json>database/data/channels.csv is the path to the channels CSV file from the iptv-org/database repository.
You can specify :
--languageto filter the channels by language--countryto filter the channels by country--categoryto filter the channels by category
You can use those options multiple times to filter the channels by multiple criteria.
The different filters add up, and a union is made between the different filters.
You can also directly use the --add or --remove options to add or remove channels IDs from the list.
Here is an example output :
[

"name": "ABEMA Anime",
"alt_names": [
"ABEMAアニメ"

]Here is the command used in the workflow:
You can also use the script as a Python module. It provides a way to convert the CSV file to a list of Channel objects, which can easily be manipulated.
The fetcher.py gathers the different EPG sites which can be used to create the final EPG.
You need to download the iptv-org/epg repository to get the different EPG sites first.
git clone --depth 1 -b master https://github.com/iptv-org/epg.gitThen you can run the script with the following command:
python scripts/fetcher.py --input <input_path.json> --sites epg/sites <output_path.xml>The input_path.json file should contain the list of channels you want to fetch. It should be generated by the filter.py script.
Here is the command used in the workflow:
The output is an XML file which can be used with the grab command from the iptv-org/epg repository.
npm run grab -- --channels=<output_path.xml>Because sometimes the EPG sites return non-escaped & characters, the fix.py script fixes the XML file by correctly escaping those characters.
You can run the script with the following command:
python scripts/fix.py --input <input_path.xml> <output_path.xml>Here is the command used in the workflow:
Because the grab command gathers information from different EPG sites, the final EPG has multiple redundant entries.
The merger.py script merges the different EPG entries into a single one.
You can run the script with the following command:
python scripts/merger.py --input <input_path.xml> <output_path.xml>The input_path.xml file should be the output of the grab command, or an equivalent XMLTV-formatted file.
Here is the command used in the workflow:
The minify.py script simply minfies the XMLTV file.
You can run the script with the following command:
python scripts/minify.py --input <input_path.xml> <output_path.xml>Note
Note that it just removes empty lines for now.
