m3u-gen-acestream

M3U playlist generator for AceStream.

How to use?

• Install Python 3.7.0 or higher.

• Run ./src/m3u_gen_acestream.py to start a program. When playlist(s) is generated, you can close the program if you do not need automatic updates.

• Run AceStream if it is not running yet. In default configuration, assuming that AceStream Engine is listening at 127.0.0.1:6878.

  If you use HTTPAceProxy, you can use it instead. In default configuration, assuming that HTTPAceProxy is listening at 127.0.0.1:8000.

• Open generated playlist with your favorite IPTV player.

• Done.

Notes:

Default output folder: ./out/.

See ./src/config/config.py to configure program behavior.

See ./src/filter/filter.json to configure filter. See formatting in the config file.

See ./src/channel/injection.json to configure channel injections. See formatting in the config file.

If you use player with built-in AceStream support, you can add new 'DataSet' to the config file with URL format like 'acestream://{CONTENT_ID}'.

---

If you want to serve generated files over http, you can use python built-in http server module, for example:

cd out
python -m http.server 7999

The command above will serve output directory on port 7999.

So generated files can be accessed via local network and you can open links like <your-local-ip>:7999/<playlist-file-name> in IPTV player directly.
