Overview

Exclude unwanted channels based on group and generate a new M3U file with proxied streams and attributes. Updates the playlist on specified hourly frequency. Streams get proxied through a webserver running on the app. Support for XtreamCodes.

Setup

General

Get the generated .m3u file at /m3u

Settable environment variables

Variable	Default	Required	Type	Description
DATABASE_URL	-	Yes	string	Connection string to DB
M3U	-	Yes	string	URL to the M3U playlist (.m3u)
INIT_APP	true	No	boolean	Initialize app with M3U playlist from environment variable.
HOURLY_UPDATE_FREQUENCY	12	No	number	Frequency of provider playlist update in hours
GROUP_EXCLUDES	-	No	string	A comma separated list of groups to exclude from the final playlist. Case-insensitive.
PROXY_DOMAIN	-	Yes	string	Domain on which the app is running - to proxy m3u requests. (Example: localhost:3000)
ENV	Development	No	string	Set environment Development or Production.
PORT	3001	No	number	Port to run on (Default 3001)
RUST_LOG	info	Yes	string	Log level (warn,server=warn,iptv=info,api=warn rest-client=warn)
XTREAM_ENABLED	false	No	boolean	Enable Xtream
XTREAM_BASE_DOMAIN	-	No	string	Xtream provider base domain
XTREAM_USERNAME	-	No	string	Xtream provider username
XTREAM_PASSWORD	-	No	string	Xtream provider username
XTREAM_PROXIED_USERNAME	-	No	string	Proxied Xtream username
XTREAM_PROXIED_PASSWORD	-	No	string	Proxied Xtream password

Development

Set required environment variables in and .env file and then run docker-compose up.

This will fire up a MariaDB container instance and create a new DB. Which in turn will create tables and basic data using sql files in the server -> db -> migrations folder.

Production

To build and run a production docker image.

In src/server folder: docker build -t image:tag .

Create an external docker network with the name db and run your mariadb/mysql database there.

Example of production docker-compose.yml

version: '3.7'

services:
  iptvhandler:
    image: iptv-handler
    tty: true # color terminal output
    ports:
      - "3001:3001"
    restart: always
    environment:
      DATABASE_URL: mysql://username:password@db:3306/iptvhandler
      M3U: http://iptvprovider.tv:1234/get.php?username=username&password=password&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
      RUST_LOG: warn,server=info,iptv=debug
      HOURLY_UPDATE_FREQUENCY: 4
      GROUP_EXCLUDES: Music,Country,Cou
      PROXY_DOMAIN: myproxydomain.lan
      ENV: production
      XTREAM_ENABLE: "true"
      XTREAM_BASE_DOMAIN: iptvprovider.tv
      XTREAM_USERNAME: username
      XTREAM_PASSWORD: password
      XTREAM_PROXIED_USERNAME: my_new_username
      XTREAM_PROXIED_PASSWORD: my_new_password
    networks:
      - db
networks:
  db:
    external: true

DB

SQLX requirements for static type checking:

• Needs to be named DATABASE_URL
• Unfortunately have to have a common connection string for both docker container and host. Since IDE is running from host it needs access to db...
• DATABASE_URL needs to be in .env file to work. Env variable in docker-compose does not work.
• Add 127.0.0.1 host.docker.internal to your hosts file if docker hasn't done that for you

Example: DATABASE_URL="mysql://db:[email protected]:3306/iptvhandler"
