# EPG
|
||||
|
||||
Utilities for downloading the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) for thousands of TV channels from hundreds of sources.
|
||||
|
||||
__IMPORTANT:__ We are no longer able to provide pre-made guides due to the disabling of GitHub Actions (Read more: https://github.com/orgs/iptv-org/discussions/12#discussioncomment-5219050). This repository now contains only utilities and configurations for downloading guides yourself.

## How to use?
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
To download the guide from one of the supported sites you must have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) installed on your computer first.
|
||||
First, you need to install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) on your computer. You will also need to install [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) to follow these instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to install [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) to follow these instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
After installing them, you need to open the [Console](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Console) (or [Terminal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_(macOS)) if you have macOS) and type the following command:
|
||||
After that open the [Console](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Console) (or [Terminal](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_(macOS)>) if you have macOS) and type the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone --depth 1 -b master https://github.com/iptv-org/epg.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then also through the Console navigate to the just downloaded `epg` folder:
|
||||
Then navigate to the downloaded `epg` folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh

And install all the necessary dependencies:
|
||||
And install all the dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now choose one of the sources (their complete list can be found in the [/sites](https://github.com/iptv-org/epg/tree/master/sites) folder) and start downloading the guide using the command:
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To start the download of the guide, select one of the [supported sites](SITES.md) and paste its name into the command below:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run grab -- --site=example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To download a guide in a specific language pass its [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) code to the `--lang` argument:
|
||||
And once the download is complete, the guide will be saved to the `guide.xml` file.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run grab -- --site=example.com --lang=fr
|
||||
Usage: npm run grab -- [options]
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
-s, --site <name> Name of the site to parse
|
||||
-c, --channels <path> Path to *.channels.xml file (required if the "--site" attribute is
|
||||
not specified)
|
||||
-o, --output <path> Path to output file (default: "guide.xml")
|
||||
-l, --lang <code> Filter channels by language (ISO 639-2 code)
|
||||
-t, --timeout <milliseconds> Override the default timeout for each request
|
||||
--days <days> Override the number of days for which the program will be loaded
|
||||
(defaults to the value from the site config)
|
||||
--maxConnections <number> Limit on the number of concurrent requests (default: 1)
|
||||
--cron <expression> Schedule a script run (example: "0 0 * * *")
|
||||
--gzip Create a compressed version of the guide as well (default: false)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To override the number of days for which the program will be loaded use the `--days` argument (the default is the value specified in the site config):
|
||||
### Access the guide by URL
|
||||
|
||||
You can make the guide available via URL by running your own server:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run grab -- --site=example.com --days=3
|
||||
npm run serve
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To also create a compressed version of the guide, add the `--gzip` flag:
|
||||
After that, the guide will be available at the link:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://localhost:3000/guide.xml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In addition it will be available to other devices on the same local network at the address:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://<your_local_ip_address>:3000/guide.xml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parallel downloading
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the guide for each channel is downloaded one by one, but you can change this behavior by increasing the number of simultaneous requests using the `--maxConnections` attribute:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run grab -- --site=example.com --gzip
|
||||
npm run grab -- --site=example.com --maxConnections=10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After the download is completed in the current directory will appear a new folder `guides`, which will store all XML files:
|
||||
But be aware that under heavy load, some sites may start return an error or completely block your access.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use custom channel list
|
||||
|
||||
Create an XML file and copy the descriptions of all the channels you need from the [/sites](sites) into it:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
||||
<channels>
|
||||
<channel site="arirang.com" lang="en" xmltv_id="ArirangTV.kr" site_id="CH_K">Arirang TV</channel>
|
||||
...
|
||||
</channels>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And then specify the path to that file via the `--channels` attribute:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
guides
|
||||
└── fr
|
||||
└── example.com.xml
|
||||
└── example.com.xml.gz
|
||||
npm run grab -- --channels=path/to/custom.channels.xml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Run on schedule
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to download the guide automatically on a schedule, you need to pass a valid [cron expression](https://crontab.guru/) to the script using the `--cron` attribute:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run grab -- --site=example.com --cron="0 0 * * *"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also you can make these guides available via URL by running your own server:
|
||||
## Update
|
||||
|
||||
If you have downloaded the repository code according to the instructions above, then to update it will be enough to run the command:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run serve
|
||||
git pull
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that all the downloaded guides will be available at a link like this:
|
||||
And then update all the dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://localhost:3000/guides/fr/example.com.xml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, they will be available on your local network at:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://<your_local_ip_address>:3000/guides/fr/example.com.xml
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
