## Installation
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 navigate to the downloaded `epg` folder:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd epg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And install all the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And once the download is complete, the guide will be saved to the `guide.xml` file.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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
|
|
-d, --delay <milliseconds> Override the default delay between 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)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Access the guide by URL
|
|
|
|
You can make the guide available via URL by running your own server:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm run serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 --maxConnections=10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
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 * * *"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
git pull
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then update all the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
