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.

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.
