SmoothStreams Playlist Generator

About

This python script will generate a .m3u playlist that contains streams for all channels. At runtime the user declares what information should be used to generate the stream links (server, protocol, quality, etc). The generated playlist also feature tags that allows it to be used along with the SmoothStreams XMLTV feed in the 'PVR IPTV Simple Client' Kodi PVR client.

Usage

First install the required dependencies through pip: pip install -r requirements

View the help to see the switches. The 'site' 'optional argument' is actually required. python generate.py -h

Example

Generate a fully functional playlist that you can 'plug and play' python generate.py -site live247 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -q hd -sv d71 --time-shift 7

Generate a playlist without specifying a username and password. This can be used in the case of generating a playlist for another user and allows one to manually find and replace REPLACE_ID and REPLACE_PASS with their user id and hashed password python generate.py -site live247 -q hd -sv d71 --time-shift 7 Stream URLs look like: rtmp://d77.smoothstreams.tv:2935/view/ch50q1.stream?u=REPLACE_ID&p=REPLACE_PASS

usage: generate.py [-h] -s {live247,mystreams,starstreams,mma-tv} -u USERNAME
                   -p PASSWORD [-pr {rtmp,hls}] [-q {hd,sd}]
                   [-sv {dEU,d77,d11,d71,dNA,dNAe,dNAw,dSG}] [-t TIME_SHIFT]
                   [file]
