web2tv

This project contains python scripts which load and parse tv guide information and return the information in xml format (http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVFormat) (https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/blob/master/xmltv.dtd). You can then use the xml in various other programs such as xTeVe (https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe) or other iptv clients that allow epg in xml format.

Additionally there are scripts which generate m3u lists as well as some helper scripts.

EPG Generation

• plex.tv (plex.py)
• pluto.tv (plutotv.py)

M3U Generation

• NextPVR (nextpvr.py)
• plex.tv (plex.py)
• pluto.tv (plutotv.py)
• m3u (convert m3u for use with Streamlink)

Helper Scripts

• Plex DVR (update_plexDVR.py)

All scripts were tested using Python 3.8
