iptv-cli

iptv-cli is a command line tool to parse, filter iptv lists (m3u/m3u8 files).

Install

npm install -g iptv-cli

Usage

You can start by generating an allowed-categories.js file from your iptv list:

iptv-cli get-categories --from-file iptv-list.m3u
> File has been created: allowed-categories.js

Now you have a list of categories in allowed-categories.js file. You can edit it to filter out the categories that you don't want to see. After editing that file, use it as an argument in filter command:

iptv-cli filter --from-file iptv-list.m3u --allowed-categories allowed-categories.js --out new.m3u
> File has been created: new.m3u

Enjoy your filtered new.m3u file. You can use your favorite IpTv client to watch your channels!

Tip: If you also want to filter by channel ids, you can add another argument. See Commands section below.

Commands

iptv-cli [command] <options>
  filter ............. generate an iptv list filtered by at least one allowed-*.js file
  get-categories ..... generate categories file (allowed-categories.js) from an iptv list file

Error on getting categories

Hi, brand new install and attempting to parse a local m3u file is giving me the following error when getting categories:

                                         ^

An idea what's going wrong? Thanks.

--allowed-categories not detected

Hi,

Brand new install, of npm, then of your scripts; seems very promising, but even copying the basic examples you document, it does not detect the --allowed-categories in filter mode and complains that at least one argument is required.

I would say this is to blame (in the filter command):
if (!args['allowed-channels'] && !args['allowed-channels']) {
console.error(Error: Missing arguments. At least one allowed argument must be used.);
return;
}
