M3U Category Matcher

Do you have IPTV provider who doesn't add groups to channels, but uses channel names for it? This script will attach "channel-like" categories to channels under them. Example:

You have these 5 channels:

  1. ### GENERAL ###
  2. TV1 HD
  3. TV2 HD
  4. ### MUSIC ###
  5. METAL LIVE TV HD

For example, if you provided \#\#\# (.*) \#\#\# regex: This script will remove channel with no. 1. and 5., then attach categories:

  • GENERAL (matched group from regex!) to channels 2, 3,
  • MUSIC to channel 5.

NOTE!

This script is in BETA phase. Please report any bugs!

Based on

  • argparse
  • pathlib
  • re
  • ipytv

Usage

python3 <path-to-script> -i "<m3u path>" -r "<regex to match>" (-v)

Result

When everything is done, file is OVERWRITTEN!

Available parameters

  • -i/--input - absolute path to m3u+ file
