This is a proxy that will download and modify the channels list returned by TvHeadend (https://tvheadend.org/)
The channel list for tvheadend contains tickets that expire after 300 seconds; This causes problems if you are using xteve (https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe) to serve your channels to Plex.
This proxy will modify the channels in the m3u list so that they are in this format instead
