VidSrc Streamer

Overview

VidSrc Streamer is a Python application designed to simplify the process of fetching direct stream URLs for movies based on IMDb IDs from the VidSrc website. Additionally, it offers a convenient script for generating IPTV playlists, compatible with IPTV players, VLC, and other similar media players.

Components

This project comprises two primary components:

1. m3u8parser.py: This script acts as the core streaming component. Users can access it through a web API to retrieve direct stream URLs for movies and series. To stream content, simply use the following URL format:

   http://localhost:8000/stream/<imdb_id>
   

   Replace <imdb_id> with the IMDb ID of the movie you wish to stream on VLC Player. The script also supports caching links in an SQLite3 database for quicker retrieval.

2. playlistcreator.py: This script facilitates the creation of IPTV playlists (playlist.m3u8 files) containing movie details. These playlists can be seamlessly utilized with IPTV players or VLC Player. To generate a playlist, follow these steps:

   • Create a file named imdb_id.txt containing one IMDb or TMDB ID per line.

   • Execute the script using Python:

     python playlistcreator.py

   The script will generate a playlist.m3u8 file with movie details and URLs that are compatible with IPTV players.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/habitual69/VidSrc-Streamer.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd VidSrc-Streamer

3. Install the required Python libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Using m3u8parser.py

To stream a movie using VLC Player, use the following URL format:

http://localhost:8000/stream/<imdb_id>

Replace <imdb_id> with the IMDb ID of the movie you want to stream. The script will fetch the direct stream URL from the VidSrc website.

Using playlistcreator.py

To generate an IPTV playlist (playlist.m3u8) with movie details for use with IPTV players:

1. Create a file named imdb_id.txt in the project directory. Each line should contain one IMDb or TMDB ID for the movies or series you want to include in the playlist.

   Example imdb_id.txt contents:

   tt0111161
   tt0068646
   tt0468569
   tt0071562
   

2. Run the script:

   python playlistcreator.py

   The script will create a playlist.m3u8 file with movie details and URLs that can be used with IPTV players.

Docker Support

To run VidSrc Streamer in a Docker container, follow these steps:

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t vidsrc-streamer .

2. Create a Docker container from the image:

   docker run -d -p 8000:8000 vidsrc-streamer

Now, you can access VidSrc Streamer at http://localhost:8000/stream/<imdb_id>.
