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.
