Library to parse and generate m3u or m3u8 IPTV playlist files.
npm install m3u-parser-generator --save
You can parse your loaded m3u string:
import {M3uParser} from 'm3u-parser-generator';
const playlist = M3uParser.parse(m3uString);
playlist.medias.forEach(media => media.location);and you get object with following structure
{
"title": "Test TV",
"medias": [
{
"location": "http://iptv.test1.com/playlist.m3u8",
"duration": -1,
"attributes": {
"tvg-id": "Test tv 1",
"tvg-country": "CZ",
"tvg-language": "CS",
"tvg-logo": "logo1.png",
"group-title": "Test1",
"unknown": "0"
},
"name": "Test tv 1 [CZ]",
"group": "Test TV group 1"
},
{
"location": "http://iptv.test2.com/playlist.m3u8",
"duration": 100,
"attributes": {
"tvg-id": "Test tv 2",
"tvg-country": "SK",
"tvg-language": "SK",
"tvg-logo": "logo2.png",
"group-title": "Test2"
},
"name": "Test tv 2 [SK]",
"group": "Test TV group 2"
},
{
"location": "http://iptv.test3.com/playlist.m3u8",
"duration": 120,
"attributes": {
"tvg-id": "Test tv 3",
"tvg-country": "EN",
"tvg-language": "EN",
"tvg-logo": "logo3.png",
"group-title": "Test3"
},
"name": "Test tv 3 [EN]"
},
{
"location": "http://iptv.test4.com/playlist.m3u8",
"duration": -1,
"attributes": {}
}
]
}Or you can generate new playlist by your own:
import {M3uPlaylist, M3uMedia} from 'm3u-parser-generator';
const playlist = new M3uPlaylist();
playlist.title = 'Test playlist';
const media1 = new M3uMedia('http://my-stream-ulr.com/playlist.m3u8');
media1.attributes = {'tvg-id': '5', 'tvg-language': 'EN', 'unknown': 'my custom attribute'};
media1.duration = 500;
media1.name = 'Test Channel';
media1.group = 'Test Group';
playlist.medias.push(media1);
const m3uString = playlist.getM3uString();you get
#EXTM3U
#PLAYLIST:Test playlist
#EXTINF:500 tvg-id="5" tvg-language="EN" unknown="my custom attribute",Test Channel
#EXTGRP:Test Group
http://my-stream-ulr.com/playlist.m3u8
