PlexIPTV

This app simulate a DVR device for Plex by providing a layer to any IPTV provider (that provide a m3u8 playlist).

I created that app for several reaons:

• Other existing projects where too much complexe for my use (tvhProxy: https://github.com/jkaberg/tvhProxy)
• Not enougth flexible for my use (telly: https://github.com/tombowditch/telly)
• None of the existing projects where pulling a remote playlist

What it does?

It does:

• pull remote m3u8 file to a local file
• if remote file isn't accessible it will fallback to the local file
• settings can help to filter play list and remap the channels
• proxy the IPTV stream so only the server will be seen as the "user"
• allow multiple concurent views into the same channel even if the provider block it
