Setup

Options for making an IPTV playlist:

• Setup an aceproxy server, which can make an M3U with a ton of free channels;
• Make your own (annotated) M3U playlist.

This software expects the tvg-name annotation in playlist, which looks like this:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="Foobar_TV",Foobar TV

Copy config.conf.example to config.conf, and configure everything to your liking.

When it's all done, start with bash launch.sh.
