The getEpgs.py processes multiple Electronic Program Guide (EPG) files and creates a consolidated EPG, limiting the content
to only those channels specified in a tvg-ids.txt file. It fetches EPG files from given URLs, extracts their contents, filters
them based on the allowed TVG IDs, and saves the result in a single EPG XML file (epg.xml).
Key Steps:
Fetching EPG Files: The script downloads EPG files from specified URLs. It can handle both regular XML files and
compressed .gz files, decompressing them if necessary.
Reading Allowed TVG IDs: It reads a list of allowed TVG IDs from a file named tvg-ids.txt. Only channels and programs with
matching TVG IDs will be included in the final EPG.
Filtering Channels and Programs: For each fetched EPG file, the script checks the <channel> and <programme> elements. It
only includes those that have a TVG ID present in the tvg-ids.txt file.
Building the Consolidated EPG: It combines all the filtered <channel> and <programme> elements from the different EPG
files into a single EPG XML structure.
Saving the Final EPG: The consolidated EPG XML is saved as epg.xml, with proper encoding and XML declaration.
Purpose:
The main objective of this script is to create a single, filtered EPG file that contains only the channels specified in
tvg-ids.txt. By doing so, it reduces the EPG size and ensures that only relevant channels are included, improving efficiency
and loading times for IPTV applications that use the generated EPG.
