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 and 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 and 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. +The main objective of this script is to create a single, filtered EPG file that contains only the channels specified in +tvg-ids.txt.
