PlutoIPTV

Grab EPG & M3U from Pluto.tv

Based on https://github.com/TylerB260/PlutoXML

Usage

Run

$ npx pluto-iptv

This will create an epg.xml file and a playlist.m3u file

Filtering for favorites

If you don't want all channels from pluto, you can create a "favorites" file: pluto-favorites. In this file, one per line, you can list "slugs" of channels and only those channels will be downloaded. You can add comments by starting the line with #.

Example:

# Nostalgia
80s-rewind
90s-throwback
after-school-cartoons

# Music
vevo-80s
vevo-90s
vevo-pop

# News
black-news-channel
cbsn-2
nbc-news-now
pluto-tv-news

plutoiptv's Issues

PlutoTV Latin America

Hello everyone! I do not intend to bother you... I just can't find any available PlutoTV m3u playlist(s) with latin american (mexican) content (channels)... I have no clue how could i ever get them in order for me to see them on any iptv app.

I've found this "all region" playlist but lacks LATAM (latin american channels)
PlutoTV: https://i.mjh.nz/PlutoTV/all.m3u8

Thank you !

creating the EPG and M3U in a different folder than the script itself?

Is it possible to have this script save the epg and m3u to a different folder? I'm having a huge permissions headache.

please add support for getting roku channels

Please can someone add support for getting Roku Channels as well?

Comedy category conflicts with my other iptv filters in xteve

the Comedy category conflicts with my other iptv filters in xteve.

my other IPTV also has a category called Comedy which has over 12000 channels. i can not add 12000 channels to a filter in xteve or xteve will crash.

when you get some time, can you please give all pluto tv categories their own uniquely named categories?

Enable getting more than 12 hours of data

Pluto has more data on the servers but limits how much one request can recieve to 12 hours.

We could loop through 12 hour blocks to get all the data.

its only grabbing 8 channels now all of a sudden

at first i was able to grab all of the channels without a favourites file but now all of a sudden it only grabs 8 channels. i still have not added a faurites file. is there some sort of cooldown period?

i have also tried deleting the cache file but that didnt fix it.

No channel download if not in a supported country... (not an issue, but tip)

Just for everybody also interesting in using this great tool. I was able to run this on a raspberry PI but my files were empty. Considering my location, I created an openvpn tunnel to the US and that solved my issue.

Still wondering moving around in the US gives me additional channels... No clue yet.

Thanks anyway for this util!

is there a command for generating a playlist with serverSideAds=false

is there a command for generating a playlist with serverSideAds=false?
currently i have to manually edit the playist with that parameter. I would like to be able to run a command like this
npx pluto-iptv --serverSideAds=false

please add the feature for a custom favorites list in the python script

is this the issues section for this? https://github.com/zang74/PlutoIPTV-for-TVH

i would like a feature for adding a custom favorites list added to this project https://github.com/zang74/PlutoIPTV-for-TVH
similar to this project https://github.com/evoactivity/PlutoIPTV.

currently this project https://github.com/evoactivity/PlutoIPTV only pulls 8 hours of epg even though i have edited the script to be 48 hours. so that is why i need to use this python project https://github.com/zang74/PlutoIPTV-for-TVH but it has no favorites list

only grabs 8 hours

tried to change it to grab 24 hours but its not working.

waht needs to be changed so it grabs 24 hours so that it can be added to a daily cron (nextpvr only grabs once a day the epg's)
