# EPG
Utilities for downloading the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) for thousands of TV channels from hundreds of sources.
__IMPORTANT:__ We are no longer able to provide pre-made guides due to the disabling of GitHub Actions (Read more: https://github.com/orgs/iptv-org/discussions/12#discussioncomment-5219050). This repository now contains only utilities and configurations for downloading guides yourself.

## How to use?
To download the guide from one of the supported sites you must have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) installed on your computer first.
You will also need to install [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) to follow these instructions.
After installing them, you need to open the [Console](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Console) (or [Terminal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_(macOS)) if you have macOS) and type the following command:
```sh
git clone --depth 1 -b master https://github.com/iptv-org/epg.git
```
Then also through the Console navigate to the just downloaded `epg` folder:
```sh
cd epg
```
And install all the necessary dependencies:
```sh
npm install
```
Now choose one of the sources (their complete list can be found in the [/sites](https://github.com/iptv-org/epg/tree/master/sites) folder) and start downloading the guide using the command:
```sh
npm run grab example.com
```
After the download is completed in the current directory will appear a new folder `guides`, which will store all XML files:
```sh
guides
└── en
└── example.com.xml
```
Also you can make these guides available via URL by running your own server:
```sh
npm run serve
```
After that all the downloaded guides will be available at a link like this:
```
http://localhost:3000/guides/en/example.com.xml
```
In addition, they will be available on your local network at:
```
http://<your_local_ip_address>:3000/guides/en/example.com.xml
```
