iptv-proxy

Simple Flask proxy app for m3u files. This should be used alongside a VPN container. If you don't have a VPN, then there's no point of using an m3u proxy. I recommend the bubuntux/nordvpn docker image to be run alongside this.

When the app first loads, it will prefix all URLs in the m3u file with the proxy endpoint. For example, see the lines below in a sample m3u file:

#EXTM3U url-tvg="http://url-to-epg.com/epg"
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="mlbnet.us" tvg-name="US MLB Network (S)" tvg-logo="" group-title="MLB",US MLB Network (S)
https://url-to-mlb-network-stream.com/stream/

Assuming you don't use nginx and bind to port 8080, this will be replaced to:

#EXTM3U url-tvg="http://your-local-ip-address:8080/proxy/data/http://url-to-epg.com/epg"
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="mlbnet.us" tvg-name="US MLB Network (S)" tvg-logo="" group-title="MLB",US MLB Network (S)
http://your-local-ip-address:8080/proxy/stream/https://url-to-mlb-network-stream.com/stream/

Then instead of pointing your IPTV player to the original m3u file, you will set up your IPTV player to point to:

http://your-local-ip-address:8080/static/iptv.m3u

This will route all IPTV traffic to go accross a VPN, which can be helpful if your TV doesn't support VPN configurations.

M3U Editor

To edit m3u files, I recommend m3u4u. After editing the m3u file, you can point the M3U_LOCATION variable to the m3u4u output URL.
