m3u parser, allow to define custom parsing rules #269

Open FezVrasta opened 7 years ago

FezVrasta commented 7 years ago

Right now I have a small now.sh app that fetches the URL my IPTV provider gives me, reads the info, and, in my case, moves the group name from the title to the GROUP field, and returns and edited M3U playlist.

I think it would be awesome to allow to define a script (~LUA? JS? Perl? anything?~ sl4a?) that takes the parsed M3U playlist (JSON format) and outputs a modified JSON playlist directly inside the playlist plugin.

Do you think is this something you would merge in the app? If so I think I would like to try to work on it.

Ideally users shouldn't have to worry about the JSON. It should just be an internal structure I use.

But I can see value in having user-defined parsing. I'm just not sure the best way to do it, whether in the app or through a web service on the website.

I would like it to be local (trough a custom script) because it reduces the latency. But even a web service always on would be good I guess.. except for providers that check from where you connect and block you to avoid account sharing probably 🤔

The web service should be maintained and paid by someone tho.

Fleker commented 7 years ago

Local support would require some way to execute user scripts on device.

Yes that's why I linked to sl4a, it allows to run scripts from Android, I think it is what we need.

If you can take the lead on implementation that would be great.

I'll try to work on it this weekend!

Do you have any indications on how to proceed? Preferences? Anything?

Fleker commented 7 years ago

I have a couple of test streams that I use to test the parser. I'd recommend having some unit tests that can verify functionality.

Sorry I just tried to run the project but looks like Android Studio can't work if I have Docker installed... I'm very sorry but I'm not able to help 😥
