Can it work without an .m3u? #3

My provider only provides me with xtream api codes, and those appear to be speedier than m3u. This project supports xtream, but requires an m3u file / URL. Can it also work without?

Hi,

You should be able to get the m3u from the xstream api in that case, for example: provider.com/get.php?username=username&password=password&type=m3u_plus&output=m3u8 or provider.com/get.php?username=username&password=password&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

That works, yes, but it seems pretty slow to fetch all the time. Why is accessing the xstream portal not sufficient? It contains the same data, but is called on demand

If I remember correctly the reason is that the group id's are needed in advance too filter the xtream metadata when those requests occur. Since those request are both filtered and the URL's within proxied.

There probably are room for improvements in how that is handled tough.
