Sending the following form data to https://jiotvapi.media.jio.com/playback/apis/v1/geturl?langId=6 will give stream information of catchup. It needs most of the data from EPG

channel_id: channelID
stream_type: "Catchup"
begin: epg_data.startEpoch
end: epg_data.endEpoch
srno, epg_data.srno
programId, epg_data.showId
showtime: epg_data.showtime

Rest streaming can use the same logic written in https://github.com/rabilrbl/jiotv_go/blob/65effc34c068b11e7e127d3e34c0c543a5ca0607/pkg/television/television.go#L72 I don't know golang hence cannot implement this big change 😓

@PlessioTihsrah Man this is great! Never thought about it. Will test this and implement ASAP

rabilrbl commented 3 weeks ago

@PlessioTihsrah I though this will give us whole days catchup with just a single m3u8 file. Is it possible? Otherwise I have to build new components for which I don't have time

PlessioTihsrah commented 3 weeks ago

@rabilrbl For the current m3u8 playlist, if you add some keys catchup-days, catchup, catchup-source, then IPTV player automatically sends the params for stream (tried only with tivimate for now). For example

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id=143 tvg-name="CNBC Tv18 Prime HD" tvg-logo="http://localhost:5001/jtvimage/CNBC_Tv18_Prime_HD.png" tvg-language="English" tvg-type="Business" group-title="Business" catchup-days="1" catchup="auto" catchup-source="http://localhost:5001/catchup/143?start=${start}&end=${end}", CNBC Tv18 Prime HD

For the above EXT, tivimate sends the request as GET /catchup/143 Params:[start=1717846200&end=1717848000] If have a route for /catchup/:channel_id which does the following then catchup should be possible

Evaluate how many days we need to goto past by start param (need to convert it to IST)
Send request to jio servers for EPG for the channel for the given date
Parse the response and find the show where start and end coincide
Request the m3u8 file from https://jiotvapi.media.jio.com/playback/apis/v1/geturl?langId=6 as in above comment and send it to client

It requires a considerable amount of time to implement this. Anyway will checkout more on this in the weekend if there is a better way
