Allow Local M3U Files

[kp-emagine]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Unable to pass file://

Describe the solution you'd like Would like to be able to attach a volume to the container, and pass local m3u files to it for processing, for example:

• M3U_URL_1=file:///playlists/mine.m3u

Where /playlists is mapped locally

this feature would be awesome as well

I know nothing about GoLang... but... this may work in the downloadM3UToBuffer method

// add right above: // Download M3U for processing live
// if the url string contains file://
    if strings.Contains( m3uURL, "file://" ) {

        // try to open the file
        file, err := os.Open( m3uURL )
        if err != nil {
            return fmt.Errorf("OPEN FILE error: %v", err)
        }
        defer file.Close( )

        // read it in chunks
        for {
            bytesread, err := file.Read( buffer )

            if err != nil {
                if err != io.EOF {
                    return fmt.Errorf("END OF FILE: %v", err)
                }

                break
            }

        }

    }

I haven't released it yet. The dev build is accessible with the :dev image tag.

[kpirnie]

with :dev tag, for every stream

2024/08/20 08:34:03 Error retrieving stream for slug z-big-bang-theory: error getting URL data from Redis: WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value
2024/08/20 08:34:03 Received request from 192.168.2.20:57787 for URL: /stream/ei1iaWctYmFuZy10aGVvcnk=.m3u8

This isn't specific to *.m3u8 either... it happens for every stream in the the processed m3u

Tried hitting you up on Discord... attempting to help look into a couple things ;) (like the above), but can't get a local environment going... apparently WSL doesn't like Redis or something....
