# TV7-Playlist

## Summary

This little application is used to rewrite the TV7 multicast channel list by fiber7 m3u.
The updated list will proxy the multicast stream through udpxy and builds a stream that plex can handle.

Others have changed the code in telly. As I did not want to change any external source, I just
wrote this little application.

There are more features than just changing the URL:

- Resorting of the channel list
- Enable or disable a channel
- Enable or disable multiple channels at once
- Override the channel number -> better EPG Detection support in plex / emby
- Override the channel name -> better EPG Detection support in plex / emby

## Possible breaking change of .net core 3.1.1 upgrade

Something changed within the entity framework driver for SqLite. A guid is now stored as a text and not blob anymore.
With the wrong datatype, you will get an error if you try to update a record.
The latest version of this application has a migration built in that should convert the blobs to the values as text.
The migrations are applied automatically.

**Backup your database before starting the new version**

A workaround might be clearing your database and rebuilding it by syncing the latest playlist from init7. 

## Docker

### Run the application

You may run this application using docker. If you want to persist the database when doing some updates, create a volume and use this as data storage.

```shell
docker volume create tv7playlist_data
```

Next you have to create and run the docker container.

```shell
docker run -t --name="tv7playlist" -p 8000:80 -e "UdpxyUrl=http://your.host.ip.of.udpxy:4022/udp" -v tv7playlist_data:/data --restart=unless-stopped phaefelfinger/tv7playlist:latest
```
