YouTube to M3U8
M3U8 Generator For YouTube
- Updated m3u8 links of YouTube live channel, auto-updated every 3 hours.
How to get started?
1. Create a file.
channel-name.txt
~~ DO NOT EDIT THE FIRST 2 LINES
~~ FORMAT: <channel name> | <group name> | <logo> | <tvg-id>
channel-name | | |
Paste here the URL you copied from the live youtube channel.
2. Generate Python for "channel-name.txt".
scripts/channel-name.py
#! /usr/bin/python3
import requests
import os
import sys
windows = False
if 'win' in sys.platform:
windows = True
def grab(url):
response = s.get(url, timeout=15).text
if '.m3u8' not in response:
response = requests.get(url).text
if '.m3u8' not in response:
if windows:
print('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user-name/repo-name/main/assets/info.m3u8')
return
#os.system(f'wget {url} -O temp.txt')
os.system(f'curl "{url}" > temp.txt')
response = ''.join(open('temp.txt').readlines())
if '.m3u8' not in response:
print('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user-name/repo-name/main/assets/info.m3u8')
return
end = response.find('.m3u8') + 5
tuner = 100
while True:
if 'https://' in response[end-tuner : end]:
link = response[end-tuner : end]
start = link.find('https://')
end = link.find('.m3u8') + 5
break
else:
tuner += 5
streams = s.get(link[start:end]).text.split('#EXT')
hd = streams[-1].strip()
st = hd.find('http')
print(hd[st:].strip())
#print(f"{link[start : end]}")
print('#EXTM3U')
print('#EXT-X-VERSION:3')
print('#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=2560000')
s = requests.Session()
with open('../channel-name.txt') as f:
for line in f:
line = line.strip()
if not line or line.startswith('~~'):
continue
if not line.startswith('https:'):
line = line.split('|')
ch_name = line[0].strip()
grp_title = line[1].strip().title()
tvg_logo = line[2].strip()
tvg_id = line[3].strip()
else:
grab(line)
if 'temp.txt' in os.listdir():
os.system('rm temp.txt')
os.system('rm watch*')
Re-edit : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user-name/repo-name/main/assets/info.m3u8
and ../channel-name.txt
3. Add an error video (This happens if the youtube channel doesn't work at all).
assets/info.m3u8
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10.000000,
staytuned0.ts
#EXTINF:10.000000,
staytuned1.ts
#EXT-X-ENDLIST
Download this short video and upload it to the "assets" folder and place it together with the info.m3u8
file. For example here
Click the link :
4. Create a Shell script file to install "channel-name.py" and auto generate a new file "channel-name.m3u8".
channel-name.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo $(dirname $0)
python3 -m pip install requests
cd $(dirname $0)/scripts/
python3 channel-name.py > ../channel-name.m3u8
echo m3u8 grabbed
Re-edit : channel-name.py
and ../channel-name.m3u8
5. Run the workflows on "Github Actions".
channel-name.yml
--> Go to the Actions section --> click New then select set up a workflow yourself --> the last one create the name channel-name.yml
and copy paste the script file below.
# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions
name: channel-name
# Controls when the action will run.
on:
schedule:
- cron: '0 0/3 * * *'
pull_request:
branches:
- main
# Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
workflow_dispatch:
# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs:
# This workflow contains a single job called "build"
build:
# The type of runner that the job will run on
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
# Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
steps:
# Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
# Runs a single command using the runners shell
#- name: Run a one-line script
# run: echo testing!
# Runs a set of commands using the runners shell
- name: config
run: |
git pull
git config --global user.email "your.email@gmail.com"
git config --global user.name "your-name"
- name: Main
run: |
pwd
chmod +x channel-name.sh
./channel-name.sh
- name: git add
run: |
git add -A
ls -la
- name: commit & push
run: |
git commit -m "Link updated"
git push
Re-edit : channel-name
in the first part of the second line. your.email@gmail.com
and your-name
. Under it channel-name.sh
and ./channel-name.sh
You Are Done!
Now you can wait until the Actions generates itself in 3 hours on the workflows or you can create your own test.
Like this : --> Go to the Actions section --> click Select workflow click on the name of the workflow file you just created. --> Next below you will find the button Run workflow click that button --> finally click the green button "Run workflow".
After that you wait in 2-3 seconds and refresh the page, you will see it working manually from yourself.
Action works
Workflow run results
This is a success :
This is a failure :
