[Release] Australia IPTV & EPG Files

Nightly updated IPTV files for Australian TV & Radio for 8 regions.

Regions

Click on a region to get a list of channels & radio stations.

Simply replace [REGION] in the URLs below with your region name from above.

Raw

These m3us files are made to be used with any device / program that does not have it's own files below.
They don't pipe any streams and don't add any extra headers etc.
Therefore, a lot of streams may not work.

  • TV: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/raw-tv.m3u8
  • Radio: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/raw-radio.m3u8
  • TV & Radio: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/raw.m3u8

KODI

These m3u8 files are made to be used with KODI and IPTV Simple Client add-on.
They are very similar to the raw files, except they add a few extra sometimes required headers.

  • TV: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/kodi-tv.m3u8
  • Radio: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/kodi-radio.m3u8
  • TV & Radio: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/kodi.m3u8

TvHeadend

These m3u8 files are made to be imported into Tvheadend as an IPTV Automatic Network.
All the streams are piped to ffmpeg to re-container them as MPEG-TS.

Therefore, they require ffmpeg to be installed on the system running Tvheadend and that it's path is /usr/bin/ffmpeg (symlink if different).


If you don't have ffmpeg, you could try using the above RAW files instead - but you may find quite a few streams will not work without being piped through ffmpeg. I suggest a google for "how to install ffmpeg on XX". The steps are usually pretty easy :)
  • TV: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/tvh-tv.m3u8
  • Radio: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/tvh-radio.m3u8
  • TV & Radio: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/tvh.m3u8

JSON

These files simply contain the stream information in a nice JSON formatted file.
They are used by my AU Freeview& AU Radio KODI Add-ons.

  • TV: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/tv.json
  • Radio: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/radio.json

EPG

All above files use my unique channel identifications.
This allows them to work with my below EPG files.
These are full 7 day EPG files for all Freeview channels.

  • XML: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/epg.xml
  • GZIP: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/epg.xml.gz
  • EPG Grabber: http://iptv.matthuisman.nz/au/[REGION]/tv_grab_au

More Info

Still in early days with more channels to come!
The above URLS may also change, so come back here if your lists stop working.

All streams are scraped and checked nightly for maximum reliability.

You can view all the generated files on my Github HERE.
All above links simply redirect to the Github files.

I am automatically notified of any failed streams.
It is best to pull the files on or after 2:00 am Perth Time (as they are generated around 1:30am).

If you find yourself using any of these files, please consider shouting me a coffee.

Enjoy!

[How to] Add the new HD Māori TV MUX into TvHeadend

August 15, 2017, 8:18 pm
$

Here is a quick how-to for adding the new Māori TV MUX into an existing TvHeadend server.
This will give you Māori TV and Te Reo channels in 1080P.

These channels might not yet be live where you are.
I have tested them working here in Christchurch.

It assumes you have the other MUX's scanned in and have existing Māori TV and Te Reo mapped to channels.

Step 1

First you need to find the new MUX frequency. You can find this by visiting THIS LINK.


Find your transmitters location in the left column, then move across to the cell containing "MTS".
Follow this column to the top to find the frequency.
+4 to the left frequency and this will be the frequency you use in TvHeadend (it should be 610 or 618).

Step 2

Navigate to the TvHeadend -> Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Muxes page.
Click Add.
Select your existing DVB Network (eg. Freeview).

Set the frequency to the frequency from above, followed by 000000 (6x zeros).
Set the bandwidth to 8MHz.

Select Create.


Wait for the new MUX to scan in and you should get a result of OK with 4 services.

Step 3

Navigate to the Services tab.
You should find the 4x new services listed.
Here in Christchurch, I had 2x services with "Test Service X" and 2x services without names.

Click the Play icon to play the service so you can find what channel it is.


Once you know what channel the service is, click "Edit".
Set the Channel to the correct channel from the drop-drown.
Set Priority to 1.
Click Save.
Do this for both channels.


Step 4

Now navigate to the Channel / EPG -> Channels tab.
Here you can now change the channels tags to HDTV (optional).


You will notice the channels each have 2x services listed.
As we set the priority to 1x on the new services, TvHeadend will first try to use them.
If they for some reason fail, it will fallback to the old services.

So, say you only had 1x tuner.
Someone is watching Prime and you try to watch Te Reo.
The tuner would already be tuned to 594MHz and unable to tune to 610MHz.
Therefore, TvHeadend will fallback and use the 594MHz for Te Reo.

Priority is very handy.
You will see I have IPTV streams as fallback for some of the other channels.
You can have as many services mapped to a single channel as you like.

Enjoy!

Here is some quick combined NZ & Australian (Sydney) files.
I chose Sydney so the EPG files will also work with Apsattv's playlist.

You can view all the included Sydney channels HERE
and all the included NZ channels HERE.

Below are the different types of files that are automatically generated.

Raw

These m3us files are made to be used with any device / program that does not have it's own files below.
They don't pipe any streams and don't add any extra headers etc.
Due to this, some streams (eg. ABC) most likely won't work.

KODI

These m3u8 files are made to be used with KODI and IPTV Simple Client add-on.
They are very similar to the raw files, except they add a X_FORWARD header for all streams.

TvHeadend

These m3u8 files are made to be imported into Tvheadend as an IPTV Automatic Network.
All the streams are piped to ffmpeg to re-container them as MPEG-TS.


Therefore, they require ffmpeg to be installed on the system running Tvheadend and that it's path is /usr/bin/ffmpeg (symlink if different).

If you don't have ffmpeg, you could try using the above RAW files instead - but you may find quite a few streams will not work without being piped through ffmpeg. I suggest a google for "how to install ffmpeg on XX". The steps are usually pretty easy.

    EPG

    All above files use my unique channel identifications.
    This allows them to work with my below EPG files.
    These are full 7 day EPG files for all Freeview channels.

    All streams are scraped hourly and checked nightly for maximum reliability.
    Where possible, the providers API's are used to scrape the stream URL's which will help reduce risk of outdated streams.
    I am automatically notified of any failed streams.

    You can view all the generated files on my Github HERE.

    How-to Install

    First follow THIS post to install my KODI Add-on Repository.

    Now navigate to "Main Menu -> Add-ons -> My Add-ons"
    Select ".." then select "Install from repository"
    Select "MattHuisman.nz Repository".
    Select "Video add-ons" then "RugbyPass"

    Select "Install" and the add-on will download and install.


    You can now access the add-on under the Add-ons section.


    Click into the add-on and you can now navigate to your favorite rugby games.


    Simply now click a game to play it!

    You can view the condensed game via the context menu.
    And also view the score (if you have scores hidden via the settings).


    There are also a few handy add-on settings (read notes below).

    Notes

    1. RugbyPass.com subscription required to play games
    2. Subscription not required to browse games
    3. You need to be located in their supported countries (or be using a smart DNS service)
      (Otherwise you will get a "GEO Restricted" error.)
    4. Live games are not yet implemented
      This is due to me making this over the last few nights and games are in weekends.
    5. Default play action is the full game. You can use the context menu to view the condensed game.
    6. There is an experiment option is the add-on settings that allows you set your smart DNS IP address.
      This saves the need to adjust the devices or routers DNS address.
      It may not work with your service, which in case just set your DNS as usual.
    7. By default, scores are hidden for all games. This can be changed in the add-on settings.
      You can set them to not show or show X hours after the game has finished.
      (Set this to 0 hours for them to always show.)
      You can also show a score for any played game via the context menu.
    8. I tested the add-on working in Windows and LibreELEC on RPI3
    9. All game times should be displayed in your local time

    [How to] Analyse an app's web traffic (Reverse Engineer)

    August 22, 2017, 11:19 pm
    $

    In this post I will show how to analyse / sniff most internet requests made by your phone and the apps on it.

    We will then reverse engineer these requests and replicate them in Python.
    This is a good start to writing your own software to interact with particular services without published API documentation.

    I will be using Windows 10 (to view the requests) and an Android phone.
    It should work on all other devices, but the steps to set the proxy on that device will differ slightly.
    I have suggested google search terms under each step for other devices.

    The software we will install on our PC is Betwixt (not Brexit)
    This will create a proxy on the PC which our phone will connect to.
    This will then show us all the requests the phone makes as they happen.

    There is other similar proxy software but I prefer Betwixt because:
    1. It's open-source & free
    2. Chrome Developer Tools UI
    3. Portable (doesn't require installation)
    4. It works

    Install Betwixt

    Visit their Github release page and download the latest release for your OS.
    Once it's downloaded, extract the archive to a location where you want it to live.
    Remember, it's portable - so there is no setup / installer.


    Once it's extracted, open the folder and run the Betwixt.exe file.
    The first time it runs, Windows firewall will ask to allow it access.
    Select "Allow Access".

    Betwixt is now ready to receive requests.

    Install SSL Cert

    To allow the phone to still make HTTPS calls, when need to install a SSL cert on the phone.

    In Betwixt, select Tools -> Root Certificate.
    This will open a directory with the required certificate ca.pem selected.
    Copy this file to somewhere handy (eg. Desktop).


    We need to copy this file onto the phone.
    There are a few ways to do this (email, cloud storage etc)
    I however will just do it via USB transfer.

    Plug the phone into the PCs USB port.
    On the phone, swipe down from the top and select "USB charging this device".
    Now select "Transfer Files"
    The phone is now accessible on the PC.
    Navigate into the phones "Internal shared storage" directory.
    Copy the ca.pem file from the computer to this directory on the phone.


    Once copied, navigate to Settings -> Security on the phone.
    Scroll down to the credential storage group and select "Install from SD card"


    Find and select the ca.pem file.
    It may now ask you to authorize yourself.

    Name the certificate "Betwixt".
    Set Credential use to VPN and apps,
    and then select OK.

    You should see a small message saying the cert has been installed.

    Not using Android?
    Try googling "How to install certificate on [device name]"

    Find IP Address

    We will need our PCs IP address to allow us to set the proxy on the phone.

    Right click on the network / Wi-Fi icon in the bottom right of your task bar.
    Then select "Open Network and Sharing Centre"


    Now click on the network name (Ethernet or WiFi).
    Then select "Details"
    Your local IP address is listed next to IPv4 Address.


    Make a note of this IP address as it is required below.

    Not using Windows?
    Try googling "How to find my IP address on [OS name]"

    Setup Proxy

    We now need to tell our phones WiFi to use our newly created proxy.

    Navigate to Settings -> Wi-Fi.
    Long press on your connected Wi-Fi network.
    Select "Modify network"

    Scroll down and set Proxy to "Manual".
    Set Proxy hostname to your PCs IP address
    Set Proxy port to 8008.
    Select SAVE.


    A side affect of the proxy is that Android will think your Wi-Fi does not have internet access.
    It then reverts to sending the data via the mobile network.
    Therefore, we need to disable Mobile data to force Android to use the Wi-Fi.

    Navigate to Settings -> Data usage.
    Disable "Mobile data" for your network.


    Your phone will now be sending all it's requests to our proxy (Betwixt) on the PC.

    Not using Android phone?
    Try googling "How to setup a proxy on [device name]"& 
                  "How to turn off mobile data on [device name]

    Recording the Requests

    If all has gone well, you should now start seeing requests from your phone in Betwixt.

    Open your phones browser and try visiting a view pages.
    You should see the corresponding requests show in Betwixt,


    We are now ready to reverse engineer an app.

    For this example, I will be reverse engineering the RugbyPass Android app.
    This is what I did to allow me to build my RugbyPass KODI Add-on.

    Their API will only return data to IP's located in their allowed regions.
    Therefore, you most likely won't be able to follow along with this particular example,
    but the process should be the same for any other apps.

    I want to retrieve the rugby games information shown when I open the app.


    First, click the crossed circle icon next to the record icon in Betwixt (this clears the log).
    Make sure it's recording (red record icon) and now open the app on your phone.

    Once the app has loaded the content you want, click the record icon to stop it recording new requests.
    We can now work with the requests without more coming in and changing the list.

    I quickly notice all the requests of interest to me are from 'watch.rugbypass.com'.
    So, I enter this in the filter to only show requests to this domain.


    When a request is selected, a new pane is shown with more details.
    We are interest in the response tab which shows us the returned data from the request.

    I go through each request until I find the response with the data I am looking for (rugby games).


    This is the request I want to replicate.
    Navigate to the "Headers" tab.
    Here we can view all the data sent to the server which we can replicate.


    Of interest to us is the Request URL, Request Method, Request Headers & Query String Parameters.
    As this is a GET request, the query string parameters are also appended to the request URL.

    Python Code

    Let's replicate this request in Python.

    We will first need to install the Python Requests library.
    This can be installed using pip

    pip install requests

    And here is the Python code showing the values I have copied from Betwixt.


    For GET queries, you can either have them appended to the URL, or pass a dictionary as a params argument like I have above.

    The only request headers I have replicated is the user-agent string.
    This is a header that tells the server what device you are.
    Some servers may ignore requests from other devices.

    As the data being returned is json, I can use the requests .json() function to get the JSON dictionary. If plain text is returned, just use response.text instead.

    There are also shorter methods in requests eg. requests.get() to do a GET request.
    Refer to the quick start guide to learn more.

    You can grab my simple Python Requests template code HERE.
    Fill it in with your own request details and start experimenting.

    Enjoy!

    [How to] Building a Smart Home IOT Network - Intro

    August 27, 2017, 9:32 pm
    $
    0
    0

    This is a new series of posts that will show you how to build a Smart Home network using open-source free software.

    There is no set time frame for each post
         - it all relies on my free time between work & other projects.

    Below is a summary of what each post will focus on.

    Main Node (IOT Wi-Fi Network)


    We will use a Raspberry Pi as our Main Node in our network.
    But any other device running Linux will also work.

    First we will setup an IOT only secure Wi-Fi network.
    We can either use the Pi's built-in Wi-Fi for this or for more range - a USB Wi-Fi adapter.

    The IOT Wi-Fi only network will use a max length randomly generated password.
    As all IOT devices will have the password stored in them, there is no reason the password needs to be short and easily typed.

    I will also show you how-to setup MAC authentication so we can only allow devices with certain MAC addresses to connect to it.

    This main node will then be connected to our main home network via ethernet.

    Estimated cost: $60 USD

    Main Node (Home Assistant)


    Once we have our Wi-Fi network, we can now install the main Smart Home Software.

    For this, I have chosen Home Assistant.
    Mainly because it's written in Python (easy to extend) and I like the look of the interface.

    Most other Smart Home software will also work with the other posts as long as they can work with MQTT (nearly all do).

    Estimated cost: $0 USD

    Child Node (RF Transmitter / Reciever)


    Of course, Home Assistant out of the box will communicate with a lot of existing smart devices.

    However, sometimes you may want to make an existing non smart device - smarter.

    Our first node we will be a RF 433MHz Transmitter / Receiver.

    It will be able to learn RF 433MHz commands and then repeat them.
    This will be used to control RF devices around the house (smart plugs etc).
    And also be used for receive data from the real-time power metre (below).

    You could also add an IR Transmitter and Receiver to control IR devices.

    Estimated Cost: $10 USD

    Child Node (Smart Garage)


    Our next child node will be a smart garage door opener.
    It will use a simple relay to trigger the door and also a reed switch so it knows the open / close state.

    It could also be used for anything that needs to be simply turned on / off.

    Estimated cost: $10 USD

    Child Node (Real-time Power Metre)


    Our final node will be a real-time power meter. 

    It will use a CT sensor at the mains box to read the current and then send this back to our Smart Hub. As it will run from battery, we will use RF for lower current draw compared to Wi-Fi. RF will also have better range. 

    CT sensors are non-invasive, meaning it simply clips over the main power cable and doesn't require cutting wires or any messing around with mains = bad idea.

    Estimated Cost: $10 USD

    Bonus for ElectricKiwi Users


    I will show you how-to make the software automatically update your free Power Hour each night to the hour with highest usage.

    This alone could pay for the entire system if like me you sometimes forget to set the hour for a day.
    Or, simply guess the hour wrong.

    If your about to switch to them, please use my Referral Link and we both get $50 off our bills.
    - All referrals are considered extra large coffee donations :)

    I also have an ElectricKiwi Android App that may help in the mean-time.
    It allows you to easily switch power hours and even schedule hours for different days.

    Estimated Cost: $0 USD

    User Access


    Lastly we will explore our options for communicating with Home Assistant.

    They have various smart phone apps etc, but we will look into how we can securely use these over the internet so we can control our Smart Home from anywhere in the world.

    Estimated cost: $0 USD

    He removes the rubber tips and then using a pin or tweezers removes the mesh.

    This is what is causing the issue.
    The mesh has become clogged with ear wax - ewwww.

    You can then try to clean the mesh, or as I did remove it completely.

    For the last 12 months, my earphones have been running perfectly without the mesh.
    I simply remove the tips and clean the earphones every couple of weeks.

    So, don't throw them out - just clean or remove the mesh!

    Stream Joshua v Parker Fight (Legally) for Cheap!

    Step 1)
    First, you will need a VPN (the only bit that will cost).
    This VPN will need to have USA servers (all good ones should).

    I recommend PIA (Private Internet Access)
    You can get a months access for $6.95 USD (approx $10 NZ).
    Or, sign-up for longer if you plan on using in the future!

    Once signed up, download the app for your device.
    Run the app, sign in and select a server in the USA.


    Step 2)
    Once connected, go to the Showtime website and sign-up for the free 7 day trial.
    You will need a credit card to sign-up, but they do accept non-us credit cards (yah!).
    The card won't be charged until the 7-day trial ends.

    Step 3)
    That's it really.
    They will stream the Joshua Parker fight live Sunday morning at 9:00am NZ time on Showtime East.


    You can watch on your Deskptop (which allows casting).
    Or, you can download the apps for your favorite device.
    You will need to install the VPN app on these devices as well as their app won't work unless your VPN is connected.

    Note: 
    Playstore wouldn't let me download the Android app due to wrong region.
    I simply googled for the direct APK download.
    I have uploaded this to Google Drive if anyone needs it.

    Step 4)
    Cancel the Showtime subscription once you've watched the fight.


    Otherwise they will start to charge your card after 7 days.

    Also cancel the VPN subscription if you won't no longer need it.


    Enjoy!

    Time Change Monitor KODI Add-on

    Here is quick add-on I created to monitor for a Time Change in KODI.
    Once there is a Time Change, the add-on will run a defined function (default=Reboot)

    The most common use case is for timezones that change during the year (eg. Daylight Savings).
    When the time changes, the EPG times become in-correct in KODI.
    The only way to fix this is by either clearing the guide data, or restarting KODI.

    This add-on will poll for a time change every 60 seconds.
    If it finds a time change, it will run the defined function.

    Note:
    It cannot detect the difference between a manual or automatic change.
    If you have the service running and manually change your timezone - it will still run.

    It should be compatible with all devices.

    How to Install

    First follow THIS post to install my KODI Add-on Repository.

    Now navigate to "Main Menu -> Add-ons -> My Add-ons"
    Select ".." then select "Install from repository"
    Select "MattHuisman.nz Repository".
    Select "Services" then "Time Change Monitor"

    Now select "Install" and the add-on will download and install.


    It will automatically start running when it is installed.

    The add-on can be found under My Add-ons -> Services.
    Here you can disable it, uninstall it or change the settings (as below).

    Settings


    The "Function" can be any of the KODI build-in functions:
    http://kodi.wiki/view/list_of_built-in_functions
    (The default is "Reboot")

    "No Notifications" when enabled simply hides the pop-up dialog when the function is run.

    Enjoy!

    KODI Widevine Support

    More and more online content providers are now using Widevine DRM for streaming their content.

    KODI has implemented support to allow playback of this content via the inputstream.adaptive add-on.
    A few platforms already support Widevine in KODI 17 (Krypton) and full support for others will come in KODI 18 (Leia).

    My add-ons that require Widevine will automatically attempt to install the required dependencies the first time content is played.
    If you have issues with playback please refer to the below list of platforms for which KODI versions I have found to work.

    Platforms

    Windows x86_64 - YES (KODI 18.0+)
    - Tested: Windows 10 64-bit & 32-bit
    - InputStream Adaptive must be selected when installing KODI
    - Only the .exe version will work (not Windows store UWP version)
    - Requires a recent nightly build of KODI 18.0 (32BIT / 64BIT)

    Linux ARM7 / ARM8 (Raspberry Pi 2 / 3, Odroid C2) - YES (KODI 17+)
    - Tested: Raspberry Pi 3 (LibreELEC & OSMC)
    - Tested: Odroid C2 (Raybuntu LibreELEC 32bit Build)
    - User Tested: MXQ Box (LibreELEC)

    Linux x86_64  / i386 / i686 - YES (KODI 18.0+)
    - Tested: LibreELEC 9.0 Nightly (inputstream add-on in LibreELEC repo)
    - Tested: Mint / Ubuntu x86_64 (sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-adaptive)
    - Tested: Lubuntu i686 & x86_64 (sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-adaptive)

    Darwin x86_64 - YES (KODI 17+)
    - User Tested: Mac Mini 2012 (MacOS Sierra 10.11.6)

    Android ARM / ARM64 - YES (KODI 18.0+)
    - Requires a recent nightly build of KODI 18.0 (ARM / ARM64)
    - As of 12/06/18, it appears Widevine playback for Android is currently broken in nightly builds

    UWP / XBOX One - NO
    - These platforms do not work with InputStream Adaptive (and probably never will)

    I'm looking for users of the below services that wouldn't mind sharing their login details.
    This will allow me to reverse engineer & (usually) be able to create KODI addons for them.

      Logins I'm Looking For

      • Neon
      • ESPN+
      • SlingTV
      • Country TV
      • TAB
      • Others?

      Logins I Have

      If you think you can help out, flick me an email:

      Please only share if you already use these services and would like a KODI addon for them.
      I would hate for someone to spend money on a subscription just for the sake of getting a KODI add-on and then it ends up not being possible.

      I would suggest you change your password to something unique just for that service before sharing the credentials with me.
      This gives us both peace of mind that all I can access is that service.
      I don't want to be responsible for your bank password floating around on my KODI device.
