I have updated my IPTV generator script to output a few more types of m3u8 files that should be compatible with a greater range of devices & software.
If you have been previously using my older urls, please update to the new urls below.
I have redirected the old urls to the new files so existing systems shouldn't break.
I will keep these redirects up for a few months to allow for switching.
I have updated all previous blog posts to use the new urls.
You can view the currently available TV Channels & Radio Stations HERE.
They don't pipe any streams and don't add any extra headers etc.

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.
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 region locked 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 rely on ffmpeg being 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.

JSON
These files simply contain the stream information in a nice JSON formatted file.My NZ Freeview& NZ Radio KODI add-ons use these files for their data.
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.

More Info
All streams are scraped and checked nightly for maximum reliability.
Where possible, the channels API's are used to help reduce risk of outdated streams.
The highest bit-rate streams are used.
I am automatically notified of any failed streams.

It is best to pull the files on or after 2:00 am (as they are generated around 1:30am).
If you find yourself using any of these files, please consider shouting me a coffee.
Enjoy!
