is it possible to get the VOD m3u? about stb-proxy HOT 4 CLOSED

Is there a special m3u format for VODs?
Some TV shows might have hundreds of episodes... That will be a massive list in clients (crash?) if there isn't a special format that nests shows/seasons/episodes.

I am wary about this. I got banned from one provider because I tried to get all "pages" concurrently ( I think the concurrent futures module I was using defaults to 1 request per CPU core).

I could do it slowly one at a time and cache the results. But then how often should I rebuild the cache? It takes some time to make 100s or 1000s of http requests... very long if the server is slow to respond.

I imagine the VOD playlist being completely separate from the live playlist and with no customization. Perhaps there could be a 3rd playlist that's both combined.

What would you expect?

VOD content doesn't change too often I think, so rebuilding the cache once a day sounds good. It may be happening in the background, somewhere in the web interface a progress bar would be great 😉

Possibly make a configurable delay, as Kodi seems to be without any real delay and I think that works fine 😕

VOD playlist can indeed be a completely separate playlist because live TV is something else.

His methods seem good, https://github.com/kens13/Kens13_Repo/blob/943d733cc1e228c5046f7e06556ce26d686667e0/Addons/plugin.video.IPTVXtra/stalker.py#L381
