The m3u4uAutoandClean.sh File

This file will perform the auto download like the standalone m3u4u.sh. However, it also has the automated docker m3u-playlist-cleaner container script included.

That is found on my GitHub here: link: https://github.com/SeanRiggs/m3u-playlist-cleaner

How to install this version:

Create a path that you will clone the projects into. for example:

sudo mkdir /opt/mediastream/m3ufiles

also, make a m3u directory for docker processing:

sudo mkdir /opt/mediastream/m3ufiles/m3u

Clone the m3u-playlist-cleaner here:

cd /opt/mediastream/m3ufiles
git clone https://github.com/SeanRiggs/m3u-playlist-cleaner.git

you do not need to build the docker image as per the m3u-playlist-cleaner ReadME, as the auto script uses the prebuilt image

Clone this repo to the same directory:

In/opt/mediastream/m3ufiles (or whatever path you built for your m3uFiles):

git clone https://github.com/SeanRiggs/automated-playlist-epg-downloader.git

Resulting file structure:

Move files as needed if you downloaded zip to match the structure below as this is what the script is expecting

/opt/mediastream/m3ufiles
├── m3u
│   └── playlist.m3u (when copied after the first run)
├── m3u-playlist-cleaner
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   ├── composer.lock
│   ├── composer.php
│   ├── playlist_validator.php
│   └── vendor
│       └── (all vendor files here)
├── m3u4u.sh
└── m3u4uAutoandClean.sh

Install all the dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git dos2unix curl

install docker

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

Run install script:

sudo sh get-docker.sh

Start And Enable Docker:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Add your user to the “docker” group to run Docker commands without sudo:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

make the script executable:

chmod +x /opt/mediastream/m3ufiles/m3u4uAutoandClean.sh

Automate with Cron To ensure the script runs daily, create a cron job:

crontab -e

Add this line to run the script every day at 2 AM:

0 2 * * * /opt/mediastream/m3ufiles/m3u4uAutoandClean.sh >> /opt/mediastream/m3ufiles/m3u4u.log 2>&1

Modify the Configurable Varriables in in the m3u4uAutoandClean.sh Script

Use a text editor or VSCode to edit the script to include your m3u4u URLs or any directory you may have changed: example in script:

#!/bin/sh

# Configuration variables
LOGFILE="/opt/mediastream/m3ufiles/m3u4u.log"
M3UFILES_DIR="/opt/mediastream/m3ufiles"
PLAYLIST_URL="http://m3u4u.com/m3u/YOUR_PLAYLIST_URL"
EPG_URL="http://m3u4u.com/xml/YOUR_EPG_URL"
