README
**Recent changes by [Chuchodavids](https://github.com/mar-mei/guide2go/issues?q=is%3Apr+author%3AChuchodavids):**
1. Grab images from Schedules Direct in a local folder. This script will download tvshow/movie images and save them in a local folder. Then it will expose the images from a go server. This is useful for players like Emby or Plex.
1. For players like tiviMate I added the "live" and "new" icon in the tittle of the program. This is usually auto-added in Emby or other IPTV players, but TiviMate does not do this by reading XML tags.
1. Added the option to proxy the images instead of downloading them locally. It will pass the guide2go server IP and the server will act as a reverse-proxy to Schedules Direct to grab the image. (only usefully for small EPG files).## Guide2Go
Guide2Go is written in Go and creates an XMLTV file from the Schedules Direct JSON API.
**Configuration files from version 1.0.6 or earlier are not compatible!**### Advantages compared to version 1.0.x
- 3x faster
- Less memory
- Smaller cache file#### Features
- Cache function to download only new EPG data
- No database is required
- Update EPG with CLI command for using your own scripts#### Requirement
- [Schedules Direct](https://www.schedulesdirect.org/ "Schedules Direct") Account
- [Go](https://golang.org/ "Golang") to build the binary
- Computer with 1-2 GB memory## Installation
### Build binary
The following command must be executed with the terminal / command prompt inside the source code folder.
Linux, Unix, OSX:
```
go build -o guide2go
```
Windows:```
go build -o guide2go.exe
```
### Docker
Download the docker image:#### Volumes
- /data/images -- Path where images will be cached. It has to be the same that was declared in the Environment variables
- /data/livetv -- optional -- If you want to save the files in a directory that other applications will have access to. (shared folder)**Stable:**
`docker pull chuchodavids/guide2go:stable`
**Development:**
`docker pull chuchodavids/guide2go:development`
**docker-compose**
```
version: "3.4"
services:
guide2go:
container_name: guide2go
image: chuchodavids/guide2go:stable
ports:
- 8080:8080
environment:
- TZ: America/Chicago
volumes:
- /data/config/guide2go:/config
- /data/livetv/:/data/livetv/
- /data/images:/data/images/
restart: always
```Switch -o creates the binary *guide2go* in the current folder.
### Show CLI parameter:
```guide2go -h``````
-config string
= Get data from Schedules Direct with configuration file. [filename.yaml]
-configure string
= Create or modify the configuration file. [filename.yaml]
-h : Show help
```### Create a config file:
**note: You can use the sample config file that is in the /config folder inside of the docker container**
```guide2go -configure MY_CONFIG_FILE.yaml```
If the configuration file does not exist, a YAML configuration file is created.**Configuration file from version 1.0.6 or earlier is not compatible.**
##### Terminal Output:

2. Add Lineup
3. Remove Lineup
4. Manage Channels
5. Create XMLTV File [MY_CONFIG_FILE.xml]

**Follow the instructions in the terminal**
1. Schedules Direct Account:
Manage Schedules Direct credentials.2. Add Lineup:
Add Lineup into the Schedules Direct account.3. Remove Lineup:
Remove Lineup from the Schedules Direct account.4. Manage Channels:
Selection of the channels to be used.
All selected channels are merged into one XML file when the XMLTV file is created.
When using all channels from all lineups it is recommended to create a separate Guide2Go configuration file for each lineup.
**Example:**
Lineup 1:
```
guide2go -configure Config_Lineup_1.yaml
```
Lineup 2:
```
guide2go -configure Config_Lineup_2.yaml
```5. Create XMLTV File [MY_CONFIG_FILE.xml]:
Creates the XMLTV file with the selected channels.#### The YAML configuration file can be customize with an editor.:
```yaml
Account:
Username: SCHEDULES_DIRECT_USERNAME
Password: SCHEDULES_DIRECT_HASHED_PASSWORD

- all: All available Image ratios are used.
- 2x3: Only uses the Image / Poster in 2x3 ratio. (Used by Plex)
- 4x3: Only uses the Image / Poster in 4x3 ratio.
- 16x9: Only uses the Image / Poster in 16x9 ratio.**Some clients only use one image, even if there are several in the XMLTV file.**
---
```yaml
Schedule Days: 7
```
EPG data for the specified days. Schedules Direct has EPG data for the next 12-14 days---
```yaml
Subtitle into Description: false
```
Some clients only display the description and ignore the subtitle tag from the XMLTV file.**true:** If there is a subtitle, it will be added to the description.

```yaml
Local Images Cache: false
```
**true**: Download the images from SD in a local folder. This option atuomatically enables the server so clients can access to the images.
**false**: images are not downloaded locally---
```yaml
Hostname: localhost:8080
```
**Hostname:** hostname + port of the local server for the images
---```yaml
Images Path: /data/images
```Path to cache images locally. Only useful if Local Images Cache = true
---
```yaml
Proxy Images: false
```**True**: (Overrides local image cache option) Instead of downloading the images locally, it will act as a reverse proxy between the clients and guide2go server.
This is only usefull when there are not too many clients on your network, not too many channels on your EPG and you are not downloading more than 1-3 days of EPG data.
It is very usefull if you dont want to bother setting up a cache folder for your EPG images.---
```yaml
Insert credits tag into XML file: false
```
**true:** Adds the credits (director, actor, producer, writer) to the program information, if available.

Specifies the number of maximum rating entries. If the value is 0, all parental guidelines available from Schedules Direct are used. Depending on the preferred countries.```yaml
Rating:
...
Preferred countries. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code. Leave empty for all systems:

```
Sets the order of the preferred countries [ISO 3166-1 alpha-3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3 "ISO 3166-1 alpha-3").
Parental guidelines are not available for every country and program information. Trial and error.
If no country is specified, all available countries are used. Many clients ignore a list with more than one entry or use the first entry.**If no country is specified:**
If a rating entry exists in the same language as the Schedules Direct Lineup, it will be set to the top. In this example German (DEU).Lineup: **DEU**-1000097-DEFAULT
