tvheadend and m3u-builder

by halfagascan

I have tvheadend running in docker and m3u-builder to trim the iptv list from my provider, tvh runs fine, m3u-builder runs fine, trims the list to my liking. Using this: https://old.reddit.com/r/AceTV/comments/6myv1x/m3ubuilder_config_files_to_get_a_clean_epg_for/ and this: https://pastebin.com/raw/qkfUXJb1 as guides. Where does the guide.xml and channels.m3u need to be placed, so that tvh is able to see them, according to the pastebin, it should go to: path:'/xmltv/channels', tried placing my channels there, but it is not seen, all I see is my providers channel list. I've tried placing the location into tvh, it errors with not being able to open the http, which is understandable, its not an http location.

How to get the channels.m3u and guide.xml into tvh, running in docker

For the m3u, use the file format to point to a local file:

file:///path/to/file.m3u

For the guide, you need to setup a grabber. You can use the existing tv_grab_file grabber which I think points to /home/hts/.xmltv/tv_grab_file.xml (or whatever the home dir is of the tvhe user for your system)
