create EPG from TV network's website?

by canadave_nyc

There's something called "Manhattan Neighborhood Network", a group of five free public access channels in New York City. They livestream their channels, and I've managed to get the five separate .m3u8 streams into TiviMate as an .M3U playlist and can watch them. All great.

However, I'd like to add EPG to them. MNN publishes a website that shows the schedule for all five channels; the website URL is https://www.mnn.org/watch/tv-schedule . Problem is, it's just a normal website, not an EPG URL; and I have no idea how to (or even if it is possible to) create an EPG from a website; it's not something I've ever done before.

Does anyone know if it's possible? And if so, is there a tutorial someone can point me to? Mr. Google was unable to assist me.

Thanks!

I use epg.best to organise my playlists and add epg. If it doesn't have a channel I usually request it in the forum and they add it within a day or two. Been using them for a couple years now and love the service.

if you want to learn to code, you could probably come up with a way to scrape the page and input that into an XML which you could use to put into tivimate. I've done just enough work like that to know it's possible, but not enough to guide you in your quest.

I'd love to see the m3u playlist.

There’s a GitHub project that does exactly this for plutotv. Maybe you could look at that code. This PULLS DOWN the channels and EPG data and makes it into a usable m3u playlist and matching EPG
