tv.sh
A small script to offer a selection menu of channels in ustvgo.tv using rofi (or dmenu if you change the code) and start playing in mpv.
Intended for those who like the selection but don't necessarily want to add the m3u file to a program like vlc.
You should first go get ustvgo_to_m3u which actually does everything for this to be useful and then change the path to the ustvgo.m3u file in the script
Installation
git clone https://git.konsthol.eu/konsthol/UsTvGo_Menu
cd UsTvGo_Menu
sudo cp tv.sh /usr/bin/
(Or cp tv.sh anywhere in your $PATH)
Usage
Simply run ./tv.sh or even better assign it to run with a keybinding
Also as benmoose39 says in his repo the playlist url changes every 4 hours so if you don't hate setting up cron jobs you should do the following
crontab -e (to open the cronjobs file)
0 */4 * * * ~/PATH_UP_TO/ustvgo_to_m3u/autorun.sh
If you want it to renew before 4 hours have passed or after, you can change the cron parameters according to crontab.guru
Dependencies
- grep
- awk
- sed
- rofi (or dmenu)
- mpv
