Lazystream/IPTV Media Server Bridge

This Docker provides a simple solution to get live NHL and MLB games into your Emby, Plex, or Channels live TV setup. When combined with a comprehensive IPTV package this setup can get you rolling with live TV and high quality sports. If you would only like to use this for the available sports, simply disable guide2go (or any other function you would like). Please see the Wiki for some user-created scripts to help get things setup.

Run

docker run -d \
	--name=xteve_lazystream \
	-p 34400:34400 \
	-e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" \
	--env-file=.env \
	--log-opt max-size=10m \
	--log-opt max-file=3 \
	-v /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/.xteve:/xteve:rw \

	-v /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/guide2go/:/guide2go:rw \
	-v /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/playlists/:/playlists:rw \
	-v /tmp/xteve/:/tmp/xteve:rw \
	taylorbourne/xteve_lazystream

or see docker-compose.yml for an example docker-compose setup.

Setup

Env file

Defaults & behavior can be changed through environment variables. sample.env should be renamed to .env and supplied through the --env-file docker run option. The .env file can also be picked up if using this in a docker compose setup.

Cron schedule

By default, the cron job is scheduled to run every hour. A custom cron schedule can be specified by renaming the sample_cron.txt file in the /config volume to cron.txt and editing the schedule. Make sure to restart your container to take effect.

Sample volume mapping

Container Path	Host Path
/xteve	/mnt/user/appdata/xteve/.xteve
/config	/mnt/user/appdata/xteve/config
/guide2go	/mnt/user/appdata/xteve/guide2go
/playlists	/mnt/user/appdata/xteve/playlists
/tmp/xteve	/tmp/xteve

xTeVe

By default, xTeVe is setup with all 200 channels mapped for NHL and MLB games. This can be setup directly with Plex / Emby to work out of the box without any changes. If needed, changes can be made to xTeVe by going to 127.0.0.1:34400/web/.

guide2go

If you have an existing guide2go setup you may copy the .yaml files into the path mounted at /guide2go. Otherwise run the following command and follow the on-screen steps
docker exec -it dockername guide2go -configure /guide2go/your_epg_name.yaml

Testing cronjob function

Simply run the cronjob file inside the Docker container
docker exec -it dockername ./cronjob.sh

Notes On Channels DVR

• You have to select MPEG-TS as the stream format
• The stream only works in a browser - not on Android TV or Android
• Adding an m3u playlist to Channels: https://getchannels.com/docs/channels-dvr-server/how-to/custom-channels/#adding-your-custom-channels
