telly v1.1.0-Beta1

This is a very large release with many more breaking changes but brings a whole new generation of telly.

• Adds support for SchedulesDirect to augment a provider EPG
• If you have XMLTV, we attempt to extract the real channel number from the guide and use that instead of starting at 10000
• Start channel number is configurable now, default is 10000 but you can start wherever
• Overhauled regex support. Customizable to which key do regex on, or the entire line.
• Sorting support. Provide the M3U key to sort by so that channels aren't all over the lineup anymore. Sports is 10000-10100, News is 10101-10150, etc
• Multiple providers support. You can configure as many sources as you want, everything gets nicely merged together without overlapping channels and a clean EPG XMLTV file is output
• No more command line arguments. Environment variables are there, but configuration file is the preferred way to configure things now
• Provider presets. No more needing to juggle M3U and XMLTV files or worry about updating them, just provide username/password and provider name and telly does the rest

Please read the README.md for the new configuration file syntax.

telly v1.0.3

• Sadly, another emergency fix for SSDP discovery in Plex
• Allows full configuration of the DiscoveryData payload.

telly v1.0.2

Contains an emergency fix for a dependency issue with go-ssdp which caused SSDP to break since 1.0.1.

telly v1.0.1

Quick temporary fix for http downloads

telly v1.0.0

Massive thanks to @robbiet480 for this version.

This version has breaking changes - telly's overall functionality is exactly the same, but commandline arguments are completely different.

There's also been a big overhaul to the regex system. By default, the regex matches zero channels. --filter.regex is treated as a blacklist and is set to .*, matching all channels.

To change --filter.regex to a whitelist, pass the flag --filter.regex-inclusive. This now shows all channels and has the same functionality as the old --useregex, just put your regex in the --filter.regex flag.

As before, environment variables are supported (for Docker folks), take a look at the help page for telly, e.g. playlist is TELLY_IPTV_PLAYLIST

Telly is also significantly faster (thanks to using gin)

The UK / 24/7 / etc presets have been removed, you can achieve the same using regex.

Telly has Prometheus metrics integration - more metrics coming soon!

telly v0.6.2

Regarding the recent issues: Either there's a bug in the recent Plex Transcoder or Plex have stopped supporting .m3u8 streams.
Most if not all IPTV providers support MPEG-TS (.ts) streams - please use these for the time being! I am working on a version of telly to automatically transcode .m3u8 to .ts.
Thanks to @EnorMOZ for looking into these issues with me!

If you run into any issues please hop into our Discord or open an issue!

telly v0.6

Big thanks to @hazcod for their work on this one!

• SSDP support: to put it simply, Plex will no longer think telly is offline!
• Base URL support for Docker (useful if you're listening on 0.0.0.0)

(also thanks to @maaximal)

If you run into any issues please hop into our Discord!

telly v0.5

Long time no release! Big thanks to @hazcod for this one, it's quite a big deal! -

• telly now provides Plex with its own stream URLs. Instead of http://your-iptv.provider.example.com/xxxxx.ts it'll be http://tellyurl/stream/aaabbbccc - this allows us to work around some IPTV provider's new ?token= format among other things
• bunch of other small changes

PLEASE, if you have any issues with this release hop into our Discord (link in the README) or open an issue!

telly v0.4.5
