M3U Playlist CLI

A simple Typer-based CLI to download and filter IPTV M3U playlists.

Setup

1. Install uv if not already installed:

   pip install uv

2. Create a .env file in the same directory with your IPTV credentials:

   USER=your_username
   PWD=your_password

Usage

No need to install dependencies — uv handles everything via the shebang.

Download M3U

uv run iptv.py download

Downloads the playlist to playlist.m3u.

Filter Playlist

uv run iptv.py filter-streams --tokens "action" "sports"

Filters entries containing both "action" and "sports" in their title. Saves output to filtered.m3u.

You can optionally specify input/output files:

uv run iptv.py filter-streams --tokens "news" --input-file custom.m3u --output-file news_only.m3u

Notes

• The playlist.m3u filename is used by default for both download and filter.
• Filtering is case-insensitive.
