m3u4strm

[Hanna Yusuf]

Hey everyone, 

I have recently released a beta version of a web app I have been working on, it manages your m3u plus files and helps you keep everything in order. 
It also has a UI where you can view your movies and series. Yes it is mainly for movies and series, it helps turn your m3us into a compatible strm structure and then you can add the movies and series to Jellyfin by submitting a watch list. 
This web app is completely free and open source! I would love if people can further develop it.
I am not the greatest programmer ever, but it works! Some features aren't implemented yet I am hoping the community will help. 
You can deploy it as a docker container using docker compose or using portainer.

I created a similar project, no web ui just a docker image. I briefly looked over your code and am I to assume that if the file extension is absent from the provided m3u then this will not correctly parse the Movies and or series? I know a lot of providers do not put formats/files extensions. I see you're using ffmpeg/ffprobe to get video info, but it only seems to grab the duration and resolution, surely you could use this method to get the file extension as well? Also, how does using ffmpeg to get video info affect the speed of large m3us? I'd very curious to know as it may be something I'd like to implement into my project. I found that m3u are formatted very differently across providers and adjusting to accommodate this is a big hurdle in correctly parsing out movie/series titles. Currently I use a bunch of regex to determine stream types and titles, but I've though about using something like this, and I'd be interested to know what are your thoughts? https://pypi.org/project/guessit/
