Hello everyone,
first of all I want to apologise if I’m posed in wrong place. Now to my concern. I’m not a programmer but have some basic know how from school time when I learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript and so on. I have a problem and after 1 week google research I have come to somewhere but not to a solution. Therefore I hope I’ll get some Help here.
My IPTV Provider hands me the Stream URLs by XML which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<channels>
<channel>
<title>TV Channel 1</title>
<img>http:/stream.url/channel-logo.png</img>
<info></info>
<url>http:/stream.url/channel.m3u8</url>
</channel>
<channel>
<title>TV Channel 2</title>
<img>http:/stream.url/channel2-logo.png</img>
<info></info>
<url>http:/stream.url/channel2.m3u8</url>
</channel>
...
</channels>Now I have created my own Playlist .m3u8 with my favorite channels, since there are a lot of them and I don’t want to have all of them. My Provider changes sometimes the stream url so I have allways to replace the URL manualy. Now I thought I could have a PHP stream link like: http://mywebhost.com/myphp?channel=id.
My PHP code for now looks like this: (after 1 week of research, finally the Code gets the content from XML and shows Channel-name and URL)
<?php
$html = "";
$mytv = "http://xml.provider.com/all.php";
$xml=simplexml_load_file($mytv);
for($i = 0; $i < 200; $i++){
$title = $xml->channel[$i]->title;
$link = $xml->channel[$i]->url;
$html .= "<p>$title</p><p>$link</p>";
}
echo $html;
?> Now I want to give each Channel and ID wich can be a 2 Digit number, so that my stream URL would be like this http://mywebhost.com/myphp?channel=id or similar or even better way.
Here ist your help needed, how can I give ID number to all channels, and get the dedicated stream URL as a return for my VLC player in PC and PerfectPlayer in Android device?
