Create Movies and TV Series Video on Demand (VOD) Playlist's Using Xtream Codes or M3U8 Format
TMDB To VOD Playlist
Create Movies and TV Series Video on Demand (VOD) Playlist's using Xtream Codes or M3U8 Format.Generate video-on-demand movie and TV series playlists effortlessly with this script. The script utilizes TMDB and Real Debrid (with a few direct sources that do not require a Real Debrid API key) to dynamically create playlists. By emulating Xtream Codes apps like Tivimate, IPTV Streamers Pro, XCIPTV Player, NexTV, and others, it provides comprehensive metadata including descriptions, cast and crew details, trailers, poster images, and backdrop images.
Features
- Dynamic playlist generation for movies and TV series
- Integration with TMDB and Real Debrid for enhanced content retrieval
- Emulation of Xtream Codes apps for full metadata details
- Inclusion of Daddylive HD as a Live TV source (load daddylive_playlist_m3u.php as an M3U List).
If you get a 403 error while playing the live tv try using an external player like the MxPlayer. - Support for configuring referrer for playing live streams
- Automatic caching of found links for efficient playback
Setup Video:
Configuration:
Begin by configuring the script with a mandatory free TMDB API key and an optional Real Debrid private key.
Run the Scripts: Execute create_playlist.php for movies and create_tv_playlist.php for TV series. Schedule these two files to run once or twice daily using Windows Scheduler or as a cron job through your hosting panel.
Xtream Codes Integration: Once the scripts have been executed at least once, you can enter your IP address or domain as an Xtream Codes server. The username and password can be set to anything since the script doesn't require authentication. This will automatically load the previously generated Movies and TV Series playlists into the app.
Non-Xtream Codes Apps: If your app does not support Xtream Codes, locate the playlist.m3u8 in the same folder after running create_playlist.php and load it as an M3U playlist. Note that M3U playlists are available for movies and live TV only; TV series cannot be loaded as an M3U playlist.
Playback: Once everything is set up and the playlists are loaded, you should be able to play a video. Clicking the play button will trigger the script to search multiple websites in the background for a playable link. Please be patient and allow some time for a link to be found and streaming to commence. The script caches and stores the found link for approximately 3 hours, aligning with the typical access token expiration of most direct sources, which occurs at around 4 hours.
Local Hosting: If you lack a hosting company to run this extremely lightweight script, you can install and run software on your desktop computer like Xampp.

Added the Premiumize service as an alternative to Real-Debrid. (used only with torrent sites)
Added threads when searching torrent sites for magnet links. (speeds up the time it takes to find a link)
Added and fixed direct movie and tv show sources as well as more link extractors.
Added TheTvApp sports section in the Live TV Playlist (set your app to load epg and playlist every 12 hours or less.)
Added PlutoTV to the live tv playlist (Multi Languages Here: i.mjh.nz)
Redesigned the Live TV and DaddyLive functions and playlist. (all of the images in the playlist are working)
Fixed a lot of bugs in the torrent search and filtering functions. (it finds links much more often now)

Fixed some bugs in HeadlessVidX
Fixed Daddylive
Fixed EPG for DaddyLive
Fixed TheTVApp Sports section
Fixed showBox_media
showBox_media requires a login and a cookie string to be added to sessions/showbox_media_cookies.txt in order to extract links. Taking the time to add these cookies is well worth it if you aren't using a premium link service and are seeking the best quality possible. How to: videos/how_to_showbox_media_cookie.mp4
