### 4. First launch — Setup
# ⚙️ First launch
Open your browser at `http://guide.your-domain.com`.
Open your browser:
GridTV detects the missing config and automatically redirects you to the setup page:
http://guide.your-domain.com
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| **Group name** | Displayed top-left in the topbar (e.g. *MyTV*, *FamilyTV*...) |
| **EPG URL (XMLTV)** | Your electronic program guide URL |
| **M3U URL** *(optional)* | Your IPTV playlist, for quick copy from the topbar |
GridTV automatically detects the missing configuration and opens the
**setup page**.
Once submitted, `config.json` is created on the server. **The setup page becomes inaccessible.**
You will need to provide:
---
Field Description
------------ -----------------------------------
Group name Displayed in the interface header
EPG URL XMLTV program guide
M3U URL Optional IPTV playlist
### 5. Editing the config later
Once submitted, **config.json is created automatically**.
```bash
# Via SSH
The setup page then becomes inaccessible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 🛠 Editing the configuration later
``` bash
nano /var/www/gridtv/config.json
```
```json
Example configuration:
``` json
{
"group_name": "MyGroup TV",
"epg_url": "http://192.168.0.3:8000/api/xmltv.xml",

## 📁 Project structure
# ⚙️ Advanced configuration
```
gridtv/
├── index.php # The TV guide (redirects to setup if no config found)
├── setup.php # First-launch configuration page
├── config.example.json # Config template (copy to config.json and fill in)
├── .gitignore # config.json excluded from the repo
└── README.md
These constants can be adjusted in **index.php**:
``` js
const PX_PER_MIN = 5;
const HOURS_BEFORE = 1;
const HOURS_AFTER = 3;
const ROW_H = 80;
```
> `config.json` is listed in `.gitignore` — your private URLs will never be pushed to GitHub.
Meaning:
---
- PX_PER_MIN → zoom level of the timeline\
- HOURS_BEFORE → past hours visible\
- HOURS_AFTER → future hours visible\
- ROW_H → height of channel rows
## ⚙️ Advanced configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following constants can be tweaked directly in `index.php`:
# 📁 Project structure
```js
const PX_PER_MIN = 5; // Horizontal zoom (pixels per minute)
const HOURS_BEFORE = 1; // Past hours visible in the grid
const HOURS_AFTER = 3; // Future hours visible in the grid
const ROW_H = 80; // Channel row height (px)
```

`config.json` is ignored by git to prevent leaking private URLs.
