# 📺 GridTV > A real-time IPTV TV guide, built for [Tunarr](https://github.com/chrisbenincasa/tunarr) and any XMLTV/M3U source. ![PHP](https://img.shields.io/badge/PHP-8.0+-777BB4?style=flat-square&logo=php&logoColor=white) ![Nginx](https://img.shields.io/badge/Nginx-ready-009639?style=flat-square&logo=nginx&logoColor=white) ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-AGPLv3-blue?style=flat-square) --- ![GridTV Preview](assets/preview.png) --- ## ✨ Features - 🎛️ **Timeline grid** — horizontal EPG-style view with a live "now" indicator - 📱 **Responsive** — optimized list view on mobile - ⏱️ **Live progress bar** on the currently airing program - 🕶️ **Past programs** automatically dimmed - 📋 **Hover tooltip** — title, synopsis, season/episode, schedule, duration - 🔗 **One-click copy** buttons for EPG & M3U URLs in the topbar - ⚙️ **Guided setup** on first launch — no config files to edit manually - 🔄 **Auto-reload** EPG every 30 minutes - 0️⃣ **Zero dependencies** — vanilla PHP + nginx, that's it --- ## 🚀 Installation ### Requirements - A web server running **PHP 8.0+** with **php-fpm** - **Nginx** (or Apache) - An **EPG source in XMLTV format** (e.g. Tunarr, Jellyfin, xTeVe...) - *(Optional)* An **M3U playlist** --- ### 1. Clone the repo ```bash git clone https://github.com/Johnnybegood90/GridTV.git /var/www/gridtv cd /var/www/gridtv ``` --- ### 2. Set permissions ```bash # The web server needs write access to create config.json during setup chmod 775 /var/www/gridtv chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/gridtv ``` --- ### 3. Configure Nginx ```nginx server { listen 80; server_name guide.your-domain.com; root /var/www/gridtv; index index.php; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock; } } ``` > 💡 Adjust the PHP version (`php8.2-fpm`) to match the one installed on your server. ```bash nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx ``` --- ### 4. First launch — Setup Open your browser at `http://guide.your-domain.com`. GridTV detects the missing config and automatically redirects you to the setup page: | 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 | Once submitted, `config.json` is created on the server. **The setup page becomes inaccessible.** --- ### 5. Editing the config later ```bash # Via SSH nano /var/www/gridtv/config.json ``` ```json { "group_name": "MyGroup TV", "epg_url": "http://192.168.0.3:8000/api/xmltv.xml", "m3u_url": "http://192.168.0.3:8000/api/channels.m3u" } ``` --- ## 📁 Project structure ``` 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 ``` > `config.json` is listed in `.gitignore` — your private URLs will never be pushed to GitHub. --- ## ⚙️ Advanced configuration The following constants can be tweaked directly in `index.php`: ```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) ``` --- ## 🧩 EPG Compatibility GridTV parses the standard **XMLTV format**. Tested with: - ✅ [Tunarr](https://github.com/chrisbenincasa/tunarr) - ✅ [xTeVe](https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe) - ✅ [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/) (via LiveTV plugin) - ✅ Any XMLTV-compliant file --- ## 🤝 Contributing PRs are welcome!
