## ✨ 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)
