## 🌐 Demo
A public demo instance is available here:
👉 https://guide.demo.johnnybegood.fr/
This demo runs with a sample XMLTV feed and fake channels to showcase the interface.

## ✨ 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
- ▶️ **Built-in HLS player** — click any channel or live program to watch in a PiP overlay
- 🔀 **HTTP→HTTPS proxy** — streams Tunarr over HTTP transparently from an HTTPS page
- 🎨 **Theme system** — drop a CSS file in `themes/` and it appears in the menu automatically
- ⚙️ **Guided setup** on first launch — no config files to edit manually
- 🔄 **Auto-reload** EPG every 30 minutes
- 0️⃣ **Zero JS dependencies** — vanilla PHP, hls.js loaded from CDN
---
## 🚀 Installation
### Requirements
- A web server running **PHP 8.0+** with **php-curl** extension
- **Apache** or **Nginx**
- An **EPG source in XMLTV format** (e.g. Tunarr, Jellyfin, xTeVe...)
- *(Optional)* An **M3U playlist** — required for the built-in player
---
### 1. Clone the repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Johnnybegood90/GridTV.git /var/www/gridtv
cd /var/www/gridtv
```
---
### 2. Set permissions
```bash
chmod 775 /var/www/gridtv
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/gridtv
```
---
### 3a. 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
```
---
### 3b. Configure Apache
```apache
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName guide.your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/gridtv
<Directory /var/www/gridtv>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
```
```bash
a2enmod php8.4 rewrite
systemctl reload apache2
```
---
### 4. Install php-curl
The built-in player uses `proxy.php` to relay HTTP streams over HTTPS. This requires the **php-curl** extension:
```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu — adjust version to match your PHP
apt install php8.4-curl
# Then reload the web server
systemctl reload apache2 # or: systemctl reload nginx
```
---
### 5. 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 — used by the built-in player to match channels to streams |
Once submitted, `config.json` is created on the server. **The setup page becomes inaccessible.**
---
### 6. Editing the config later
```bash
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"
}
```

## 🎨 Themes
GridTV ships with 4 built-in themes. To add your own, create a CSS file in `themes/` with these metadata comments at the top:
```css
/*
* @name My Theme
* @emoji 🌙
*/
:root {
--bg: #0a0b0d;
--accent: #e8c842;
/* ... */
}
```
Drop it in `themes/` — it appears in the theme selector automatically, no code changes needed.
---
## ▶️ Built-in Player
Click on any **channel name** or **currently airing program** to open a PiP (picture-in-picture) player in the bottom-right corner.
The player requires:
- An **M3U URL** configured in setup (used to match channel names to stream URLs)
- The **php-curl** extension installed on the server
If your stream source (e.g. Tunarr) serves streams over HTTP while GridTV runs on HTTPS, `proxy.php` handles the relay transparently — no browser mixed-content errors.
---
## ⚙️ Advanced configuration
The following constants can be tweaked directly in `index.php`:
```js
const PX_PER_MIN = 5; // Horizontal zoom (pixels per minute)
const GRID_HOURS = 72; // Total timeline duration (hours)
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
