stbroker

Communicate with an STB portal, as if it had a real API.

Install

Install it for use in your own application:

npm install stbroker

What is this?

Many IPTV providers require their users to buy an expensive set-top-box in order to watch their streams. You can use this little library to work around that, and directly get the url of the channel's stream.

How to use it

 
var iptv = new Stbroker({
    // The mac address you gave your iptv provider, can be made up
    mac_address: '00:1A:79:47:9A:3F',
 
    // The url to the portal (sometimes this is all you need)
    start_url: 'http://www.your-iptv-provider-url.net/welcome',
 
    // The following is not strictly needed
    // The root of the portal (sometimes this is a subfolder, so it can be /somethingelse/)
    base: 'http://www.your-iptv-provider-url.net',
 
    // The path where actions are requested (like handshakes, channel lists, ...)
    action_path: '/action.php'
});
 
// Get all the available channels
iptv.getChannels(function gotChannels(err, channels) {
    console.log('Channels:', channels);
 
    channels[0].getStreamUrl(function gotUrl(err, url) {
        console.log('Here\'s your stream url:', url);
    });
});
