Overview

Sportyfin

Description

Stream sports events straight from your Jellyfin server. Sportyfin allows users to scrape for live streamed events and watch straight from Jellyfin. Sportyfin also generates meta-data that is used in Jellyfin to provide a great viewing experience.

Currently, Sportyfin supports NBA, NHL, NFL and Premier League livestreams, but we plan to support other leagues in the future.

Installation

To install Sportyfin with your running instance of Jellyfin, follow the steps bellow:

pip install sportyfin --no-binary=sportyfin

To uninstall the program:

pip uninstall sportyfin

Usage

We highly recommend running Sportyfin in combination with tmux, or something similar.

Example usage:

python3 -m sportyfin <arguments>

Start the sportyfin server as follows:

# -nba specifies finding streams for the NBA
# -s allows sportyfin to use Selenium to scrape
# -v enables verbose mode
# -o enables selecting output location

python3 -m sportyfin -nba -s -v -o ~/Desktop

# -vv specifies silent mode (no output will be produced)
# -a specifies all leagues supported by sportyfin

python3 -m sportyfin -a -vv

Once you have run the program, make sure to link to the .m3u's in the Jellyfin dashboard:

Dashboard > Live TV > Tuner Devices (+) > Tuner Type (M3U Tuner) > File or URL (enter path)

Additionally, make sure to change the "Refresh Guide" setting under:

Dashboard > Scheduled Tasks > Live TV > Refresh Guide > Task Triggers

Once the path has been defined and the settings have been updated, you can check out your streams under:

Home > Live TV > Channels (at the top)

Documentation

Future Improvement

Add server functionality, aka, ability to access streams (m3u files) from HTTP server.

Very interesting! How to expand for different European tournaments?

How can we expand to other football tournaments like Champions League, Europa League and Seria A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1?

It seems to me that from the page you get the streams you can also get the other tournaments so it should be pretty easy right?

"list index out of range" when searching for stream links

Sometimes when searching for stream links, the program completely fails and says "list index out of range". Im using the python version and I've noticed this happens quite often and I assume it happens when it cannot find any streams.

Specify file "location" in addition to "destination"

Hello!

Might be a bit of an edge case/weird setup, and if its not workable -- no worries!

All of my media is stored on a linux server, however my Jellyfin instance runs on a windows machine (as it has more computing oomf). Ideally, I would like to run Sportyfin on my linux box as a Cron job along with my other self-hosted projects. I have my linux box mounted as a network drive in Windows -- so Jellyfin can access the files on the linux server.

The issue I run into, is that the xmltv file indicates the images are stored where the script put the files (in linux) - which isn't the same file path in Windows.

What would be ideal, is if I could specify to the script where the files can be "located" by Jellyfin - which is different than where the script's output/destination is specified.

e.g. output script files to /media/sportyfin but the created xmltv files say they are actually located at Z:\sportyfin python3 -m sportyfin -a -s -v -o /media/sportyfin -l z:\sportyfin

Cheers, and thanks for your work on this project!
