Emulates a network tuner to allow IPTV streams to play in Plex.

This is a very lightweight Windows service that is similar in function to telly 1.1. It has been tested on Windows 10 and Windows Server Core 2016.

1. Copy IPTVTuner.exe and related DLLs to the server.
2. Ensure that "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" has read access to IPTVTuner.exe and related DLLs.

Example of changing ACLs in PowerShell.

$acl = Get-Acl .\IPTVTuner.exe
$AccessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService","Read","Allow")
$acl.SetAccessRule($AccessRule)
$acl | Set-Acl .\IPTVTuner.exe
$acl | Set-Acl .\Newtonsoft.Json.dll
$acl | Set-Acl .\uhttpsharp.dll

3. Using an admin console, register the IPTVTuner service.

IPTVTuner.exe --install

You can remove the service with the --uninstall argument.

3. Configure the M3U/EPG URL and filters in the registry.

The following are required:

REG ADD HKLM\Software\IPTVTuner \v M3UURL \t REG_SZ \d "http://provider.com/get.php..."
REG ADD HKLM\Software\IPTVTuner \v EPGURL \t REG_SZ \d "http://provider.com/xmltv.php..."
REG ADD HKLM\Software\IPTVTuner \v Filter \t REG_SZ \d "ENGLISH$"

The following are optional entries; default values are shown:

REG ADD HKLM\Software\IPTVTuner \v IpAddress \t REG_SZ \d "127.0.0.1"
REG ADD HKLM\Software\IPTVTuner \v Port \t REG_DWORD \d 6079
REG ADD HKLM\Software\IPTVTuner \v StartChannel \t REG_DWORD \d 1

4. Start the service with net start IPTVTuner. If everything is configured correctly, the Application event log should report that IPTVTuner has begun updating the lineup and EPG.

Create a scheduled task to periodically update the EPG. The scheduled task should invoke IPTVTuner.exe --update-epg. This will regenerate the local epg.xml so that Plex can update its guide.

1. Compile the project and register the executable from the bin/Debug folder as per the install guide.
2. In an admin console, use net start IPTVTuner to start the service.
3. In Visual Studio, attach to IPTVTuner.exe using Debug > Attach to Process...

When compiled in DEBUG mode, the service should wait in Service.cs#Onstart for a debugger to attach before proceeding.
