​
Xtream provider quick setup

Minimal working configuration for a single Xtream Codes provider. Provider details used in this example:
  • URL: http://fantastic.provider.xyz:8080
  • Username: tvjunkie
  • Password: junkie.secret
api:
  host: 0.0.0.0
  port: 8901
  web_root: ./web
storage_dir: ./data
update_on_boot: true

​
Multiple provider merging

Combine two providers into a single target by listing both input names under sources.inputs:
source.yml
templates:
  - name: ALL_CHAN
    value: 'Group ~ ".*"'
inputs:
  - type: xtream
    name: provider_a
    url: http://provider-a.example:8080
    username: user_a
    password: pass_a
  - type: xtream
    name: provider_b
    url: http://provider-b.example:8080
    username: user_b
    password: pass_b
sources:
  - inputs:
      - provider_a
      - provider_b
    targets:
      - name: merged_channels
        output:
          - type: xtream
          - type: m3u
        options:
          remove_duplicates: true
        filter: "!ALL_CHAN!"

​
Filtering examples

​
Include all channels

Group ~ ".*"

​
Live channels only

Type == live

​
Only shopping

Group ~ "(?i).*Shopping.*"

​
Exclude shopping

NOT(Group ~ "(?i).*Shopping.*")

​
French and German channels, no shopping

(Group ~ "^FR.*" AND NOT(Group ~ "^FR.*SERIES.*" OR Group ~ "^DE.*EINKAUFEN.*")) OR (Group ~ "^AU.*")

​
Exclude a single channel

NOT(Title ~ "FR: TV5Monde")

​
Exclude a channel within a specific group only

NOT(Group ~ "FR: TF1" AND Title ~ "FR: TV5Monde")

​
Template-based filter composition

Define named templates and compose them with !name!:
source.yml
templates:
  - name: NO_SHOPPING
    value: 'NOT(Group ~ "(?i).*Shopping.*" OR Group ~ "(?i).*Einkaufen.*")'
  - name: GERMAN_CHANNELS
    value: 'Group ~ "^DE: .*"'
  - name: FRENCH_CHANNELS
    value: 'Group ~ "^FR: .*"'
  - name: MY_CHANNELS
    value: '!NO_SHOPPING! AND (!GERMAN_CHANNELS! OR !FRENCH_CHANNELS!)'
Use in a target:
source.yml
targets:
  - name: my_target
    filter: "!MY_CHANNELS!"
    output:
      - type: xtream

​
Mapping and rename example

Rename group prefixes and enrich with quality labels:
mapping.yml
mappings:
  templates:
    - name: QUALITY
      value: '(?i)\b([FUSL]?HD|SD|4K|1080p|720p|3840p)\b'
  mapping:
    - id: all_channels
      match_as_ascii: true
      mapper:
        - filter: 'Caption ~ "(?i)^(US|USA|United States).*?TNT"'
          script: |
            quality = uppercase(@Caption ~ "!QUALITY!")
            quality = map quality {
              "720p" => "HD",
              "1080p" => "FHD",
              "4K" => "UHD",
              "3840p" => "UHD",
              _ => quality,
            }
            @Group = "United States - Entertainment"
Simple rename rule in source.yml:
source.yml
rename:
  - field: group
    pattern: '^DE(.*)'
    new_name: '1. DE$1'

VLC seek problem with user_access_control

Seeking can generate very fast reconnects and byte-range requests. If stale provider connections have not yet disappeared, the user can briefly appear above max_connections. Typical mitigation:
config.yml
reverse_proxy:
  stream:
    grace_period_millis: 2000
    grace_period_timeout_secs: 5

​
Docker with Traefik

Deploy tuliprox behind Traefik with path-based routing:
docker-compose.yml
services:
  tuliprox:
    container_name: tuliprox
    image: ghcr.io/euzu/tuliprox-alpine:latest
    working_dir: /app
    volumes:
      - /home/tuliprox/tuliprox:/app/tuliprox
      - /home/tuliprox/config:/app/config
      - /home/tuliprox/data:/app/data
      - /home/tuliprox/cache:/app/cache
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Paris
    ports:
      - "8901:8901"
    restart: unless-stopped
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.tuliprox.rule=Host(`tv.my-domain.io`) && (PathPrefix(`/tv`) || PathPrefix(`/tuliprox`))"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.tuliprox-strip.stripprefix.prefixes=/tv"
When Traefik terminates TLS and proxies to tuliprox, add the path offset to api-proxy.yml:
api-proxy.yml
server:
  - name: default
    protocol: https
    host: tv.my-domain.io
    port: "443"
    timezone: Europe/Paris
    message: Welcome to tuliprox
    path: tuliprox
  - name: local
    protocol: http
    host: 192.168.1.41
    port: "8901"
    timezone: Europe/Paris
    message: Welcome to tuliprox
Forward real IP headers in Traefik or nginx so tuliprox sees the client address: 
location /tuliprox {
  rewrite ^/tuliprox/(.*)$ /$1 break;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_pass http://192.168.1.9:8901/;
  proxy_redirect off;
  proxy_buffering off;
  proxy_request_buffering off;
  proxy_cache off;
  tcp_nopush on;
  tcp_nodelay on;
}

​
Local library CLI commands

./tuliprox --scan-library
./tuliprox --force-library-rescan
./tuliprox --dbx /opt/tuliprox/data/all_channels/xtream/video.db
./tuliprox --dbm /opt/tuliprox/data/all_channels/m3u.db
./tuliprox --dbe /opt/tuliprox/data/all_channels/xtream/epg.db

Custom fallback video generation

Convert a still image into a .ts fallback stream for use with custom_stream_response_path: 
ffmpeg -y -nostdin -loop 1 -framerate 30 -i blank_screen.jpg -f lavfi \
  -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=48000 -t 10 -shortest -c:v libx264 \
  -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset veryfast -crf 23 -x264-params "keyint=30:min-keyint=30:scenecut=0:bframes=0:open_gop=0" \
  -c:a aac -b:a 128k -ac 2 -ar 48000 -mpegts_flags +resend_headers -muxdelay 0 -muxpreload 0 -f mpegts blank_screen.ts
Place the generated .ts file in the custom_stream_response_path directory and name it one of:
  • channel_unavailable.ts
  • user_connections_exhausted.ts
  • provider_connections_exhausted.ts
  • low_priority_preempted.ts
  • user_account_expired.ts
  • panel_api_provisioning.ts
