For Educational Purposes Only

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.

# For example: docker run -v ~/Desktop:/sportyfin/output sportyfin 
# You can edit the paramaters that sportyfin runs with from the Dockerfile

OR you may pull the container with the following:

docker pull sportyfin/sportyfin:latest 
docker run -v <Path Where You Want Output>:/sportyfin/output sportyfin/sportyfin:latest

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

See the full list of arguments here.

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)

Future Improvement
