TMDB-To-VOD-Playlist

TMDB to VOD: Free Live TV, Movies & Series Playlist [Xtream Codes & M3U8]

Update 09/28/2025

• Live TV: Fixed the Live TV section and added DrewLive, a massive all in one source of 7,000+ channels.
• Read Debrid: Fixed Read Debrid cache checks and added Streamio Sites as a debrid source (support for more debrid services coming soon).
• Stream sources: Cleaned up and removed several direct stream sources in both the main script and HeadlessVidX to improve reliability.
• Adult VOD: Fixed the Adult VOD source, the 10,000 title adult movie library now refreshes automatically every Sunday.
• HeadlessVidX: Major overhaul and bug fixes. The software had numerous issues and I spent several weeks stabilizing it and bringing it up to the standard I wanted.
• Overall: Much of the project had broken after more than a year without updates. Things are working much better now, and I’ve got plans to add more features in upcoming releases.

Features

• Dynamic playlist generation for live tv, movies and TV series
• Integration with TMDB, Real Debrid, Premiumize and direct sources for enhanced content retrieval
• Emulation of Xtream Codes software for full metadata details
• Inclusion of Live TV sources such as Daddylive, TheTVApp, MoveOnJoy, Streamed Su Sports, Pluto TV and more.
• Most of the live TV channels include detailed TV Guide (EPG) information.
• Automatic caching of found streaming links for efficient playback
• 10K Full length adult movies added to the VOD (disabled by default)

Getting Started

1. Configuration: Start by setting up the script with the required free TMDB API Key and an optional private key for Real Debrid or Premiumize, which are not mandatory.

2. Xtream Codes Integration: Enter the IP address or domain as an Xtream Codes server. Any username and password will work since the script doesn't require authentication. This will automatically load the Live TV, Movies and TV Series playlists into the app.

3. Non-Xtream Codes Apps: If your app does not support Xtream Codes, load http://IP_ADDRESS/player_api.php?action=get_vod_streams (replace IP_ADDRESS with your computers ip address) in your browser, then locate the playlist.m3u8 in the same folder as the script and load it as an M3U playlist. Note that the M3U8 playlists are available for movies and live TV only; TV series cannot be loaded as an M3U playlist.

4. Playback: Once everything is set up and the playlists are loaded, you should be able to play a video. Clicking the play button will trigger the script to search multiple websites in the background for a playable link. Please be patient and allow some time for a link to be found and streaming to commence. The script caches and stores the found link for approximately 3 hours, aligning with the typical access token expiration of most direct sources, which occurs at around 4 hours.

5. Local Hosting: If you lack a hosting company to run this extremely lightweight script, you can install and run software on your desktop computer like Xampp.

• Redesigned the Live TV and DaddyLive functions and playlist. (all of the images in the playlist are working)

• Added adult movies to vod (disabled by default)

What is HeadlessVidX?​

HeadlessVidX is a tool designed to simplify the development of video extractors for streaming websites. It provides an easy-to-use solution for users, regardless of their programming skills, to quickly add video streaming sites to tools such as 'TMDB TO VOD'.

Creating Playlist

You no longer need to manually run create_playlist.php and create_tv_playlist.php. With the workflow set up on GitHub, these playlists are automatically generated twice a day. To create your own movies and series playlist, simply set $userCreatePlaylist to true in the config.php file.
