Sending the following form data to https://jiotvapi.media.jio.com/playback/apis/v1/geturl?langId=6 will give stream information of catchup. It needs most of the data from EPG

channel_id: channelID
stream_type: "Catchup"
begin: epg_data.startEpoch
end: epg_data.endEpoch
srno, epg_data.srno
programId, epg_data.showId
showtime: epg_data.showtime

Rest streaming can use the same logic written in https://github.com/rabilrbl/jiotv_go/blob/65effc34c068b11e7e127d3e34c0c543a5ca0607/pkg/television/television.go#L72
I don't know golang hence cannot implement this big change 😓

@PlessioTihsrah Man this is great! Never thought about it. Will test this and implement ASAP

[rabilrbl]

@PlessioTihsrah I though this will give us whole days catchup with just a single m3u8 file.
Is it possible?
Otherwise I have to build new components for which I don't have time

[PlessioTihsrah]

@rabilrbl For the current m3u8 playlist, if you add some keys catchup-days, catchup, catchup-source, then IPTV player automatically sends the params for stream (tried only with tivimate for now). For example

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id=143 tvg-name="CNBC Tv18 Prime HD" tvg-logo="http://localhost:5001/jtvimage/CNBC_Tv18_Prime_HD.png" tvg-language="English" tvg-type="Business" group-title="Business" catchup-days="1" catchup="auto" catchup-source="http://localhost:5001/catchup/143?start=${start}&end=${end}", CNBC Tv18 Prime HD

For the above EXT, tivimate sends the request as GET /catchup/143 Params:[start=1717846200&end=1717848000]
If have a route for /catchup/:channel_id which does the following then catchup should be possible

• Evaluate how many days we need to goto past by start param (need to convert it to IST)
• Send request to jio servers for EPG for the channel for the given date
• Parse the response and find the show where start and end coincide
• Request the m3u8 file from https://jiotvapi.media.jio.com/playback/apis/v1/geturl?langId=6 as in above comment and send it to client

It requires a considerable amount of time to implement this.
Anyway will checkout more on this in the weekend if there is a better way

Not catchup is not working in mobile Jiotv itself for zee channels and many more
