Erku Web Manager not working

[erickutcher]

You'll have to give more details. What system are you running it on and what web server software are you using? Are there any error messages?

The latest version of PHP and the SQLite PHP extension are required.

I can't test that because it requires a login. Also, it's not the same app that I developed. The Web Manager only works with the Erku IPTV client and won't work for anything else.

Hi, it would be great if you could add the option to play iptv m3u lists, where we just add the URL that contains the lists. Do you think that is possible? Without having to use a local server.

It's possible, but it would be incredibly slow and would probably crash the app. Roku's don't have the necessary code to process large m3u/m3u8 lists efficiently. That's why I have the server side code to do the heavy lifting.

I use a free web host to manage things so that I don't have to keep my computer on.

I mentioned it to you because this app does what I told you, it plays m3u lists, and it plays them well, I haven't noticed any problems.

Check it out and you'll see that you can play lists with many channels without any problem.

I've done something like that in an old app, but when it comes to IPTV playlists, there could be hundreds of thousands of entries and that will crash the app. To handle something like that it needs to be broken up into chunks and loaded on the fly. That's why this app requires a server to retrieve the processed playlists.

Amazon Fire Sticks can handle large playlists because it can cache the entries in SQLite databases. Roku doesn't have anything like that and it would have to reload everything every time it starts. I want this app to be fast so I'll stick with the server for now.

Please enable the upload of m3u lists, it doesn't matter if the app crashes, leave it there in the repository to download and test it.

Please

Hello, a question which free web server can I use? Can you recommend one please?

[erickutcher]

it doesn't matter if the app crashes

Crashes are never acceptable. I can't compromise on that. Besides, that's what the web server files are for. It prevents potential crashes by only loading what's necessary.

which free web server can I use?

There's plenty of links on Google if you type "free web hosting". You just gotta make sure it has the latest version of PHP and SQLite. If you have a microcomputer like a Raspberry Pi or ODROID, then that would be a better solution.

Erku Web Manager is not working for me!
Hosted on: VPS Server With: Apache --> PHP 8.3 and SQL Lite.
Tested too in: Shared Hosting --> PHP 8.2 and 8.1 and SQL Lite.

After loading the m3u list into the script (like example --> https://MYDNSSERVERIPTV.com:80/get.php?username=XXXXXXX&password=XXXXX&type=m3u_plus&output=hls ),
clicking the 'Download', 'Create Database', OR 'Process TV' buttons has no effect whatsoever! The sqlite databases remain unchanged, and the script doesn't even show any signs of activity.

[erickutcher]

Check the file/folder permissions to make sure the databases folder can be written to.

If you have access to a command-line you can test the download script by navigating to the manager folder and running this command: php download_url.php --type 0 --url https://www.example.com/index.html

If there's an error, then PHP will tell you what it is. If not, then it'll say "Download finished in x seconds."

I'm thinking it's a permissions problem.

You could create a cron job that downloads your playlist using wget or curl. As long as it saves it into the databases folder, then everything will still work. If you create 4 more crons that run the process_playlist.php, process_epg.php, process_vod_movies.php, and process_vod_series.php scripts, then it'll keep the databases up to date. The playlist, movies, and series should probably be updated once a day, and the epg once every couple of hours.

@xoceunder

http://rokuapp.ddns.net:8080/manager/create_databases.php is failing. It's returning HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error.

Something isn't configured correctly on your server and that script is failing to load.

You can try running that script from a command-line to see if it throws out any errors.

Mine was doing the same thing, failing and not doing anything.

quick fix was to change 2 lines (45 & 46) in the /manager/requests.js

var g_request_path = "/"; // For get_content.php requests.
var g_manager_request_path = g_request_path + "/manager";

changed to

var g_request_path = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname;
var g_manager_request_path = g_request_path;
