muxa_xtream 0.1.1

Xtream API client for Dart (no UI).

muxa_xtream

An ergonomic Dart client for Xtream Codes IPTV portals. It provides strongly-typed models, resilient HTTP, URL builders for streams, EPG helpers, and optional M3U/XMLTV utilities. Designed to be reliable, secure, and easy to integrate in Dart or Flutter apps.

Important: This package was authored as an experiment to see how far AI‑assisted engineering can go in a real-world library. The codebase, docs, tests, and design decisions were developed with heavy AI assistance and careful human review.

Repository Guidelines

See AGENTS.md for contributor and development guidelines, and CONTRIBUTING.md for workflow rules (verify script, commit format, examples, hooks).

Features

• Strongly-typed Xtream Codes client with clear, consistent errors
• Pluggable HTTP adapter with timeouts, retries, redirects, TLS options
• Cooperative cancellation support across requests and parsing
• URL builders for live, VOD, and series (HLS first with TS fallback)
• EPG helpers including short-EPG and channel-id fallbacks
• M3U and XMLTV helpers for quick ingestion and parsing
• Redaction-first logging to prevent leaking secrets

Getting started

• Install Dart SDK and run dart pub get in the repo.
• Try the example app to exercise the public API as it evolves.
  • dart run example/main.dart --portal https://your.portal/ --user USER --pass PASS
  • The example is updated with every new API addition so you can quickly verify behavior end-to-end.

Usage

• See example/main.dart for live usage of the APIs, including:
  • XtreamClient.getUserAndServerInfo()
  • Catalogs: getLiveCategories, getVodCategories, getSeriesCategories, and corresponding list fetchers
  • Details: getVodInfo, getSeriesInfo
  • EPG: getShortEpg(streamId, limit)
    • Note: some portals serve EPG only by epg_channel_id (not by stream_id). The client API also accepts epgChannelId and, when both are provided, retries internally if the stream_id query returns empty.
  • Diagnostics: ping() and capabilities()
  • URL builders: liveUrl, vodUrl, seriesUrl
  • Probe helper: suggestStreamExtension

Quick start

Use the Xtream Codes client to query account info, catalogs, details, EPG, and build streaming URLs.

import 'package:muxa_xtream/muxa_xtream.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final portal = XtreamPortal(Uri.parse('http://your-portal.example:8080'));
  final creds = XtreamCredentials(user: 'username', pass: 'password');

  final client = XtreamClient(
    portal: portal,
    credentials: creds,
    options: XtreamClientOptions(
      // Tune as needed
      requestTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 15),
      logger: XtreamLogger.stdout(),
    ),
  );

  // Basic health
  await client.ping();
  final features = await client.capabilities();
  print('Features: ${features}');

  // Account and server
  final info = await client.getUserAndServerInfo();
  print('User: ${info.user.username} @ ${info.server.serverName}');

  // Catalogs
  final liveCats = await client.getLiveCategories();
  final live = await client.getLiveStreams(categoryId: liveCats.first.categoryId);
  print('First live channel: ${live.first.name}');

  // URL builders (no I/O)
  final hlsUrl = client.urls.liveUrl(streamId: live.first.streamId);
  print('HLS URL: $hlsUrl');
}

Tip: prefer environment variables or a local-only config file for credentials. Avoid hard-coding secrets.

Examples

• See example/main.dart for a runnable demo that exercises the public API.
• The example prints basic diagnostics and demonstrates catalogs, details, EPG, and URL builders.

---

Capability notes

• Transport: pluggable HTTP adapter with timeouts, retries, redirects, TLS options, and header injection.
• Errors: consistent taxonomy (auth/network/parse/blocked/unsupported) with redaction to avoid leaking secrets.
• Models & parsing: tolerant JSON parsing with UTC normalization.
• URL builders: liveUrl, vodUrl, seriesUrl default to HLS with TS fallback; probing helper available.
• M3U & XMLTV: optional helpers for get.php and streaming XMLTV parse with cancellation.
• Reliability: cancellation and timeouts propagate end-to-end.

---

Install

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  muxa_xtream: ^latest

Then:

dart pub get

---

Troubleshooting

• If a call fails with an HTML response, the portal may be blocked or behind a captive page; check XtPortalBlockedError.
• For 401/403, verify credentials and IP whitelist.
• For timeouts, increase requestTimeout in XtreamClientOptions or check connectivity.

---

Security

• Never commit credentials.
• Logs are redacted by default; avoid logging raw responses that may contain secrets.
• See AGENTS.md for repository and contribution guidelines.

Additional information

• Documentation: see the doc/ folder for API notes, design, and integration guidance.
• Example: run dart run example/main.dart to try common flows end-to-end.
• Issues and contributions: please read AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md, then open issues/PRs with clear repro steps and expected behavior.
• Security: never include credentials in issues; redact sensitive URLs or logs.
