# Converted to Python 3 and revised to support Jellyfin by Casey Avila
# - Added automatic finding of HDHomeRun ip address
# - Added ability to opt out of duration

import requests
import json

ip_request = requests.get("http://ipv4-api.hdhomerun.com/discover");
use_duration = True 

config = {
    # Uses first HDHomeRun found on network
    'hdhr-ip'   : json.loads(ip_request.text)[0]["LocalIP"],
    'duration'  : '7200',
}

hdhr_url        = "http://{}/lineup.json?show=unprotected".format(config['hdhr-ip'])
response_obj    = requests.get(hdhr_url)
listings_res    = response_obj.text

print("#EXTM3U")
listings = json.loads(listings_res)
for l in listings:
    channel = l['GuideNumber']
    name    = l['GuideName']

    print('#EXTINF:-1 tvg-chno="{}" tvg-name="{}",{}'.format(channel, name, name))
    if use_duration:
        print("http://{}:5004/auto/v{}?duration={}".format(
                config['hdhr-ip'],
                channel,
                config['duration'])
        )
    else:
        print("http://{}:5004/auto/v{}".format(
                config['hdhr-ip'],
                channel)
        )

A very handy little script! Thank you. I used it to make an .m3u file to use with Hypnotix on Linux Mint.
