This script grabs EPG data from a Sundtek media server, converts it to XMLTV data and upload the XMLTV data file to a ftp server (optional). The XMLTV data file can be used e.g. by the Kodi's Simple IPTV addon.

sudo cp /opt/sundtek-to-xmltv/sundtek_xmltv.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/sundtek_xmltv.service
