How to add two "XMLTV: XMLTV URL grabber" to the docker version of tvheadend？
For example, I want to add "http://epg.51zmt.top:8000/e.xml" and "https://epg.112114.xyz/pp.xml" to "XMLTV: XMLTV URL grabber". How do I do that?

If I recall correctly, XMLTV grabbers are an external package and not actually part of TVH. TVH just uses the grabbers that it finds.

Perhaps you could locate the existing URL grabber on your system and copy/rename it so that you have 2 grabbers or perhaps you could use the combiner grabber to call the URL grabber twice with different parameters.

I believe that's the grabber I submitted to the linuxserver.io docker image.

#!/bin/bash

dflag=

if (( $# < 1 ))
then
  exit 0

OPTARG=""
URL=$1

for arg
do
    delim=""
    case "$arg" in
    #translate --gnu-long-options to -g (short options)
       --description) args="${args}-d ";;
       --version) args="${args}-v ";;
       --capabilities) args="${args}-c ";;
       #pass through anything else
       *) if [ "${arg:0:1}" == "-" ] || delim="\""
          then
           args="${args}${delim}${arg}${delim} "
          else
           OPTARG=${arg}
          fi
    esac
done

#Reset the positional parameters to the short options
eval set -- $args

while getopts "dvc" option
do
    case $option in
        d)  dflag=1;;
        v)  vflag=1;;
        c)  cflag=1;;
        \?) printf "unknown option: -%s\n" $OPTARG
            printf "Usage: %s: [--description] [--version] [--capabilities] \n" $(basename $0)
            exit 2
            ;;
    esac >&2
done

if [ "$dflag" ]
then
   printf "XMLTV URL grabber\n"
   exit 0
fi
if [ "$vflag" ]
then
   printf "0.1\n"
   exit 0
fi
if [ "$cflag" ]
then
   printf "baseline\n"
   exit 0
fi

curl -s "$URL"

exit 0

It only supports 1 URL.
You could modify it to download a list of URL's… But I think you can't simply join them together as is. You would need to merge them properly.

Probably easier to make your own custom script that sends the XMLTV data to the socks thingy and have it scheduled in cron.
