zz_news_en:
- LiveNOW from FOX: lnc-fox-live-now.tubi.video no longer resolves.
Replaced with the Amagi-hosted feed already used for the same
channel under lists/usa.md's "FOX Live Now" entry. Verified alive
via check_channels.py (3/3 ok).
Serbia:
- RTS 3: the old udp-multicast-proxy URL (185.81.240.65:15000) is
unreachable. Found the current feed on the same official bhtelecom.ba
CDN already used for RTS 1 and RTS 2 in this file. Verified alive via
check_channels.py (3/3 ok), real HLS master playlist with two
variants.
Researched but left unchanged (no fix available):
- zz_news_en: The Guardian, CBC News Network, Sky News Now (AU), i24
News, CNBC Europe, CNBC Indonesia, Pluto TV News - official
infrastructure down, geo/paywall-gated, or no public stream exists.
CNN (line 36) was not touched - the only replacement found is the
exact same feed already used by the "CNN International" row in this
file, which would just be a duplicate entry, not a distinct fix.
- Moldova: Publika TV group and Balti TV - official domains gone, no
replacement found.
- Serbia: Euronews Serbia has a real working stream, but it requires a
custom Referer header this repo's plain-URL playlist format can't
carry - not usable as a drop-in fix. Red TV - no replacement found.
- Slovakia: every channel points at a domain (sktv.mxnticek.eu) that is
completely down. Found working replacements for 3 channels via
STVR's own JSON endpoint, but those URLs embed a short-lived signed
token that expires - not usable as a static playlist entry (same
reasoning as the Sweden Solidtango tokens rejected earlier). No
durable fix currently available for this file.
- Montenegro: no dead channels found.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina: BHT 1's URL times out, but it's confirmed to
be the exact URL BHRT's own official site uses internally - looks
like a genuine infra/geo outage at the source, not a stale link, so
left unchanged. No fix found for Federalna TV, TV BPK, Kanal 6, TNT
Kids, Sevdah, RTV Glas Drine, TVSA, RTV TK.
Regenerated playlist.m3u8 and the per-country playlists via
make_playlist.py.

Found current Commons/Wikipedia file names for logos whose old files
were renamed or superseded (TF1, 6ter, RMC Découverte, Chérie 25,
TVP1-3, İctimai TV, CStar, UTV, MBC, UBC TV, Chamber TV, Venevisión,
Sky News Australia, KVF Sjónvarp, Telenorba, ReTV), reused an
already-working duplicate row for NRJ 12 and TaiwanPlus, and verified
every replacement resolves and shows the right logo.
Wikimedia now rejects direct thumbnail requests for widths outside the
fixed set 20/40/60/120/250/330/500/960/1280/1920/3840px. Rounded all
remaining off-size occurrences to the nearest allowed width.
Wikimedia only serves fixed thumbnail widths (20/40/60/120/250/330/
500/960/1280/1920/3840px); 640px returns a 400 error. Switched all
occurrences to the nearest allowed size, 500px.
Fixes#1135
Final round of the country-by-country pass against the CI
failed-channel report. Verified every replacement URL with curl
before applying. Spain VOD (all HQM Radio, provider backend down)
and USA VOD (all Bumblebee TV, CDN provider discontinued) had zero
fixable entries — confirmed the entire underlying providers are
gone, not just individual links.
Andorra, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Latvia,
Lithuania, Moldova, Netherlands, North Korea (KCTV), Peru,
San Marino: 1-2 each. VOD Italy: 10. News/Business/Weather: 4.
Continued the country-by-country pass against the CI failed-channel
report. Verified every replacement URL with curl (including retrying
with player-style user agents where a host blocked generic UAs)
before applying. Japan, UK, and Croatia batches from this round
yielded no confident fixes (mostly geo-blocked national broadcasters
or no findable replacement) and were left untouched.
