Corrects a mistake in the previous PR (#1151): the URL answers with
HTTP 200 and binary data, but that payload is a raw MP4 fragment
(ftyp/moov boxes), not an HLS or DASH playlist a player can open.
No working replacement was found, so removing it rather than
mis-marking it as fixed.
Follow-up to #1144.
- ERT World was renamed to ERT Cosmos. Added back under the new name,
pointed at the same ERT CDN host used by the other ERT channels
(verified HTTP 200 with a valid DASH manifest).
- Star Central Greece was returning 404 when #1144 was tested (Aug 26)
but is back up now - verified 3x with a real MP4/DASH payload, not
an error page. Restored with its original link.
ERT moved its streams from ert-live.siliconweb.com to
ert-ucdn.broadpeak-aas.com. ERT News still runs on the new host, so it is
repointed rather than removed.
The other five answered 404 on three separate attempts, and I could not
find a working replacement for any of them. Removing the only radio
channel left that section empty, so the heading goes with it.
Channels that merely refused the connection are left alone, since that is
what a channel served only inside Greece looks like from outside it.
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
Follow-up pass on remaining dead small local TV stations, using
alternate CDN paths, Wayback Machine clues, and Twitch/YouTube live
fallbacks where the repo's naming convention supports it. Verified
every replacement URL with curl before applying. Reverted one
agent-reported fix (Switzerland SRF Zwei) that no longer resolved
on independent re-check.
Italy: 9, Hungary: 2, Croatia: 1, North Macedonia: 1, Greece: 1
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.
Argentina: 6 fixed
Czech Republic: 13 fixed
Germany: 1 fixed

Cross-checked against iptv-org's maintained playlists (36 channels
fixed across nine files). Channels without a matching current source
remain marked invalid.
