Stores the failed-channel snapshot as a workflow artifact (90-day
retention) and downloads the previous run's artifact for comparison,
instead of committing a state file back to the repo.
Weekly trend workflow: runs the full iptv-checker weekly, keeps a
snapshot of failed URLs in .github/checker-history/failed.txt, and
reports newly-broken vs newly-recovered channels since the last run
in the job summary.
PR check workflow: on any PR touching lists/*.md, extracts only the
added/changed stream links from the diff and checks just those (not
the whole 2000+ channel playlist), reporting online/failed results
directly in the PR's Checks summary.
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
New country page sourced from a community-submitted playlist, with
every entry re-checked against its current live stream before
inclusion. 13 working channels (MTV Lebanon, Tele Liban, Al Manar,
Al Mayadeen, Voice of Lebanon, Noursat family, etc.), 9 more kept in
an Invalid section for channels that no longer resolve.
Sourced from the actively-maintained i.mjh.nz/.r/ resolver (Matt
Huisman's AU Freeview mirror project), which redirects to fresh,
tokenized CDN URLs on each request. Confirmed live for Seven, 7two,
7mate, 7flix, Nine, 10, 10 Peach, 10 Shake. SBS/NITV are no longer
carried by this mirror (still invalid).
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 before applying.
Denmark, Turkey, Trinidad, Norway, Macau, Bulgaria, Switzerland,
Nigeria, Hong Kong, Romania, Montenegro yielded no confident fixes
this round (mostly geo-blocked broadcasters, confirmed-dead hosts
with no findable replacement, or false-positive checker failures)
and were left untouched.
Israel: 5, Egypt: 4, Venezuela: 4, Georgia: 2, Belgium: 1 (+1 dup
removed in azerbaijan.md), Somalia: 4, Ireland: 4, Austria: 2,
Serbia: 1, Saudi Arabia: 1, Ukraine: 2, Slovenia: 1, Mexico: 3,
Kenya: 1, Costa Rica: 1, Brazil: 2, Iran: 1
Both domains are now fully unreachable (DNS failure / connection
refused), confirmed on repeated checks. 27 USA VOD and 18 Spain VOD
entries were still marked valid despite the backing CDN being gone.
Continued the country-by-country pass against the CI failed-channel
report. Verified every replacement URL with curl before applying.
Also fixed a malformed nested-bracket markdown link in belarus.md.
China: 10, Portugal: 5 (+2 duplicates removed), Poland: 6,
Korea: 2, Albania: 3, Australia: 4, Belarus: 3,
Bosnia and Herzegovina: 1, Iraq: 3, North Macedonia: 2,
Canada: 3, India: 1, Taiwan: 3, Chile: 1, Sweden: 1
The whole www.tvkaista.net/stream-forwarder/get.php proxy is now
returning 502 Bad Gateway, so several Poland/Slovenia rows that were
still marked valid were actually broken. Replaced TVP1, TVP Polonia,
TVP Info, TVP World with working alternatives; the rest are marked
invalid pending a working replacement (TV SLO 1/2/3 candidates found
but not yet verified due to a fetch rate limit).
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
Greece: 6 fixed
News: 14 fixed
Cross-referenced the CI iptv-checker's failed-channel report against
each country list, verified every replacement URL with curl before
applying, and removed one genuine duplicate (Telecolor International).
Real geo-blocked national-broadcaster 403s and CI-runner false
positives (esp. HTTP 408 timeouts, which turned out unreliable) were
left untouched rather than guessed at.
Italy: 6 fixed, 1 duplicate removed
Spain: 16 fixed
Russia: 3 fixed
UAE: 13 fixed
USA: 10 fixed
The config's files list still referenced the README's placeholder
filenames (playlist1.m3u, playlist2.m3u), which don't exist in this
repo, so the linter was silently checking nothing. Point it at the
real playlist.m3u8, drop the noisy full-file cat dump, and surface
its output in the job summary like the iptv-checker step.
Add a job summary listing the failed channels and upload the full
online.m3u/failed.m3u results as a build artifact, instead of running
the checker and discarding its output.
G1 TV and W9 now point to verified working streams. Removed dead
tntendirect.com/edge duplicate rows for TF1, France 5 and TFX where
a working stream for the same channel already existed elsewhere in
the file.
Cross-referenced TDTChannels' maintained playlist against dead/missing
entries: removed a duplicate dead TV3 row in spain.md (TV3Cat already
covers it), and added new working channels to mexico.md (7), peru.md (3),
and usa.md (7). All new stream URLs verified live.
ATV+ Noticias moved off its old CDN link; switched to the official
YouTube live channel. Karibeña TV's frequency now carries Exitosa's
programming, so the entry is repointed accordingly.
Bulgaria, Moldova, Macau, Georgia, Greece channels
Cross-checked against iptv-org's maintained playlists (36 channels
fixed across nine files). Channels without a matching current source
remain marked invalid.
Cross-checked against iptv-org's maintained playlists (26 channels
fixed across the five files). Channels without a matching current
source remain marked invalid.
UK: ITV1, ITV2, Channel 5, TJC, TBN UK, True Crime, Talking Pictures TV,
Together TV, BBC News and TalkTV restored using current sources
cross-checked against iptv-org. Removed now-redundant duplicate rows
from the Invalid section for channels fixed in their proper table.
Azerbaijan: moved İctimai TV and Xəzər TV out of Invalid into the DVB-S
table now that working sources were found.
Cross-checked against iptv-org's maintained playlists. Only channels
with a confirmed current match were updated; smaller/regional channels
without a matching iptv-org entry remain marked invalid.
Replace dead IRIB/presstv and France broadcaster links with current
working streams, cross-checked against iptv-org's maintained playlists.
Several entries (IRIB TV5, Jame Jam, Sahar variants, France 2/3, C8, W9,
NRJ 12, TF1 Séries Films, L'Équipe, RMC Découverte, Chérie 25) still have
no verified working source and remain marked invalid.
The media company behind the channel was previously ~88% owned by Hungarian companies believed to be closely related to Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán. Their share now is currnetly undisclosed and believed to be mostly owned by members of SDS (Slovenian Democratic Party), the far-right party that established it.
SDS is known for it's anti-immigration, anti-islamic and anti-semitic rhetoric, spreading lies about important politicians and individuals, defunding the Slovenian Press Agency and sowing division in media and state.
via #880
Latina TV is already listed; inter TV was already added previously.
Assigned chno 12/13 to avoid colliding with the existing chno=1
(Venevisión), and normalized the AS3 Sport TV EPG id to drop the
embedded space for consistency with other entries.

group, name, logo and epg values are embedded unescaped into quoted
#EXTINF attributes (tvg-name, tvg-logo, tvg-id, group-title). A value
containing a double quote can break out of its attribute and inject
arbitrary extra attributes/content into the generated playlist.
Strip embedded double quotes from these fields at parse time.

Add ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes via tvg-country attribute
to all #EXTINF lines, enabling IPTV players to filter and display
channels by country.

* Improve make_playlist.py code quality and fix bugs
- Fix group name bug: replace underscores with spaces before title()
so filenames like north_korea.md produce "North Korea" not "North_Korea"
- Fix resource leaks: use context managers for all file handles including
EPG list and per-country playlist files
- Remove os.chdir() global side effect: use absolute paths derived from
the script location instead
- Avoid calling to_m3u_line() twice per channel by caching the result
- Fix redundant trailing colon in filename[:-3:] slice
- Consistent use of write() for headers instead of mixing print/write
- Strip blank lines from EPG URL list when reading
* Skip commit and push when playlist has no changes
Prevents the workflow from failing with exit code 1 when the generated
playlist is identical to the previous run and there is nothing to commit.
* Use current branch instead of hardcoded master for push
Replace hardcoded origin/master reference with @{u} (upstream of current
branch) for the diff check, and use HEAD for the push target so the
workflow works correctly on any branch.
