Malta:
- Smash TV: a3.smashmalta.com no longer resolves. Found the current
stream on the station's own official homepage embed. Verified alive
via check_channels.py (3/3 ok), real HLS media playlist with .ts
segments.
North Korea:
- Ryongnamsan TV: had no URL. Found it on the same reputable
koryofront.org aggregator already used successfully for this file's
existing KCTV entry - it explicitly lists a Ryongnamsan TV stream at
a sibling path. Verified alive via check_channels.py (3/3 ok), real
HLS media playlist with live PROGRAM-DATE-TIME tags.
Researched but left unchanged (no durable fix available):
- Malta: TVM2 and NET TV have real official live streams, but both
require session-bound/time-limited signed tokens (a JWT tied to the
requester's IP with a ~24h expiry, and a 12h start/end token window
respectively) - not usable as a static playlist entry. F Living: no
official web presence found.
- North Korea: Mansudae TV - not offered by the koryofront.org
aggregator or any other source found.
- Taiwan: CTV Classic, CTV Bravo - official site has no live player,
only a program schedule.
- Poland: 4fun Dance - official live player is a third-party embed
with no discoverable static stream URL.
- Latvia: TV24 - official site has no live/tiešraide page, only a
VOD archive.
