Issue #483: these circled-letter suffixes are in-list markers for
human readers (subscription-required, geo-blocked, YouTube-sourced,
etc.), but were leaking into the generated tvg-name verbatim (e.g.
tvg-name="Rai 1 Ⓖ"), breaking EPG matching for any provider keying
off channel name. Now stripped from tvg-name only; the display name
after the comma still shows the marker as before.
- Cyprus: RIK 1/2/HD's cloudskep.com raw-TS URLs were 404; found a
working UDP-to-HTTP multicast proxy source and verified with real
binary TS data. Ada TV's sc-kuzeykibrissmarttv.ercdn.net domain no
longer resolves; found a working alternate CDN. BRT 1/2, Kıbrıs Genç
TV, Kanal T, Kıbrıs TV, TV 2020 share that same dead domain with no
replacement found - moved to Invalid.
- Moldova: Moldova 1/2 and TVR Moldova had dead URLs, replaced with
current sources (trm.md's own CDN, mncdn.com). Publika TV, Canal 2,
Canal 3 and Prime are all part of the same media group whose
broadcast license was suspended by Moldovan authorities in October
2023 - these aren't broken links, the channels are discontinued.
Vocea Basarabiei and Balti TV are also dead with no fix found.
Moved all to Invalid.
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.
