Root cause: Bauer Media Audio Ireland (Today FM, 98FM, Newstalk, Spin
1038, Classic Hits) migrated their stream infrastructure from
stream.audioxi.com to live-bauerie.sharp-stream.com (same mount names,
new host), found via their goloudplayer.com player pages. Sunshine
106.8 moved off sharp-stream onto streamtheworld.com (shared player
config with Nova and Classic Hits' own sites).
FM104 and Dublin's Q102 URLs are unchanged - they were re-verified
returning real audio and appear to have been a transient outage, not
a dead link (worth noting in case #1169's raw-audio-stream detection
fix was also masking these two as false negatives previously).
Note: these URL changes were verified for real audio content (bytes +
correct Content-Type) directly with curl, since check_channels.py
in this repo's history does not yet recognize raw audio/video streams
as alive (see #1169) - verify against that fix once merged.
Sourced current logos for Space TV, Səhiyyə TV, ATV, MTV Azerbaijan,
5Star, Pixel TV and Virgin Media Four from iptv-org's public logo
database (imgur-hosted, cross-referenced against their channel list)
and verified each one visually before swapping it in.
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
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
