Went through the open issue backlog and verified each claim against
the live streams with check_channels.py / curl before touching
anything, rather than acting on the reports alone.
Moved to Invalid (2 attempts, both `gone`, re-verified by hand):
- Greece: Start, Thraki Net TV
- Slovakia: Doma, Dajto, Krimi, Markíza TN Live, Jojko (joining the
JOJ-family channels already Invalid - same upstream host, same
missing-channel pattern)
- Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sevdah
- Spain: Nova, La 7 CYLTV, Canal TE24
- USA: NASA TV Public
- USA + zz_news_en: CNN / CNN International - both point at
turnerlive.warnermediacdn.com/.../cnn_slate/..., which returns a
permanently frozen manifest (#EXT-X-PUBLISHED-TIME and
MEDIA-SEQUENCE identical across two fetches 8s apart, dated several
months in the past) - a live-looking HTTP 200 that check_channels.py
currently has no way to catch, since it never compares a URL against
its own earlier response. Also moved the alternate CNN entry in
zz_news_en.md (a raw.githubusercontent.com link that 404s outright).
- Not moved: N1 Bosna i Hercegovina (`disputed` - ffprobe found a real
stream behind the dead-looking HTTP response, needs a human) and
everything reported merely `unreachable`/`blocked` across these
lists - neither is strong enough evidence on its own, see
check_channels.py's own docstring.
Japan: added the Ⓖ marker to the 6 terrestrial channels on mov3.co
(NHK総合, 日本テレビ, テレビ朝日, TBSテレビ, テレビ東京, フジテレビ) -
confirmed HTTP 403 from here on all six, consistent with the
geo-restriction every other Ⓖ-marked channel in this repo already
documents. They were working `[>]` entries with no Ⓖ, which reads as
"this should work from anywhere" when it does not.
Left alone after checking (false alarms / already resolved, not a
list-file problem):
- Croatia HRT 1-4: already Ⓖ-marked and alive.
- Mongolia TenGer TV/TV5/TV9: all 40 Mongolia channels alive.
- Japan Willfonk/naori-test links: already Invalid on master.
- Several `unreachable` entries (Greece ART TV/Epirus TV 1, Croatia's
RTL family, half of Spain, Bosnia's BHT/Glas Drine/etc.) -
`unreachable` means "every attempt timed out or failed to connect
from here", not "confirmed gone" - too weak to act on without a
second opinion, and these didn't get one in this pass.
ran: python3 make_playlist.py (clean regen) + check_channels.py on
every touched list afterward to confirm nothing newly broke and the
moved channels no longer show up as working.
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.
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
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.
Issue #680 asked for several country-music channels; only Stryk TV's
stream URL (from the site's page source) actually resolves to a live
HLS feed. ACN, Stars Over Texas and The Country Network don't expose
a direct stream link on their sites.
