Kenya:
- NTV Kenya: nation.africa/kenya/tv/live 404s. Their live simulcast is on
the station's own official YouTube channel (linked from ntvkenya.co.ke
itself); confirmed actually live at verification time (canonical URL
resolved to a /watch?v= page, not the channel page).
Cyprus:
- Kibris TV: the shared sc-kuzeykibrissmarttv.ercdn.net CDN is gone
(DNS NXDOMAIN) for all 6 TRNC channels in this section. Found Kibris
TV's current feed via a Northern Cyprus web-TV aggregator
(old.kuzeykibris.tv), a real rolling HLS media playlist. Verified
alive via check_channels.py (3/3 ok).
- TV 2020: same dead CDN. Its official YouTube channel is confirmed
live now. BRT 1, BRT 2, and Kibris Genc TV/Kanal T were also
researched, but their YouTube channels were NOT live at verification
time (canonical stayed on the channel page) - left unchanged rather
than adding an unreliable "channel not live" link.
Argentina:
- Telefe: the old telefe.com API endpoint is deprecated (redirects to
mitelefe.com, whose live-stream URL is now fetched client-side by JS
and not extractable via curl). Replaced with a verified-alive
third-party restream, the same pattern already used for other
channels in this file (e.g. El Nueve's raw-IP entry). Flagged here
as a fallback, not an official source.
- Aunar, Cine.AR, Tec TV, DeporTV: researched, all confirmed genuinely
dead at their own official infrastructure (squatted/parked domains,
VOD-only platforms, abandoned servers) with no live YouTube
simulcast either - left unchanged, no fix available.
Regenerated playlist.m3u8 and the per-country playlists via
make_playlist.py.

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.
Chile: fix broken NTV link (403), keep existing working T13/Mega links.
Argentina: fix broken El Trece/El Nueve links, switch Canal 26 and
América to direct streams, rename IP Noticias to Argentina/12
(channel rebranded 2025-11-12, Grupo Octubre).
Cherry-picked from #1139 and #1138.

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.
