Corrects a mistake in the previous PR (#1151): the URL answers with
HTTP 200 and binary data, but that payload is a raw MP4 fragment
(ftyp/moov boxes), not an HLS or DASH playlist a player can open.
No working replacement was found, so removing it rather than
mis-marking it as fixed.
Follow-up to #1144.
- ERT World was renamed to ERT Cosmos. Added back under the new name,
pointed at the same ERT CDN host used by the other ERT channels
(verified HTTP 200 with a valid DASH manifest).
- Star Central Greece was returning 404 when #1144 was tested (Aug 26)
but is back up now - verified 3x with a real MP4/DASH payload, not
an error page. Restored with its original link.
Added to the existing Rチャンネル/Rakuten section: NTV News (日テレNEWS),
FNN Prime Online (FNNプライムオンライン), and MBS News (MBSニュース),
via Rakuten's official Amagi CDN (cdn-apne1/cdn-uw2-prod.tsv2.amagi.tv),
same source already used for the existing Tokyo MX channel.
Verified HTTP 200 for all three, not geo-blocked.
ERT moved its streams from ert-live.siliconweb.com to
ert-ucdn.broadpeak-aas.com. ERT News still runs on the new host, so it is
repointed rather than removed.
The other five answered 404 on three separate attempts, and I could not
find a working replacement for any of them. Removing the only radio
channel left that section empty, so the heading goes with it.
Channels that merely refused the connection are left alone, since that is
what a channel served only inside Greece looks like from outside it.
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.
Found current Commons/Wikipedia file names for logos whose old files
were renamed or superseded (TF1, 6ter, RMC Découverte, Chérie 25,
TVP1-3, İctimai TV, CStar, UTV, MBC, UBC TV, Chamber TV, Venevisión,
Sky News Australia, KVF Sjónvarp, Telenorba, ReTV), reused an
already-working duplicate row for NRJ 12 and TaiwanPlus, and verified
every replacement resolves and shows the right logo.
ITV2, ITV3, and Challenge logos were pointing at Wikimedia files that
no longer exist; restored the imgur-hosted logos these rows used
before they were switched over.
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
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.

ATV, Hír TV, and Izaura TV logos moved to Wikimedia Commons; Fix TV
(YouTube-only channel, no working website) uses its YouTube channel
avatar. M3's onlinestream.live logo left as-is — no Wikipedia page
exists for it and the channel itself is already marked dead.
Official atv.hu/streamservers.atv.hu endpoints are currently down;
the 88.212.15.19 mirror (already used for several other Hungarian
channels) serves a working direct stream instead of relying on
YouTube.
M1, M2, M5 and Duna TV had expired connectmedia.hu session tokens
(404) — replaced with the working 88.212.15.19 mirror already used
for other Hungarian channels. M4 Sport's connectmedia.hu link is
also dead but no working replacement was found (marked dead).
Hír TV's onlinestream.live link returned HTTP 200 but with an empty
stream URL in the manifest (functionally broken); no alternative
public stream was found, so marked dead rather than left silently
non-functional.
Also re-verified all regional stations: fixed Gyöngyös TV and
Kecskemét TV with working alternates, and marked AlföldTV, Kapos TV,
Lóverseny közvetítés, Zugló TV, Bajai TV and Tisza TV dead after
confirming their current links are unreachable with no replacement
found.
Follow-up pass on remaining dead small local TV stations, using
alternate CDN paths, Wayback Machine clues, and Twitch/YouTube live
fallbacks where the repo's naming convention supports it. Verified
every replacement URL with curl before applying. Reverted one
agent-reported fix (Switzerland SRF Zwei) that no longer resolved
on independent re-check.
Italy: 9, Hungary: 2, Croatia: 1, North Macedonia: 1, Greece: 1
New country page sourced from a community-submitted playlist, with
every entry re-checked against its current live stream before
inclusion. 13 working channels (MTV Lebanon, Tele Liban, Al Manar,
Al Mayadeen, Voice of Lebanon, Noursat family, etc.), 9 more kept in
an Invalid section for channels that no longer resolve.
Sourced from the actively-maintained i.mjh.nz/.r/ resolver (Matt
Huisman's AU Freeview mirror project), which redirects to fresh,
tokenized CDN URLs on each request. Confirmed live for Seven, 7two,
7mate, 7flix, Nine, 10, 10 Peach, 10 Shake. SBS/NITV are no longer
carried by this mirror (still invalid).
Final round of the country-by-country pass against the CI
failed-channel report. Verified every replacement URL with curl
before applying. Spain VOD (all HQM Radio, provider backend down)
and USA VOD (all Bumblebee TV, CDN provider discontinued) had zero
fixable entries — confirmed the entire underlying providers are
gone, not just individual links.
Andorra, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Latvia,
Lithuania, Moldova, Netherlands, North Korea (KCTV), Peru,
San Marino: 1-2 each. VOD Italy: 10. News/Business/Weather: 4.
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
Both domains are now fully unreachable (DNS failure / connection
refused), confirmed on repeated checks. 27 USA VOD and 18 Spain VOD
entries were still marked valid despite the backing CDN being gone.
Continued the country-by-country pass against the CI failed-channel
report. Verified every replacement URL with curl before applying.
Also fixed a malformed nested-bracket markdown link in belarus.md.
China: 10, Portugal: 5 (+2 duplicates removed), Poland: 6,
Korea: 2, Albania: 3, Australia: 4, Belarus: 3,
Bosnia and Herzegovina: 1, Iraq: 3, North Macedonia: 2,
Canada: 3, India: 1, Taiwan: 3, Chile: 1, Sweden: 1
The whole www.tvkaista.net/stream-forwarder/get.php proxy is now
returning 502 Bad Gateway, so several Poland/Slovenia rows that were
still marked valid were actually broken. Replaced TVP1, TVP Polonia,
TVP Info, TVP World with working alternatives; the rest are marked
invalid pending a working replacement (TV SLO 1/2/3 candidates found
but not yet verified due to a fetch rate limit).
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.
Argentina: 6 fixed
Czech Republic: 13 fixed
Germany: 1 fixed
Greece: 6 fixed
News: 14 fixed
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
