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.
Issue #427: the 4ce5e2d62ee2c10e43c709f9b87c44d5.streamhost.cc CDN used
by 9 Belgian channels is only partially alive - Tipik still works, but
RTL-Be, La Une, Club RTL, La Trois, Plug RTL, Canvas, VTM, VIER and VIJF
all 404. Marked those invalid. EEN, LN24, RTS Un and RSI (raw-IP hosts)
time out at the connection level rather than returning an HTTP error -
left as-is since that could be a Belgium/Switzerland-only block rather
than genuinely dead, and can't be told apart from here.
Switzerland: TVO's Kaltura URL now 404s, marked invalid.
Issue #409: ye23.vip (used by KBS 2TV, KBS News D, KBS Drama, KBS Joy,
KBS Kids, KBS Life, KBS Story, KBS World - 8 channels) is DNS-sinkholed,
resolving to 127.0.0.1 - the domain's been taken down. MBC TV's URL
404s. KBS 1TV, EBS (all variants), SBS TV, Arirang, CJB/JIBS/OBS TV are
confirmed working. KNN/KBC/TJB/UBC/JTV TV time out at the TCP level -
could be genuinely dead or Korea-only firewalled, left as-is since that
can't be told apart from here.
Fixed NHK World Japan, TRT World and Bloomberg TV with working sources.
Sky News was missing its Ⓖ marker (403 is the expected UK-only
geo-block, not dead). Moved 22 channels with no working replacement
found (Channel 4, E4, Film4, 4Music, 4seven, Arise News, BBC World
News, Create & Craft, GemsTV, Hobby Maker, Jewellery Maker, Kerrang!,
KISS, Magic, PBS America, TalkTV, The Box, EarthXTV, TJC, SportyStuff
TV, France 24, Ideal World) to Invalid. Partial progress on #703.
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.
The 212.79.122.11:5014 UDP-relay server (1+1 Ukraina, Inter, 2+2, M1,
Mega, K1, Enter-Film, TET, ДІМ) refuses connections now. Fixed 9
channels with working sources (mostly stream.mcquack.net / antik.sk).
6 more on the same dead server (Bigudi, Novyi Kanal, ПлюсПлюс,
Ми — Україна, Оце ТБ, Піксель TV) had no replacement found - marked
Invalid. Also fixed/cleaned up entries on a separate dead
nashnet.tv/ott.blue/tvstitch.com cluster. Partial progress on #986.
Spain: Televisión Melilla's domain no longer resolves, marked
Invalid (#1012 - no working replacement found for it or Rioja TV).
- Telenorba was added via YouTube live (issue #1015 asked for the
play.telenorba.it site). That site is a JS SPA; traced its player
bundle to play.norbaonline.it, which resolves to the same
live-telenorba.cdn.netrw.it CDN already used by Antenna Sicilia.
Swapped in the direct HLS master playlist.
- Added TG Norba 24 as a separate channel (same CDN, different path),
with its Wikimedia Commons logo.
- Antenna Sud / Antenna Sud Extra (live.antennasudwebtv.it:9443) now
time out; replaced with working URLs from the sibling
live-antennasud.cdn.netrw.it CDN.
