Philosophy
==========
The main goals for this playlist are listed below.
**Quality over quantity**
The less channels we support the better.
- All channels should work well.
- As much as possible channels should be in HD, not SD.
- Only one URL per channel (no +1, no alternate feeds, no regional declinations)
**Only free channels**
If a channel is normally only available via commercial subscriptions it has nothing to do in this playlist. If on the other hand it is provided for free to everybody in a particular country, then it should be in this playlist.
- No paid channels
- Only channels which are officially provided for free (via DVB-S, DVB-T, analog, etc..)
**Only mainstream channels**
This is a playlist for everybody.
- No adult channels
- No channels dedicated to any particular religion
- No channels dedicated to any particular political party
- No channels made for a country and funded by a different country
Feed sources
============
It can be quite hard to find up to date URLs, here's a list of sources:
- https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/tree/master/streams
- Youtube: As long as the channel is live and its URL doesn't change (check the age of the stream, the number of viewers..)
- Dailymotion: Same criteria as for youtube
Format
======
The m3u8 playlist is generated by `make_playlist.py`, using the `.md` files located in `lists`.
Each .md file represesnts a group. The `` line is used as the group title.
Only channels which URL column starts with `[>]` are included in the playlist.
Channels which are not in HD are marked with an `Ⓢ`.
Channels which use GeoIP blocking are marked with a `Ⓖ`.
Channels which are live Youtube channels are marked with a `Ⓨ`.
Issues
======
Only create issues for bugs and feature requests.
Do not create issues to add/edit or to remove channels. If you want to add/edit/remove channels, create a pull request directly.
Pull Requests
=============
**Only modify .md files**
If your Pull Request modifies channels, only modify .md files. Do not modify m3u8 files in your pull request.
**Adding a new Channel**
To add a new channel, make a Pull Request.
- In your Pull Request you need to provide information to show that the channel is free.
- Use imgur.com to host the channel logo and point to it.
- If you have a valid stream, add it and put `[>]` in front of it.
- If you don't have an stream for the channel, add `[x]()` in the url column and place your channel in the Invalid category.
- If you have a stream but it doesn't work well, put the channel in the Invalid category and put `[x]` in front of the url.
- If you're adding geoblocked URLs specify it in your PR and specify which country they're working in. The PR will only be merged if these URLs can be tested.
**Removing a Channel**
To remove a channel, make a Pull Request.
In your Pull Request you need to provide information to show that the channel is only available via a private paid subscription.
Note: Public taxes (whether national or regional, whether called TV License or not) do not constitute a private paid subscription.
If a stream is broken, simply move the channel to the invalid category and replace `[>]` with `[x]` in the url column.
