11 months ago Hi, Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the late reply: I've been busy. It looks to me that the only difference between the original entry and the one produced by the m3udoctor module is that the value of the tvg-logo fields has been url-encoded. I don't know how familiar you are with URLs and HTTP requests in general, but - in a nutshell - the standard says that certain characters, when present in a URL string, have to be encoded with a %XY form. For example, some commas in your entries have been converted to the %2C code.
how would these manifest as errors or issues?
The most common http clients take care of encoding these characters before sending a request, but some of them don't and might crash.
Are you aware of some script, or program similar to m3udoctor.py, that
checks and repairs xmltv ?
I'm not, sorry. I still haven't looked into XTMLTV.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.

Just found this program and have some questions. I primarily use tvheadend, with an iptv provider. In tvheadend, the original m3u8 seems to be fine, no issues with display of the playlist. Your m3udoctor.py, makes some minor changes, as below. Referencing the original m3u8, how would these manifest as errors or issues?
