Operator using YAML to filter channels

[Pcsl]

This is not really a bug nor a feature request, as the only thing I need is some help to set up the config file as I'm having serious problems to understand how to work with YAML. What I'm trying is to remove from my list channels that end with mkv (as they are just movies and not real live channels.

I tried following your config file but it says the syntax is not correct when using: - !match(Uri, "mkv").

This is my code:

core:
  server_listen: localhost:8090
  update_schedule: "*/24 * * * *"
  output: m3u
  group_order:
    - Entertainment
    - Family/Kids
    - News
    - Drama
providers:
  - uri: myserverurl
    filters:
      - !match(Uri, "mkv")
    setters:
      - name: replace(Name, "[\\s\\:\\|]+", " ")
      - name: replace(Name, "^VIP ", "")
      - name: replace(Name, "USA", "")
        attributes:
          tvg-id: tvg_id(Name) + ".us"
        filters:
          - Name == "USA CNN"
          - Name == "CNN"
          - Name == "CNN HD"
epg_providers:
  - uri: myserverurl
    channel_id_renames:
      replacement: find # key = what to replace it with, value = what to find
      bbc.uk: "BBC One"

Hi, sorry I've not had a chance to look at this yet. I will hopefully find some time this week. Meanwhile, can you post a little bit of the m3u file? Please make sure you sensor sensitive data (usernames/passwords etc).

Thank you very much for your help as this language is completely new to me. This is a sample of my M3U file.

I would like for example to remove all MKV channels and the ones containing CNN if possible (mainly to understand how it works).

This should do the trick

    filters:
      - |
        !match(Uri, "mkv") &&
        !match(Name, "CNN")

Note, the syntax issue is because of the yaml parser. Not really sure why it's failing but eh. You can bypass it by either using multi-line yaml value (the |), or you can quote your filter (e.g. - '!match(Uri, "mkv")')
