Not keeping the #EXTINF

[asfixia]

HI, great job with this tool.

But i have one problem, you could please solve this? The result file only contains the links not the chanel title resulting on a bunch of "no name" channels.

Actually is not a bug that iptv check have , the reason is that there are multiple ways to build an iptv list , and i build iptv-check for the one i could find . Thanks for dropping your iptv list here , this way i can adapt the script for your type of list too , however since i am moving to gitlab , you problably have to clone the script from my future account in gitlab instead here on github . When that happens you will know because i will update my github with the new information . Maybe during the next week i get some time to adapt the iptv-check to your iptv list .

Thank you for the rapid response!

If you could solve this, it wold be great. And if you are interested in an IPTV list generator, i created a script wich join multiple m3u from download links and use your tool to filter the valid entries.

---

The script: https://pastebin.com/ieCQWeHu A iptv_lists.txt example: https://pastebin.com/83vUQaUY

To use: create a file named "iptv_lists.txt" Put one link by line save.

And run the script in the same directory of your tool.

Use if you want.

Hi again,

I'm not sure if it always works but worked for me. Changed the writefile function:

function writefile() {
# checks if tool already created previously an m3u file
if ! [[ -f "$wfile" ]]
then
echo "#EXTM3U" > "$wfile"
echo "" >> "$wfile"
fi
#searchs for that specific url in original file and get line number
gturlline=$(grep -n "${chkf}"<$path/temp/1 | tr ":" "\n" | sed -n 1p)
# This variavble will get the line number before the previous url (this is to get channel name)
defline=$((gturlline-1))
stdata=$(sed -n "${defline}p"< $path/temp/1)
echo "$stdata" >> "$wfile"
echo "$chkf" >> "$wfile"
echo "" >> "$wfile"
}

Edited yes , that was one of the issues that i fixed in 1.1 , only now i notice witch part of the code you changed , however other things had to be done , like cleaning the empty urls like 0.0.0.0 witch iptv-check was testing with no logic . This last part i also fixed it up .

Last post : Nop , it must not be that way because it may work for your specific iptv list but it will not work for the others iptv lists i tested . I know how to solve it , i will problably do it during next week . In mean while if you want to help then drop here some more different iptv lists so i can adapt the script to them all . The iptv lists should have 3 or 4 stream links working at least so i can test them in the script .

Hello @peterpt , you can use this playlist for testing : http://playlist.autoiptv.net/movie.php?title=epg

or

this :

      http://playlist.autoiptv.net/normal.php?title=epg

Thanks

iptv-check is unable to download directly that file because the final file is requested thru a php script in the server , in that case you should download the file to your computer (the iptv list) and scan it with the script , but the script is writing only the valid urls to the final iptv list . I will deal with it as soon as i get some free time here .

[m7mdcc]

yeah , i'm doing that right now , can we speed up the process ? its take 500 per 15 min's

[peterpt]

not advised because if the stream from the server takes a little more to arrive then the script may consider that link as OFF when in reality could be ON . Personally i think that this script is already on the time request limit , because if some server is overloaded with requests , sometimes some links can appear as OFF when they are ON in reality . right now it waits 4 seconds from server , that time could be changed in line 234 of the script . Where it says "sleep 4" witch means 4 seconds , if you change it to "sleep 2" it will wait only 2 seconds for the file before checking its size . It is not advised because you probably will get false negatives like i told you before . Maybe in future i may use multiple instances of wget to check the streams , this means that in your case with 2 instances of wget working you will get 1000 links checked in 15 minutes , but as also there is a problem in that , witch is that some iptv servers only allow 1 connection by ip , in that case when the 1st instance of wget is downloading , the other instance will fail to get the file and will report it as OFF .

Hi, really great work. Addendum there's another playlist format, like:

EXTINF:-1, CHANNEL

Http://188.165.216.211:1935/adalmada/adalmada.stream/live.m3u8 Http://paraisotv.ddns.net:80/031/myStream/live.m3u8

With secondary/alternative channels, you could implement "CHANNEL 2 ", in duplicate name cases.

Project moved to gitlab . In 1.1 the first list https://pastebin.com/5CmTv8D2 is now working correctly , and i also fixed other bugs . list posted by m7mdcc , is also working fine .

This issue will be closed , and new issues should be posted on gitlab .
