telly release with the issue:

Last working telly release (if known):

This is the first release I have installed

Operating environment (Docker/Windows/Linux/QNAP, etc.):

Description of problem: telly appears to successfully run, but it is reporting 0 channels found in the m3u file. See screen output below Command line used On trying to setup live tv on Plex, it finds telly, but again reports 0 channels. If I try to scan for channels I get an error - see screen dump below

Notice the note about channel filtering in README.md

Regex handling changed in 1.0. filter.regex has become blacklist which defaults to blocking everything. If you are not using a regex to filter your M3U file, you will need to add at a minimum --regex.inclusive=true to the command line. If you do not add this, telly will by default EXCLUDE everything in your M3U. The symptom here is typically telly seeming to start up just fine but reporting 0 channels.

edit: also, plex doesn't handle more than 420 channels well, so you'll likely want to use regex filtering if your list contains more than that.

This walkthrough in the wiki may help. There's a demo of this very situation. https://github.com/tellytv/telly/wiki/Standalone-Walkthrough%3A-Linux

Thanks D34DC3N73R. That has pointed me in the right direction. Format of the option has changed in the current release (it is now —filter.regex-inclusive), so now my m3u file is showing 55 channels.

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks; I've fixed the error in the readme.
