I noticed a problem after installing Pluto TV France that was kindly generated by @joagomez 
My script that checks for channel lineup changes started reporting changes from a specific channel at every scan (every 30 minutes):
Pluto TV France: 129 channels (=)
(http://127.0.0.1:7777/pluto/fr/playlist.m3u)
<--- Lineup changes (starting at 32845) --->
! 32949 : tvg-id="6228b86dbb834e0007b75019" tvg-chno="1195" group-title="Kids" tvg-logo="https://images.pluto.tv/channels/6228b86dbb834e0007b75019/colorLogoPNG.png" tvc-guide-title="Pluto TV Kids Ukraine" tvc-guide-description="Cette chaîne est dédiée à tous les enfants ukrainiens qui se trouvent actuellement en France. (was tvg-id)
<--- Channel changes --->
- tvg-id (32949)
+ tvg-id="6228b86dbb834e0007b75019" tvg-chno="1195" group-title="Kids" tvg-logo="https://images.pluto.tv/channels/6228b86dbb834e0007b75019/colorLogoPNG.png" tvc-guide-title="Pluto TV Kids Ukraine" tvc-guide-description="Cette chaîne est dédiée à tous les enfants ukrainiens qui se trouvent actuellement en France. (32949)
As you can see, the channel name is completely wrong.
My first thought, of course, was that there was a bug in my script.
So I started looking at my code, especially the part that retrieves the channel information. This is done by reading from 'http://dvr-ip:8089/devices` so I viewed the output in the browser and looked for this channels number (32949) and there is something off right there in the json output:
{
"ID": "pluto-pluto-tv-kids-ukraine-fr",
"GuideNumber": "32949",
"GuideName": "tvg-id=\"6228b86dbb834e0007b75019\" tvg-chno=\"1195\" group-title=\"Kids\" tvg-logo=\"https://images.pluto.tv/channels/6228b86dbb834e0007b75019/colorLogoPNG.png\" tvc-guide-title=\"Pluto TV Kids Ukraine\" tvc-guide-description=\"Cette chaîne est dédiée à tous les enfants ukrainiens qui se trouvent actuellement en France.",

},
{
"ID": "pluto-gaming-tv-fr",
"GuideNumber": "32950",
"GuideName": "Gaming TV",

"Description": "La chaîne pour les gamers et tout ce que les gamers adorent ! Gaming TV sélectionne pour vous les dernières et les meilleures infos du monde du jeu. Avis, actualités, interviews, reportages, rétrospectives, livestreams et plus encore !"
},
The field GuideName is incorrect, and other fields are missing.
So the next step was to check the playlist itself for Pluto TV France and this what it looks like:
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="pluto-pluto-tv-kids-ukraine-fr" tvg-id="6228b86dbb834e0007b75019" tvg-chno="1195" group-title="Kids" tvg-logo="https://images.pluto.tv/channels/6228b86dbb834e0007b75019/colorLogoPNG.png" tvc-guide-title="Pluto TV Kids Ukraine" tvc-guide-description="Cette chaîne est dédiée à tous les enfants ukrainiens qui se trouvent actuellement en France.

Everything seems to be in the right place.
I'm guessing that the fact that there are Cyrillic characters is probably the root cause of the problem.
This is what the TV guide looks like on the web UI:
I'm still able to click on a program and watch it:
After listening to it for a minute, I can confirm that it is in Ukrainian, definitely not in French. 
@joagomez I'm guessing you have no control over the contents of the playlist, do you? Because one way to get rid of this problem would be to remove the Cyrillic characters in the playlist itself.
However, this still shows that there seems to be a problem with the way Channels processes that alphabet as seen in the json output.
@tmm1 maybe?
Please advise.
