Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#4

Including an IPTV channel filter, similar to https://iptvfilter.com/ possibly with individual channel selection would be a good option.

There is a smaller list - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iptv-org/iptv/master/channels/us.m3u
with only 860 entries as of now(no Pluto/STIRR/etc). Maybe bumping the limit to 1000 would work?

There is an existing but abandoned project in Golang - https://github.com/hoshsadiq/m3ufilter which could be incorporated into the DVR server or run as a service and pull in only kosher urls.

The whole point of the online filters is that they refresh for you. So you can get a filtered list from them, and they refresh it so the urls are up to date. You set your refresh rate in Channels and everything works.

that's what the DVR server could do (in the future version ;- )

Are you going to pollute these forums with the same roundabout asinine comments that you flooded the SD forums with? If you have nothing constructive to offer, then please refrain from commenting.

Those IPTV lists from the OP contain a bunch of pirated channels so a forum admin may want to take this thread down...

Maybe we should let github handle this?
I also wanted to apologize for being a slow learner and causing frustration. I just needed to get familiar with the lineup editor a bit more. :innocent:

Thanks for the quick response. I wanted to run this on my Synology NAS. Managed ok until the patch command. Patch is not found on the system.

#19

Use:

$ git apply --ignore-whitespace  LvKf4Q66

if you don't have patch

Please try to keep the trolling in here to a minimum. None of these decisions we've made are due to lack of skill.

All software engineering is about trade-offs. We've made trade-offs that the serve the majority of our customers and there are always going to be some people who have needs that are outside what we are targeting.

Thank you!

@eric not sure why are you taking this so personally? Are we allowed to provide feedback? The times are changing and more people are watching online. It would be nice if Channels allowed to do so comfortably. I, for example, watch Deutsche Welle online because the quality is better than my local SD broadcast. 1080p vs. 480i. EPG is coming from the local OTA which is a very nice feature of the product. Unless ATSC 3.0 is around the corner everywhere, some accommodations for online watching with copious amounts of channels will have to be made.

Have to be made? Have. To. Lol.
