SS IPTV Channel Identifier
Presentation
This unofficial tool developed with AHK allows you to read and identify the names of channels in a playlist and compare them to the list of standardized channels of SS IPTV.
Several options are available to select the search accuracy of channels including a suggestion system.
Once the identification is complete, a new playlist will be generated by adding the channelId attributes corresponding to the identified channels.
Just upload this new playlist from Playlist editor to take advantage of standardized names, logos and EPG for some channels in SS IPTV
Because of the hundreds of playlists available, this tool will never be able to identify all channels in a playlist because of the following situations:
If the suggestions are not relevant, you can type the first letters of the channel to check if it exists and find a result very quickly.
For best results, read Settings details section.
How to use SS IPTV Channel Identifier?
Some advice before you start:
- First, I invite you to consult Standardized channel names . If the majority of your channels are not present, this tool will be of no use to you.
- It is recommended not to put too large playlist for the simple reason that the treatment can be long. Even more, if you checked "Suggest channels that have a close name".

FAQ
Does SS IPTV channel identifier automatically exclude videos in a playlist?
Yes, but only if the extension is specified in url (.mkv, .avi, .mp4)
Some identified channels don't match to the real name of the channel.
This can happen in some situations, especially on short channel names, reduce the margin of error to avoid this and select "Suggest channels that have a close name".
Is the list of standardized channels is updated when new channels are added by the SS IPTV team?
Yes, the application retrieves the list of IPTV SS standard channels from the official page every 24 hours.
If you want to force the update, use forceupdate option when you run the program => SS-IPTV-Channel-Identifier.exe forceupdate
Is SS IPTV Channel Identifier available for a platform other than Windows?
No.
Is it possible to offer a translation in another language for this tool?
Yes, just translate the texts between quotes below and send it to me by PM to integrate it into the program.
About this tool
This little tool is initially a request that I was asked by some friends. I decided to share it with the SS IPTV community (after a few adjustments).
Thank you for being lenient with this very first shot which will certainly require some improvements.
However, I'm listening to any relevant improvements, questions, bugs or feedback.
