Hi team ssiptv, in the italian epg there is a problem:
The most channels of iptv have name with little words different (for exp: HD, SD at the end of the name)
It possible apply epg for this channels?
The channels are the same, but the iptv distributors add hd and sd for the different video format
I can create a list of this channels ;)
Thanks for your work and i wait your response

You may use any names to differ channels in your list and define channel by tvg-name attribute:

Code: Select all

#EXTINF: 0 tvg-name="Some Channel", Some Channel HD


This channel will be displayed as "Some Channel HD" in the app but it will be recognized as "Some Channel" (for displaying EPG and logo)

But the problem comes from iptv distributors. :(
You can not recognize it automatically?
The channel name with hd or without is the same
