Description

Hi!

TVH supports importing of M3U lists to provide IPTV muxes via scanning, which is all fine and good until one realizes that there's no (documented) support for additional IPTV metadata (channel number, channel name, xmltv channel id, icon url, language, tags, etc.) via #EXTINF: and #EXTTV: tags. For instance:

#EXTINF:duration,[channel number - ]channel name
#EXTTV:[tag1,tag2,...,tagN];lang;xmltv_id[;icon_url]
udp://ip-address:port/path?query

If this functionality is indeed supported, it's completely undocumented (at least my efforts to find any documentation have failed spectacularly).

Can we add this support? If, instead, it's already there, can we offer up clear and concise documentation on how the supported metadata can be specified?

To be fair, this exists: https://github.com/grudolf/m3u2hts, and we can use that. However, ideally TVH should be able to perform this task internally for completeness, and also to cover the event of any future change of channel definition structures.

Thanks!
