Very strange thing for the series sorting, it works perfectly fine before 1.73, sad it’s removed, unfortunately my provider doesn’t sort series alphabetical, only episodes are sorted, but to find a series it’s a nightmare and I prefer to use the default channel browser.
I have a DM900 and about 130000 episodes of series, the playlist generation is very fast, no more 30 seconds.
For the user agent, apparently gstreamer use a default Firefox user agent and you can change it just by adding a new one directly after the stream link adress.
My iptv provider use dynamic link redirection, so if user-agent is blocked, no redirection to the correct stream link address, and I don’t know why, but last week my provider changed something and he specifically blocked all Firefox user-agent, so black screen, even on computer, if I use Firefox to watch a stream I have an error, but using chrome or edge, no problem.
It was a nightmare to find the issue, because no trace in enigma2 log etc.
So I changed it for a blank User-Agent in my playlists by adding "#User-Agent=" in the link just before the stream channel name and now it working fine as it’s only a Firefox user-agent blocking.
#SERVICE 4097:0:XX:XXXX:XXXX:XXX:XXXXXX:0:0:0:http%3a//provideradress%3aPort/#User-Agent=:ChannelName
No problem with Service App and ext3player because it doesn’t use Firefox user-agent, but I can’t record so I prefer to use default gstreamer.
For now I directly added it to buildbouquets.py and now all my generated playlists include this blank user-agent as it works for any other iptv providers.
Maybe a new setting like a “Custom argument” setting in the playlist settings, inside we can put anything we want add to every generated url stream link.
