1) Fixed an issue with handling unrealistically huge playlists with 500,000+ entries... Now, the size of the giant playlists processed by the plugin is limited only by the amount of free space on the storage device (HDD/USD/InternalFlash)
To understand why a playlist can be so huge, it is useful to understand what it contains (Even if you'll find it's not really legal)
- IPTV Live channels from countries all around the world in multiple declinations (H265, UHD, FHD, HD, SD...)
- Movies and TV Shows in a lot of languages. Each episode for a TV Show is one channel in the playlist.
- Full content of platform like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Apple TV+, Paramount+, HBO Max, myCanal .....
- Catchup TV for a lot of channels over a period of 24 or 48h. So a channel is in fact a program, so the number increase very quickly
These playlists can't be read as a simple enigma2 bouquet. It is necessary to use a specific application to watch VOD or Catchup TV programs. But to build enigma2 bouquets tv, e2m3u2b has to process all the playlist. It is necessary to use override method to purge playlist of all the VOD, Catchup TV, and channel groups we don't want to keep (using the enable parameter). It's a long preparation process. But after that, we obtain a playlist with a reasonable number of channels and we can build specific bouquets containing only interesting channels.
That's what I do.
