I can make changes to the parser code so that such nonsense in the playlist is removed “on the fly”
To do this quickly, I need your playlist for tests... it’s possible with changed tokens, I don’t need them.. it’s important for me that there are group names like you wrote
Ok you have it in pm
I know and I saw it's stupid but I have no way to ask a fix of the m3u8 file.....
& in the playlist i
I can “predict” with 100% certainty that the playlist you are using does not have & , but there is simply a symbol &... Which MUST be represented by default in the xml structure as & ... I very much doubt that double ;amp is created automatically in the template. Please show me the line of the m3u playlist with the name of this group.
here is the line in the m3u8:
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="ChassePeche.fr" tvg-name="FR| CHASSE & PECHE FHD" tvg-logo="" group-title="FR| CULTURE FHD HD",FR| CHASSE & PECHE FHD&
What double amp; mean???
& in the playlist is converted on & in sort and diff files by the plugin.
Hello,
A channel named in a playlist.m3u8 "FR| CHASSE & PECHE FHD" has been added to the sort override file with the name "FR| CHASSE & PECHE FHD" but is also in diff-override with the same name "FR| CHASSE & PECHE FHD"
I think there is a problem if a channel has amp; in its name in m3u8.
Finally found the solution. For this provider there was a sort-override file with these groups enabled. So I delete the file and only selected groups were processed. So sort-override has the priority on groups.db.
Hello,
What is the way to display the content of groups.db? In fact, for a new playlist, I have de-selected some groups from a provider but the plugin processes these groups.
On screenshots you will see the problem.
1st: don't take in account my remark about the [NL] RAKUTEN group. It is now in diff-override with the channels. It wasn't in the file because it has been add between the time process ends and my action with the remote to list groups for this provider.
First, I will add the ability to manually (with the remote control) sort the order of providers... or rather, I have already added... Then, perhaps, I will add the same ability to sort groups in their selection menu. But several nuances need to be taken into account when sorting groups.
1) What to expect if the provider deletes a group from the playlist?
2) What to do if the provider adds a new group to the playlist?
For the sort:
1) I think if a group is deleted from the provider, it has to be deleted from the groups.conf
2) If a new group is added, as currently it has to be checked in the groups view, perhaps at the beginning of the list, I don't know. And if custom sort is enabled this group will be in the diff-override like currently.
After a new batch, another case. A group named [NL] RAKUTEN has been discovered so is checked in the groups list selection. But this group contains 7 channels and these are not displayed as new in the diff-override (not in the sort-override too). I have 3 others new groups that are checked in the groups list and the channels are in the the diff-override file, so eveything is ok for these 3 groups.
Idea: A new sort for the groups list would be welcome, for example checked groups in the beginning of the list and others in alphabetic order. What do you think about this?
Thanks
jeepcook, I'll look at the code again. Perhaps when parsing a playlist I remove “extra” spaces at the beginning and end of the name, but when processing XML I don’t... but later... I’ll now complete the rearranging of providers with the remote control... and only then I’ll look at everything else
I hope I'm clear. I used the group remote control selection function. Selected wanted groups. In the list and in my selection there was [FR] CANAL & CINÉMA.
After that I run e2m3u2 process, the generation of the sort-override was made containing this selected group ([FR] CANAL & CINÉMA) but there was too a generation of a diff-override containing this group with exactly the same name and content. The .tv file corresponding to sort-override doesn't contain channels for the group and the .tv file corresponding to diff-override contains the channels and the group is name [FR] CANAL & CINÉMA with a space at the end.
Ask me if you want I do other tests.
there is a space
This is not SPACE... It's how “something” in unicode is displayed in Enigma2... Open your playlist in any editor on PC that supports unicode characters (emoticons, hands, signs, etc.) and look there
OK, with notepad ++ I can see on few channels a square character, but only after the channel name not in the group name.
Squares are too in other groups which have no problem.
Another thing, this problem doesn't exists with 1.4.
I think it’s not a matter of &... you need to look at the playlist file, most likely there may be non-displayable unicode characters in the group name
Oh yes there is a space after CINÉMA: group-title="[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA "
But I don't know how to solve my problem.
The 1st time the sort-override was created with this group without space. The diff display the same group (and exactly the same content) without this space . And the channels are only in the diff.tv, create with the space at the end of the group name.
Hello,
I have installed the new 1.4.1 version. First of all, great performances. With the previous version I had a 21.5 minutes for the batch and now just 6 minutes!!!
I have a problem with a selected group in my huge playlist. The name of the group is "[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA", in the generated sort.override file I have for this group <groupe name="[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA"> but this group is too seen as new so in the diff.override I have <groupe name="[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA"> too. Perhaps a problem with the "É" character.
Other thing. In the sort.overide file I have 2 groups generated but not viewed as group with the remote control, it's logic because they are empty.
<category enabled="1" name="" nameOverride=""/>
<category enabled="1" name="NoGroup" nameOverride=""/>
This last point is not important because I can disable them in the sort.override file.
Thanks for this great work.
Edit: no it's not a problem with the É character because I have another group with this and there is no problem. So certainly a problem with the "&". I will verify.
Edit2: tried this:
<category enabled="1" name="[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA" nameOverride="[FR] CANAL+ / CINÉMA"/>
but "[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA" is still in diff-override file.
I'm a little bit confused. Is streamlinkproxy able to decode streamlink:// protocol and not only http://localhost:8088 server streams.
I don't know where is my memory this morning 
Hello,
I've installed the new 1.4 version. Everything work great I think. The group selection implementation is very useful and simple to use.
I have just a request, is it possible to add a button "deselect all" in the group selection screen. In fact I have a playlist with 653 groups :face screaming in fear: and I want to select only 13 of them.
Thanks
unselected groups will be in the sort-override
"unchecked" groups will not be included in the sort-override pattern.
I also moved the EPG import setting to the "provider" card and now this is set for each playlist (provider) individually
Ok ok.
Great thing for the EPG import in the provider card.
Just have to wait this version.
Thanks
This new feature will directly do the modification into the diff.override file?
This is the playlist group setting. Bouquets will be created only for selected groups. including only for these groups the sort-override template will be created.
Sorry I wanted to say sort-override ;-)
Ok great. But the unselected groups will be in the sort-override as disabled I suppose. If not they will be detected as new.
This new feature will directly do the modification into the diff.override file?
Hello,
This can be usefull. Tested with this playlist

http://sf8008:8088/https://www.france.tv/franceinfo/direct.htmlBut unfortunately this don't solve sound desynchronization, and France 5 doesn't work by this way but work directly on the receiver, it's strange. I obtain that:
Edit:
On server (receiver), here is the process for France 5:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -nostats -y -i /tmp/streamlinkpipe-23550-1-141 -i /tmp/streamlinkpipe-23550-2-9157 -c:v copy -c:a copy -map 0:v? -map 0:a? -map 1:a -f mpegts pipe:1
And for France 2
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -nostats -y -i /tmp/streamlinkpipe-23589-1-8223 -i /tmp/streamlinkpipe-23589-2-9470 -i /tmp/streamlinkpipe-23589-3-9613 -i /tmp/streamlinkpipe-23589-4-4609 -c:v copy -c:a copy -map 0:v? -map 0:a? -map 1:a -map 2:a -map 3:a -f mpegts pipe:1
Something is missing for France 5
In reality I support ask from sarsan but I don't really need it. I have scripts which do the job:
I have a playlist containing a lot of channels and some pluto tv and samsung tv ones, the epg for this list is named epg.xml
- each day at 8h45 I grab rytec epg and some others
- each hours I generate an epg containing the 8h45 epgs adding a new grab of pluto tv and samsung tv ones, but the epg.xml is the full version only at 9h05
- from 10h05 to day +1 at 8h05, I generate a light epg containing only what I need for my favorite playlist and need to be update so essentially pluto tv and samsung tv. The other events have been imported with the generated epg at 9h05 and it's no needing to import them again for the next 24 hours.
It's just a summary of my manipulations, there are few other options to be sure that 9h05 generated epg is really imported. This description is just to understand how I do to have the solution proposed by sarsan.
