What's your filtering strategy?

[wanderleyteixeira]

I was curious about how others are approaching filtering in source.yml. For instance, do you use broader filters like Group ~ "UK..*" to catch all UK groups and then rely on the Threadfin app to refine further and map channels for use in a streaming app?

Personally, I lean towards more specific filters for live channels, such as Group ~ "^.UK..*" AND Name ~ "Sky News.*", to keep things targeted. However, I've noticed that my list tends to grow quite quickly this way and more changes every time I want to add a channel.

I have not even started with VOD or TV Series or Movies categories yet.

Just thought this might make for an interesting discussion—curious to hear your thoughts!

@wanderleyteixeira I use templates to define each fine filter individually and then combine them to form larger filters until I achieve the final filter required for a target.

If you have any suggestions or ideas on how to make this process easier or more efficient, I’d be happy to hear them.
