Name with Periods

[12nick12]

I'm trying to match channel names with Periods. The below is one of them. Would you be able to provide me with the correct regex to get this working. I've tried all of the follow and none of them work. The last one creates an error.

I254.59337.schedulesdirect.org

{
  "name": "I254.59337.schedulesdirect.org",
  "channel": "254"
},

{
  "name": "I254%2E59337%2Eschedulesdirect%2Eorg",
  "channel": "254"
},

{
  "name": "[I254.59337.schedulesdirect.org]",
  "channel": "254"
},

{
  "name": "[I254\.59337\.schedulesdirect\.org]",
  "channel": "254"
},

Hey mate,

To test your regex you can use https://regex101.com/

I will give you two options, choose which one you like

• I254\.59337\.schedulesdirect\.org

The reason is:
\. = escape the dot as on RegEx dot is wildcard for any character

• I254\x2E59337\x2Eschedulesdirect\x2Eorg

This one works by following your logic on the second one \x[Hex value of the character]

Then the settings json file is expecting a string, so you will need to escape all your \ by doing \\

Which give you:

    {
      "name": "I254\\.59337\\.schedulesdirect\\.org",
      "channel": "254"
    },
    {
      "name": "I254\\x2E59337\\x2Eschedulesdirect\\x2Eorg",
      "channel": "254"
    },

Cheers,

I already tried double \ and that didn't work. I will try the second one now. THat doesn't work either. It always shows zero channels. If I grep the downloaded file with the term it works and pull up the data.

{
  "name": "I254\\x2E59337\\x2Eschedulesdirect\\x2Eorg",
  "channel": "254"
},

I have setup an example on my side to double check, the result it the following:

Inside my playlist I have:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,I254.59337.schedulesdirect.org
http://dummyurl.com/feed.ts

Inside my config file I have the following filter:

  "filter": [
    {
      "name": "I254\\x2E59337\\x2Eschedulesdirect\\x2Eorg",
      "channel": "254"
    }
  ]

Then if I go to my lineup page: ``

[{"GuideNumber":"254","GuideName":"I254.59337.schedulesdirect.org","URL":"http://172.30.20.140:12346/channel/254"}]

The name filtering is acting on the line that contain #EXTINF after the coma (it's the name given by the playlist)

Let me know if that help you,

This is whats in the m3u file that I can't get it to match up with.

#EXTINF:-1 catchup="default" catchup-source="http://vapi.vaders.tv/play/dvr/${start}/2436.m3u8?token=eyasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdFAwZ0RIeDQwYXh2In0=&duration=3600" catchup-days=5 tvg-name="AMC HD" tvg-id="I254.59337.schedulesdirect.org" tvg-logo="http://vod6.vaders.tv:8080/logos/usa%20amc%20hd.png" group-title="United States",AMC HD
http://vapi.vaders.tv/play/2436.m3u8?token=easdfasfasdfwretqwertwqerqwerf

So just do :

 {
      "name": "AMC HD",
      "channel": "254"
    }

The issue is sometimes the names change, but the schedules direct never changes.

I will create you an additional filter tmrw to filter on meta.

Vaders IPTV provider looks very popular but google shows multiple website for it; I'm curious what is the one where you did subscribe?

1.0.4 has now that feature.

Name and meta are acting as a AND; so if both are provided the both need to be as a true statement.
In your case, you can just use meta attribute without the name attribute.

Here examples:

    {
      "name": "^AMC$",
      "meta": "I254\\.59337\\.schedulesdirect\\.org",
      "channel": "2"
    },
    {
      "meta": "I254\\.59337\\.schedulesdirect\\.org",
      "rename": "AMC",
      "channel": "3"
    }
