Concise monthly summary for 2025-11: iptv-org/epg delivered stability and reliability improvements across configuration management, testing, and data organization. Key outcomes include preventing default config pollution in merges, extending EPG grab tests to 2-day windows for custom and multiple channels, and restoring program sorting to ensure accurate channel/start-time ordering before language/site grouping. These changes reduce risk in deployments, improve data quality for end users, and strengthen regression coverage.

March 2025 monthly summary for iptv-org/epg: Focused on web scraping reliability improvements for mncvision.id and mytelly.co.uk to ensure higher data quality and uptime in the EPG pipeline. Key outcomes include guard against empty program descriptions in mncvision.id and enforcement of a User-Agent header for mytelly.co.uk, addressing site requirements and reducing request failures. This work enhances downstream data integrity, partner reliability, and demonstrates strong software engineering discipline in parsing robustness and HTTP request hygiene.

January 2025 performance summary for iptv-org/epg: delivered a robust Snrt.ma channel parser, improved EPG accuracy for Sky.com, fixed pagination for channel retrieval to ensure precise data fetch, and streamlined CI to reduce noise by skipping empty commits when SITES.md has no changes. These changes bolster data reliability, reduce unnecessary processing, and enhance deployment efficiency, aligning with business goals of accurate listings and faster feedback loops.

Month: 2024-12 Overall impact: Delivered important EPG data quality improvements, robust concurrent data retrieval, and licensing compliance, resulting in more accurate listings, faster data delivery, and maintained compliance across core dependencies. Features delivered include TV Guide Data Enhancements and Channel Differentiation, Unified Fetch Layer with doFetch and the external @ntlab/sfetch package, and API Request Optimization. Major maintenance fix: Licensing and Dependency updates (UNLICENSED flag and libxmljs2 0.35.0). Technologies demonstrated include advanced HTML parsing, data normalization, asynchronous/concurrent fetching, external package integration, and thorough test/config updates. Key features delivered: - TV Guide Data Enhancements and Channel Differentiation: Improved parsing for tvarenasport.com, richer program metadata (descriptions, images, categories, cast), UK/IE channel differentiation, and EPG data normalization for dates/icons. - Unified Fetch Layer and Data Retrieval Improvements: Centralized data fetching using the new doFetch helper and external doFetch package (@ntlab/sfetch), enabling true concurrency, consistent behavior, and improved reliability. - API Request Optimization: Smarter API URL generation (grid=all included only when a page object is not provided) and updated tests for new configuration and cookies. - Licensing and Dependency Maintenance: Update package licensing metadata to UNLICENSED and upgrade core dependencies (e.g., libxmljs2 to 0.35.0). Major bugs fixed: - Licensing and Dependency Maintenance fixes to ensure compliance and up-to-date dependencies.
