There is no method to reduce the time window of data within the epg.

There is no method to reduce the volume of data within the epg to include only those channels that are required.

There is no method to re-order / sort channels within categories / groups to achieve a desired custom sort order.

There is no method to remove specific channels within categories / groups.

However there are some issues that are common to all IPTV service providers where there is no obvious, easy or free solution: VaderStreams do did support a unique feature to enable filtering groups within their m3u in the HTTP GET request/response via a filterCategory query string parameter. This script has been tested with the following IPTV providers:

Your service provider supplies you with a url that returns an m3u file containing both live TV channels and VOD content in that one file and you want to filter it to contain only live TV channels.

You have an underpowered device where SPMC / KODI / some other app running on that device struggles to download and process very large m3u / epg files.

You want to achieve a filtered list and an improved custom sort order of TV channels.

M3u-epg-editor enables download of m3u / epg files from a remote (or local) server and enables the channel groups and channels within these files to be trimmed, optimized and reordered An m3u / epg file optimizer script written in python
