IPTV Stream cleaner

Have you tried to download IPTV playlists only to find that a majority of the streams don't work? It's super annoying.

Here is a simply python script to filter out bad or non-functioning video streams from IPTV playlist files. It will check each playlist item, its video stream links and any nested playlist items.

It can also write a new playlist file containing the good streams.

Example:

./stream-cleaner.py --input-file my-iptv-playlist-file.m3u --output-file filtered-playlist.m3u

It's perfect for use with siptv.app or similar apps.
