New source for Indian channels - airtelxstream.in site

[StrangeDrVN]

My attempt at making a site with very limited knowledge. Any changes are welcome.

Issues:

• might be fixed - Majority DISTROTV_LIVETVCHANNEL channels currently returning 0 programs - likely issue at source
• Description (ldesc, sdesc)`(desc) seems to abruptly end mid-sentence - likely issue at source

Test command:

 npm test --- airtelxstream.in

> test
> cross-env TZ=Pacific/Nauru npx jest --runInBand airtelxstream.in

@BellezaEmporium Could you check this whenever possible?

@BellezaEmporium Could you check this whenever possible?

Great work so far, I can see you've understood the basics of the epg-grabber system. Grabber and tests seem to work as-is.

https://livetv.airtel.tv/v1/livechannel works without any parameter, and instead of "DISTROTV" I have "RUNNTV" data. Might create a set of labels to get all the channels that are available.

LGTM. I don't see any particular issues with the current implementation. Great job @StrangeDrVN

Test passed.
Grabber worked.
