Improvement - TVHeadEnd - Prefix/Suffix

To be honest I don't understand much from your text.

The suffix/prefix option is exactly what it looks like. It adds any text before or after the urls in the m3u.
What you put there is your cup of tea.

If you want to put there "STRING-1" then so be it.

We are not a tv-headend site.
You should declare your variables and ignore conditions on your tv-headend server.
I am sure, if there is a functionality and need for that in tv-headend, then it is or can be implemented there.
Ask their developers.

And sorry, but we won't create processor intensive features for things, only a few people would use.

So currently the only option is to prefix / suffix everything on the list or nothing at all, with no plans on fixing that?

[Epg Admin]

What fixing?
There is nothing broken.

You asked for a suffix/prefix feature.
You got it.
What do you want from me?

We surely won't add a suffix/prefix option to every channel.
That's also not what you asked for and nobody else is using it except you.

I am not even sure that you know what you are doing, because I would assume that many more people would ask for it, if there were no solution for this in tv-headend itself.

Normally tvheadend users DONT use VOD because its such a pain to implement and not for beginners with having to hand craft/edit each source.

The need to a prefix/suffix is only needed for when the source is not a raw MPEG-TS format, i.e. MKV, MOV, MP4, AVI, etc.

Most of the people use it just for live tv which works great out of the box, and have no reason to attempt to do anything further.
