Hey there! 👋 Thanks for building and sharing this project — it's a genuinely useful tool for the IPTV community. Here's my review after digging into the code and workflows.
💪 Strengths
-
Solid multi-workflow CI/CD design — The separation of concerns across main.yml, epg.yml, logo.yml, live-platforms.yml, and whitelist-blacklist.yml is clean and thoughtful. Each concern has its own scheduled job with sensible cron expressions, and workflow_dispatch is enabled throughout for manual control. That's a mature automation setup.
-
Resilient source handling in main.py — The blacklist/whitelist architecture in assets/whitelist-blacklist/main.py is well-considered: auto-blacklisting failed URLs, respecting a manual whitelist, and using concurrent checking via ThreadPoolExecutor with tunable timeouts (TIMEOUT_FETCH, TIMEOUT_CONNECT, TIMEOUT_READ). This shows real operational thinking rather than a naive "just fetch everything" approach.
-
User-friendly README with clear resource table — The README does an excellent job of presenting direct-use links, update schedules, and fork instructions in a scannable format. Chinese-speaking users can get up and running immediately without reading a single line of code.
🛠 Suggestions
-
Add a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml — Currently there are no Python dependency files detected. Even though the scripts lean on the stdlib heavily, opencc-python-reimplemented (imported in main.py as opencc) is a third-party package. Without a pinned dependency file, contributors and GitHub Actions runners might silently use incompatible versions. A simple requirements.txt with opencc-python-reimplemented==1.1.6 (or whichever version you target) prevents this.
-
Extract magic constants in main.py into a config file — Values like SINGLE_CHANNEL_MAX_COUNT = 20, RESPONSE_TIME_THRESHOLD = 2000, and the REMOVAL_LIST strings are currently scattered across the top of main.py. Moving these into a dedicated config.yaml or config.py that users can edit without touching core logic would make the "Fork and customize" workflow much safer and more appealing.
-
Handle the truncated awk block in epg.yml — The shell script in epg.yml has an awk block that appears to be cut off mid-logic (the in keyword is dangling). It's worth reviewing whether that's a copy-paste truncation in the file itself, because a broken awk expression would silently produce empty output and the exit 1 guard only catches zero downloaded files, not parsing failures.
⚡ Quick Wins
-
Add a repo badge for workflow status — Drop a GitHub Actions badge like  into the README header. Users can instantly see if the latest update run succeeded without visiting the Actions tab.
-
Add a CONTRIBUTING.md — Even a short file explaining "how to add a new source URL" or "how to test locally" would significantly lower the barrier for first-time contributors. The project structure (assets/urls.txt, 主频道/, 地方台/) isn't self-evident to newcomers.
🔒 QA & Security
Testing: ❌ None detected
There are zero test files in the repository. Given that StreamChecker in assets/whitelist-blacklist/main.py has clearly defined logic (blacklist skipping, whitelist zero-latency behavior, URL deduplication), this is a perfect candidate for unit tests. Consider adding pytest with a tests/ directory. A simple test_stream_checker.py mocking urllib.request would give you confidence that blacklist/whitelist logic doesn't regress.
CI/CD: ✅ Workflows exist, but no test step
The workflows handle scheduling and deployment well, but none of them run any automated tests or linting before pushing output files. Adding a python -m pytest step (even with no tests yet, it validates syntax) and a python -m py_compile main.py check to main.yml would catch obvious breakage early.
Code Quality: No linters configured
Neither flake8, ruff, nor black are referenced anywhere. Given that main.py is 36KB+ of Python, adding ruff check . to the workflow (it's fast and zero-config) would catch issues like unused imports or shadowed variables. A pyproject.toml with [tool.ruff] settings would be a clean home for this.
Security: ⚠️ A few areas to watch
- No
SECURITY.md — worth adding even a minimal one with a contact email.
- No Dependabot config — once you add
requirements.txt, create .github/dependabot.yml with package-ecosystem: pip to get automated PR alerts for dependency updates.
- The
clear.yml workflow does a force push that rewrites branch history. This is intentional but powerful — consider adding a manual confirmation input (e.g., type "yes" to proceed) to avoid accidental triggering.
Overall, this is a well-structured and genuinely useful project — the automation foundations are solid. Adding lightweight testing and dependency management would take it to the next level! 🎉
