    M3U Channel/VOD Names - Illegal Characters

    Please remove illegal characters from vod and liveTV/PPV names.
    Today I am specifically referring to PPV1 (601).
    commas ( , ) will screw up channel/title name in m3u playlists.
    Name of item is derived from the characters after the last comma in an m3u description line;
    Code:
    PPV1 - Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile
    will list the item name as " And Vile ".

    I do believe that this depends on the Player, in most cases.
    Perfect Player for example will show as Shooty describes. And I believe the original DOL Player was also the same.
    While other Players will show as terry66 describes.
    "The illusion of freedom will continue for as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will take down the scenery, move the tables and chairs out of the way, then they will pull back the curtains and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

    Internet-Draft HTTP Live Streaming October 2015




    4.3.2.1. EXTINF


    The EXTINF tag specifies the duration of a Media Segment. It applies
    only to the next Media Segment. This tag is REQUIRED for each Media
    Segment. Its format is:


    #EXTINF:<duration>[,<title>]


    where duration is a decimal-integer or decimal-floating-point number
    (as described in Section 4.2) that specifies the duration of the
    Media Segment in seconds. Durations that are reported as integers
    SHOULD be rounded to the nearest integer. Durations MUST be integers
    if the compatibility version number is less than 3 to support older
    clients. Durations SHOULD be floating-point if the compatibility
    version number is 3 or greater. The remainder of the line following
    the comma is an optional human-readable informative title of the
    Media Segment expressed as raw UTF-8 text.

    Format specifies that anything after the comma is reserved for a Title.
    *Though many app's use the tvg-name tag, instead of the data after the comma.

    Kodi is what I should have specified.
    *Most of the Adult VOD items also cause problems.
