[Feature] Add custom EPG lists

[InvisibleRasta]

What problem does this solve?

Add an option that will let us use custom EPG lists for each playlist.
IPTVnator has this option globally that will work for every list.

There is also another IPTV project called ynoTV that lets the user add custom EPG lists per playlist.

Up to you on how you want to implement it. I think the ynoTV makes more sense. Gives more configuration options.

@InvisibleRasta are you able to test and provide feedback for this? ill have this implemented in a few mins

[InvisibleRasta]

sure. will try as soon as i can

The addition seems to work perfectly. The test sources function also works perfectly.
Since we are speaking about the playlist options... You could add the possibility to add multiple server urls to the same playlist. This would be very nice in case one of them is blocked by ISP or it is down/failing, the program would automatically try with the next server url available.
For example my provider gave me 5 urls, would be nice to be able to just add all of them.

@InvisibleRasta haha this is exactly what im currently working on, got the idea from your screenshot of ynoTV and since my provider also gives me backup credentials i figured ill implement that aswell

[InvisibleRasta]

Yes its actually actually something i suggested the other day to ynotv's developer and he actually implemented it today.
There is also a very interesting closed source IPTV player project that has support for Stremio addons. This would open the project to a whole new world of options to get media. Check it out they offer a trial.
