# LYGO TV catalog — quality rules

Live player: https://chatagent.ca/sources/  
Disclaimer: https://chatagent.ca/sources/disclaimer.html

This file is for humans who add lists. The player is a **portal only**. We do not host, decrypt, or proxy streams.

## What we are building

A growing catalog of **free-to-access public channels** found on the internet (public M3U, FAST, official embeds). Honest labels. Open to use. Quality over dump size.

## Must be true before a list is added

1. **Free to watch online** according to the source (public broadcaster, FAST, official embed). Not a stolen pay-TV pack.
2. **HTTPS** playlist URL. HTTP stream rows are skipped in the player.
3. Probe: HTTP 200 and at least 3 HTTPS entries.
4. No Xtream logins, no VOD movie packs, no decrypt, no pirate proxy (including jmp2.uk-style wrappers we chose not to ship).
5. **Not branded XXX.** `xxx_catalog` stays false. Do not add iptv-org `categories/xxx.m3u`. The Adult shelf is gated and labeled **Adult**. Better adult lists can be added later. **18+ entertainment** (Adult Swim) is on that shelf.

## How rows are sorted in the player

| Shelf | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| **All ages** (default) | Unlabeled ordinary channels |
| **Kids** | Metadata says kids/children, or the Kids topic list |
| **Adult** | Gated 18+. 18+ entertainment plus leftover adult metadata. Labeled Adult, not XXX |

Unlabeled is treated as all ages on purpose so the main shelf stays usable. Metadata can be wrong — the disclaimer says so.

## When you find a new free portal

Use it only under these guidelines: HTTPS, public/free claim, probe, then commit `catalog.json`. Kids and 18+ stay **labeled and separated**. Watch gates + the full disclaimer stay on. Prefer a smaller working list over a huge dirty one.

Human remains publisher. Catalog class is RESOURCE. No silent Star Chart ingest.

## v1.13 — 18+ entertainment, not XXX

Public IPTV “adult” lists are almost all porn, jmp2.uk wrappers, or HTTP pirate IPs. We did **not** add those.

**Added** `mature_18` → https://chatagent.ca/sources/mature.m3u8 (HTTPS, ≥3 entries):

- Adult Swim official HLS (`media.cdn.adultswim.com`)
- Adult Swim YouTube live + uploads (`UCgPClNr5VSYC3syrDUIlzLw`)
- Comedy Central YouTube uploads (`UCUsN5ZwHx2kILm84-jPDeXw`)

Opens on the **Adult** shelf. Not branded XXX.

Removed `adult_pub` / `adult.m3u8` (AdultIPTV.net dump). Adult shelf and Adult Swim list stay. Better adult lists can be added later behind the gate.
