Feature request: Add a Hungary TV lineup

[bttfw]

Hi, and thank you again for maintaining this plugin.

I would like to request a Hungary / Hungarian TV lineup for Lineuparr/Dispatcharr as a future enhancement. It would be very useful for matching and maintaining Hungarian channels in a cleaner and more reliable way.

I tried to build or find a usable Hungarian lineup myself, but I have not been able to get a clean and reliable result. I would really appreciate it if someone who knows the right data source or lineup structure could make this work.

Suggested scope:

• Hungarian national/free TV channels
• Major public channels and commonly used commercial channels
• Regional or pay TV channels if they fit the plugin's lineup model
• Stable channel names and IDs that can be used for matching

This is not urgent, just a friendly future request. I would be very happy if someone could add support for it. Thank you!

Thanks for the request, and for the kind words!

A Lineuparr lineup is basically an ordered, categorized list of channel names + their channel numbers, that factual mapping is all the matcher needs. The code side is easy; the real work is getting a clean, authoritative channel list. The fastest way to make this happen is to attach a real lineup to this issue, in any of these formats:

1. JSON matching our schema (preferred, drop-in):
   {
   "package": "Hungary - ",
   "date": "2026-06-07",
   "source": "<official source, e.g. provider channel-list page or PDF>",
   "notes": "Live TV channels only; no VOD/EPG/program data.",
   "categories": {
   "Közszolgálati": [
   { "name": "M1", "number": 1 },
   { "name": "M2", "number": 2 },
   { "name": "Duna", "number": 3 }
   ],
   "Kereskedelmi": [
   { "name": "RTL", "number": 5 },
   { "name": "TV2", "number": 6 }
   ]
   }
   }
2. A link to an official webpage (the operator's published channel-list / "csatornakiosztás" page), or
3. A PDF of an official channel list.

Thanks for the explanation, that helps.

Just to clarify my request: the hard part for me is not creating the JSON once the lineup data is available. The blocker is that I do not know where to get a clean, public, authoritative Hungarian channel-name + channel-number source that can be cited and used safely.

If there is an official provider page or PDF with a stable csatornakiosztás / channel lineup, I can help convert that into the plugin schema. I just have not been able to identify a reliable source myself yet.

Would a provider-specific Hungary lineup be the right first step here, rather than trying to create a generic national lineup? If you can suggest an acceptable source, I am happy to help prepare the JSON from it.
