For example France 24 Arabic (1080p) has been replaced with France 24 Arabic (360p) in the ara.m3u playlist

Thanks

This is because when the bot loads the stream, if it's adaptive and doesn't load the full quality quickly, it will change the title to what it could access, even though the stream may actually support a higher resolution.

France 24 Arabic (1080p)

https://live.france24.com/hls/live/2037222-b/F24_AR_HI_HLS/master_5000.m3u8
is not an adaptive link. I think it's sorting the wrong way round.

Thanks @freearhey for the fix.

I noticed that France24Arabic.fr, DWArabic.de are now missing from ara.m3u. Also AlJazeera.qa is picking a low quality stream.

Thanks

This is due to the fact that during the last database update different language versions of these channels were merged. As a result, their ID has changed:

France24Arabic.fr => France24.fr@Arabic
DWArabic.de => France24.de@Arabic
AlJazeera.qa => AlJazeera.qa@Arabic
AlJazeeraEnglish.qa => AlJazeera.qa@English

Once I manage to update the iptv-org/iptv-org.github.io and get all the new feed IDs up on it, I'll definitely look into fixing tvg-id as well.
