Stream-Mapparr v0.7.2 - CHANGELOG

Release Information

Version: 0.7.2
Release Date: December 20, 2025
Type: Bugfix Release (Dependency Update)
Severity: Medium (Matching Accuracy)

Overview

This release updates the required fuzzy_matcher.py version to include complete regional pattern support. The fuzzy_matcher now properly handles all US timezone regional indicators (East, West, Pacific, Central, Mountain, Atlantic) instead of just "East".

Bug Fixed

Incomplete Regional Patterns in fuzzy_matcher

Issue: fuzzy_matcher.py v25.343.1430 (and earlier) only recognized "East" as a regional indicator. All other timezone indicators (West, Pacific, Central, Mountain, Atlantic) were not properly handled by the REGIONAL_PATTERNS array.

Impact:

• Channels without regional indicators could incorrectly match streams with "(WEST)", "(PACIFIC)", etc.
• Example: "E! Entertainment" matched USA: E! ENTERTAINMENT (WEST) when it shouldn't
• Inconsistent behavior across different regional indicators
• Affected users with Ignore Regional Tags: False setting

Root Cause: REGIONAL_PATTERNS in fuzzy_matcher.py was incomplete - only had patterns for "East"

The Fix

Updated Dependency: fuzzy_matcher.py v25.354.1835

The plugin now requires fuzzy_matcher.py version 25.354.1835 or higher, which includes:

Complete REGIONAL_PATTERNS array with all 6 US timezone indicators:

1. East (word + parenthesized format)
2. West (word + parenthesized format)
3. Pacific (word + parenthesized format)
4. Central (word + parenthesized format)
5. Mountain (word + parenthesized format)
6. Atlantic (word + parenthesized format)

Updated extract_tags() function:

• Extended regex patterns to recognize all regional indicators
• Extended skip list to exclude all regional indicators from extra_tags
