Since "tvg-id" links to [Database](https://github.com/iptv-org/database) repository, each channel has unique attributes like: image, name (in English and local speak), country (or countries) broadcasted, category and language. You can add multiple streams with a single id (in the "tvg-id" parameter), instead of adding information from scratch. For example: ``` #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="CCTV3.cn" status="online",CCTV-3综艺 (1080p) ``` -Based on [#6516](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/issues/6516). +Based on [#2086](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/issues/2086) (countries) and [#6516](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/issues/6516) (use of Database). ### Why some streams have empty id?
