Here is the exam:
Bonus (optional, 0–5 marks) Design a short bash or Python script (≤30 lines) that fetches an M3U from a URL, removes duplicate stream URLs, and outputs a cleaned M3U.
Task 3 (10): Set up an automated EPG sync job that pulls XMLTV from a remote HTTP source every 4 hours, maps to playlist channels, and logs mismatches to a file. Provide the scheduler entry and mapping example.
Section D — Troubleshooting Case Studies (10 marks; 2 cases, 5 marks each) Case 1 (5): After a heavy rainstorm viewers report pixelation and freezes on multiple channels; server-side monitoring shows increased retransmits and reduced throughput. Provide a concise troubleshooting checklist and one immediate mitigation to restore viewing.
