Thanks for the feedback @bastimeyer, I've sent a new commit to address it.

Could you please give the VODs a quick test?

That one VOD URL defined in the plugin test file has expired, but I'm not sure if your changes will work with any VODs.

$ ./script/test-plugin-urls.py atresplayer

@bastimeyer Atresplayer became a streaming platform and doesn't host VODs anymore, only live streams and shows/movies (do those count as VODs?) although I'm not sure if any of them are free.

Atresmedia (the company behind Atresplayer) does have other websites (lasexta.com, antena3.com) that host VODs but those would require separate handling, and I don't have time to add support for those now.

Then the pluginmatcher URL should get updated accordingly and the VOD removed from the test file. The plugin's metadata already states that it only supports live streams.

I force-pushed onto your PR branch with the necessary changes squashed into a proper single commit.

Please force-fetch locally and check if the channels listed here do indeed work (they are all geo-blocked and unlisted for me):
#5131 (comment)

Once validated, we can merge this.

@bastimeyer Passing there I did a quick check for you.

• The usual important channels are working fine with the new plugin.
• The fast channels in the list you pointed are showing:

error: Unable to validate response text: ValidationError(GetItemSchema):
Item 0 was not found in object []

Thanks, @Jeffade1
I fixed the validation error, but since this new plugin version is limited to the data returned by
https://api.atresplayer.com/client/v1/info/channels
the other channels will require a different solution.

I'm going to merge this now. If anyone wants to add support for the other channels, please open a new pull request. Thanks.

Thanks for the help and merge @bastimeyer @Jeffade1, I've been away from my desk for the last few days.
