Refresh of m3u Channels removes XML channel Maps

I think i figured it out by following this post.

 

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/20217-dev-embytv-a-livetv-client-for-network-tuners-hdhomerun-at-the-moment/

 

added the following to the m3u file then refreshed it and it seems to be holding the EPG data now.

 

tvg-id="1" tvg-name="ABC"

 

The old channels were still in the database with a different channel-id assigned.

to me it looks like if you don't have a tvg-id and tvg-name, the system assigns a unique channel Id every time the file is changed.

 

 

Using it for Smooth Streams. Finally able to shutdown PLEX.

Its also nice to be able to Reassign the channel numbers for SS up into the 9000 range instead of having the SS channels mixed in with my local channels.

ok

 

Well tvg-id used to map directly to channel-id in the XMLTV.  This has stopped working in latest releases.

No Sir. Adding the tvg-id to the m3u file seems to have takin care of it. 

 

on a side note. Any chance the HDHomerum could look at a local lineup.xml file to remap channel numbers/Guide Id names off the HDHomerun?

 

Thanks

That would be awesome. On the HDHRViewer for Plex i just changed the code to point to a local xml file.
