Luke, that is not correct. You can have the same tvg-id on multiple lines to cover SD and HD feeds etc.. with the same epg info. It must be some other tag or reason that they are merging. Perhaps channel-id Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Emby finished loading, I did a search/went thru every channel and only the UHD channel played/was found which sometimes goes out cause my crappy bandwidth or Ping.

I will redact the entire 4 lines so you may look..... #EXTINF:-1 tvg-ID="Golf Channel CA" tvg-name="CA: Golf Channel UHD" tvg-logo="http://cdn.cablefax.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/golf-logo.jpg" group-title="Sports",CA: Golf Channel UHD http://go.trusty.iptv:80/live/billgates@[member="gmail"].com/Password/45062.m3u8 #EXTINF:-1 tvg-ID="Golf Channel CA" tvg-name="CA: Golf Channel" tvg-logo="http://cdn.cablefax.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/golf-logo.jpg" group-title="Sports",CA: Golf Channel http://go.trusty.iptv:80/live/billgates@[member="gmail"].com/password/45369.m3u8 I see what you mean though...Apparently Emby doesn't read tvg-name like Kodi or VLC does...Or Group-title either , Luke is supposed to be adding those capabilities. How VLC Reads the Channels..... I would love to have channel-id as part of my m3u but I do not run the IPTV service, nor will I think they will add that just cause I need it. Groups are what's really needed like kodi does it...Now that's a very well-thought-out guide structure. As OP said, the m3u list is updated sometimes daily or weekly so it's impraticle to edit it and add that info. How Kodi reads the channels....

I’ve been through 4 services now in the last 2 years, all had m3u. Unfortunately you have no choice but to edit the m3u manually. It’s not news that these change on a weekly basis, we are all using similar versions. Ours change for the weekly football games. But emby doesn’t support this and that hasn’t changed in the last 2 years of asking. So make up your own mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddurdle 75 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 You can always create a script to massage the m3u8. This way you don't have to use the argument "it updates daily/weekly". You have a script download the latest m3u8, twice a day if desired, and the script then can "massage" the contents, updating and removing contents as desired, and you point Emby to this cleaned up m3u8 file. Bonus points for adding an emby API call to force fresh on the tv after updating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an open-source script that I use to assign channel numbers, but in my case, I'm using some additional logic, groups sports channels, entertainment channels, etc. My original problem was that the default ordering was causing issues mapping with SchedulesDirect. My assigning me own channel numbers, I worked around that. I also use the script to update channel names so that I can match better with SchedulesDirect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
