TEKDUDE 3 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Something very strange is happening. I am using an M3u tuner, and mapping channels based on Emby Guide Data for my area. After I have mapped my tuner list channels to Emby, the guide refreshes. I then proceed to watch live TV and the guide is pulling in from the last channel I mapped. This makes no sense. Any ideas on what is happening here? embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hi @TEKDUDE what do you mean by "last channel i mapped" ? Did you mean to map all of those to CNN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I have around 100 channels or so. I mapped each channel from M3u list to EGD based on my location per channel. What I am saying is that, for example, if CNN is the last channel I mapped, I then exit and come back in, the guide now has all channels mapped to CNN which makes no sense.

Luke 36886 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I've never seen that happen before. What if you just go back in and fix one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example, the first one in my image. The channel is Bravo and I mapped it as Bravo, yet somehow they all changed to CNN. Now if I just map that first entry as Bravo, exit and come back to the map channels, all channels under it will also now be Bravo. I know, it makes no sense.

ebr 14862 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi. Do all of the channels in the m3u happen to have the same number or tvg-id? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The provider I am using has a crap ton of channels that I don't necessarily need. I am using an app called Tantrum IPTV M3u editor to filter out only the channels I want, around 100. Each channel has its own unique number at the end of the link, which is the TV channel. The app has a column called ChannelID but they are all blank. Sample below.

ebr 14862 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 What is the full label of that second column where all of them are blank...? Channel ID by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. None of which are populated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the channels have the same internal ID so, when you map one, you map them all. I suspect your editing tool is causing the problem. If you use the raw m3u do things map properly?

For example, I am using Spectrum / Charter line up in the Cleveland area, so if I map TNT from M3u file and use channel 061 for the channel ID, will that solve the issue?

Solution Carlo 4328 Posted April 12, 2021 Solution Share Posted April 12, 2021 If you give each channel a unique ID your problem should be solved. You can mimic another guide or channel list if you like but the important thing is have unique IDs. Try that and let us know how you make out. If this doesn't solve your problem I can do a remote session with you to have a look see at what's going on with you. Carlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
