My IPTV provided change the URL Source, the channel lineup is the same and all information is the same, how can I change to the new link without losing the custom channel lineup and the guide data sources that setup on the emby server?

Hi, try just updating the URL in your m3u tuner setup.

Not sure what’s going on:

I double check that the channels where working on the new URL with VideoLan and that they had the same number and ID.

I replace the URL, and after that clicked on Refresh Guide Data

When I went to the guide, I can see all the channels but there was no guide information.

I went back to the setup and check the channel list and its empty.

I click on the refresh Guide a couple of times, and nothing,

Restarted the server and nothing,

Restarted the machine and nothing.

So, I don’t have any Idea, can you help?

Please run the refresh guide, then attach the emby server log when it completes. Thanks.

Looks like you had a bad guide data entry. One of your xml urls is pointing to in invalid url. You can see it at the bottom of the log. Try removing that and running the refresh guide again.

the channels are back but lost all the guide setup that I made. how does the server stores this info?, Is there any way to make a backup of this? or manually edit it outside of emby?, is the 3rd time in a year that Loose all the work fixing my guide. That external guide was pointing only at 2 channels. I have to manually to fix 700+ channels one by one and delete logos to get the correct ones.
