Refresh M3U playlist

[chris@kovacik.net 1]

How often does Emby refresh a M3U playlist?   Is there a setting somewhere to change it?

[Spaceboy 2573]

from the dashboard -> scheduled tasks -> Live TV section -> Refresh Guide.

Can be set however you want

Not the guide, but the actual M3U playlist.  So if a channel is added or removed from the list, Emby will update and do the same.

[Spaceboy 2573]

yes. it does both

Oh  Perfect. Maybe the description should be updated to reflect that.  I reads as if it is just the guide.

Thanks!

We'll look at improving it. Thanks for the feedback.

Is there any way to update just the EPG but not the playlist?

My m3u file is only valid for 30 minutes but the actual streams still work afterwards (I think up to 30 days before I have to refresh it). So when the EPG refreshes after that, i lose all of the channels.

I get it's probably not the most common set up but I think my provider does it to stop sharing.

Not currently but the idea has come up before and is possible for future updates. Thanks.
