Backup not restoring live tv

[gillmacca01 211]

I have 5 backups using the built-in backup plugin.

A couple of days ago my IPTV link went down, I was supplied another link, which I have been gradually rebuilding (correct channel number/names, etc).

I have now been informed that the original link now works, so I thought, great, I will just restore the backup from just before it went down, but when the server restarting, it still had the new link - basically live tv hadn't restored.

Is live tv configuration backed up using the plugin?

Just incase I'm restoring wrong, I am restoring 'Emby server databases - 2025-01-11 00.16.12'. Is this what I should be restoring?

I've just deleted all the backups, and tole Emby to backup.

In the new backup under livetv.xml, it has the url of the m3u file as xteve. I haven't used xteve in about 4 months and it is not listed under tv providers in Emby - it was removed from my Emby 3 or 4 months ago

HI, you can ignore livetv.xml. It is no longer used.

I presume it is stored in the database somewhere then. Doesn't really explain why it would not restore the previous tv guide settings, and it will now take me a couple of weeks to re-set it all up

It should have. We'll take a look at that. Thanks.
