Live TV groups

[stplatt 8]

Some of my Live TV groups are stuck in capital letters (see pic) from an old m3u. Even though I refreshed with a new m3u with lowercase letters, these groups didn't change. Is there a way I can edit them by hand to lower case or force a refresh?

Additionally it looks like the group data is correct in the metadata manager, it just doesn't display the same in the Emby guide:

Hi, to resolve this I think you will need to get all channels with that tag removed from your system entirely, then run a library scan, and then add them back.

Ok thanks for the reply

Hello,

Just removed M3U and EPG > rescanned entire library > add M3U and EPG. I still have three groups/tags that are lowercase (golf, racing, sports) even though my source (Dispatcharr) has them as Golf, Racing, & Sports.

Thanks!

Update: Attempted to fix by changing the group names in Dispatcharr to Golf1, Racing1, Sports1 > refreshing guide data in Emby. They came through correctly. Then changing group names back to what they were > refreshing guide data in Emby. They're back to being lowercase golf, racing, sports.

For the record, I also tried removing the M3U & EPG > vacumming the DB > restarting container > scan library files > re-add M3U & EPG. Same result: golf, racing, sports.

I also tried the following:

1. Remove M3U and EPG
2. Shut down container
3. Delete the contents of
   1. /metadata/livetv
   2. /data/livetv
   3. /cache/xmltv
4. Start container
5. Re-add M3U & EPG

Still lowercase golf, racing, sports.

HI, try removing them all again and refresh the guide data in emby server, and then do a scan of all libraries in emby library setup. Please wait for both of those to complete before re-adding the m3u. See if that helps.

Hello,

I just tried your exact steps and after re-adding the M3U, the same groups are still lowercase. I actually got rid of my "Golf" group altogether but sports and racing are still lowercase.

What exactly did you do?

In this order:

1. Settings > Live TV
   1. Removed M3U & EPG.
2. Settings > Live TV
   1. Refreshed Guide Data with no M3U or EPG present. Let it complete.
3. Settings > Library
   1. Scan library files. Let it complete.
4. Settings > Live TV
   1. Add M3U & EPG.

Still lower case.

Hi, are you still having an issue with this?
