Live TV - M3U Tuner - Channel Name = EPG-ID + Channel Number?

[meowmix 0]

Hello Emby Community,

I am using Emby with a Premier Licence and trying to setup some Live TV channels via M3U.

The editor I use to create the M3U is Xeev (https://www.xtream-editor.com/).

The functionality works great - Two questions I have are:

1) In the Emby Live TV Guide, the Channel Name is always the "EPG-ID" + channel Number from the channel entry in the playlist

Is there a way to simply make it use the "Title" of the channel instead?

 

2) From the Live TV Guide, when I click on a Channel it first takes me to a screen where I can choose Play and also see the program schedule for the channel

Is there a way to make it so when I select a Channel in the Guide, it simply plays that Channel? 

These are little things - I think Emby is amazing.

 

Thank you in advance.

MeowMix

Hi.

1. That screenshot you showed with the BBC One channel details, is that from your M3U editor or Emby?

I’m not an expert but it sounds like your M3U editor might be causing the naming issue here. I’m not aware of anything in Emby that is going to concatenate the channel name with the EPG-ID. Might be worth sharing the M3U text for a channel so we can what’s in it (remember to redact any accounts/passwords).

2. I don’t think that’s possible to change.

If you’re on the web app you can right click and select play. You can do that on the channel name and on the individual programme. 

Alternatively if you go to the channel view it will play the channel with one-click.

Hey, 

Thanks for looking at my question.

The second screenshot (with the channel details) is the channel editor.

Maybe I should try another Playlist Editor?
