Is there any way to configure Emby to prefer tvg-id over exact channel name matching?

I'd like to enforce the use of a specific set of guide data in my M3U by specifying tvg-id. This mostly works, unless the channel name exactly matches the name of a channel in my XMLTV. In that case, Emby prefers the exact name matching. Can I change this behavior to prefer the use of tvg-id?

Hi, no, Emby prefers tvg-id first, before name. There is nothing you need to do to configure that.

What makes you think Emby prefers exact name matching?

I've done some more testing and determined when this happens: if you have multiple guide data sources and the name matches a channel in an earlier source, it will use this over the ID in a later source.

Any updates on this? It's really annoying that Emby does this.
