Cannot remove Live-TV Channels in Media Manager

[ffgff 0]

Hi,

 

I have added some IPTV channels by using a m3u file ("Tuner"). It did work as expected. From time to time I remove this m3u file/tuner to change some channels in the m3u file and add them again afterwards. Now I have some old channels as "ghost entries" which are not part of any m3u file I have added but they are still visible in the channel list.The metadata-manager shows them as well....

 

I simply want to get rid of them. How do I do this? I could not find any way to achieve this in the metadata-manager...

 

Thanks for your help!

 

regards

They must still be in the m3u. Try running the refresh guide scheduled task.

Hm I did refresh the TV channels after removing them and they were all gone. But when I add them again the ghost channels are still there... Is my import format wrong? Maybe the names are detected wrongly because I am using "Schedules Direct" as guide provider...

 

Here is my m3u format:

 

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Das Erste HD

and so on

Oh there is an option for assigning the channels to "Schedules Direct" channels. It is hidden in the Schedules Direct Settings....

But I see that some common german TV channels like "Das Erste" are missing in Schedules Direct?! Has anyone a explanation?

 

Now I understand the problem, Schedules Direct does a wrong channel assignment... How do I have to change the m3u format?

Does this work better:

 

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="Das Erste HD",Das Erste HD

What does this mean?

assigning the channels to "Schedules Direct" channels

I mean that the setting for "Schedules Direct" TV Guide provide me a list where I can see my IPTV channel and its assigned TV Program Source channel. Most of them do not fit. So I have to change them manually which is not what I want to do.

 

I need a way to tell that some entry in the m3u file is a specific TV channel?!

If they don't automatically match up then you can just use the UI to map them.

Some channels I have in my m3u list do not appear in the list I can use for mapping. "Das Erste" for example is missing....

hi @@ffgff, is schedules direct enabled for that tuner? Click on your schedules direct setup and check the enabled tuners list.

Yes that was the problem. There were the wrong tuners selected
