IPTV imported channels - bulk change of details

[psycik]

I've gone from a trial subscription of an IPTV service to a paid. It had about 3000 channels that I had to wade through to whittle it down to the 150 I might actually look at.

In the change, there's a password in the link in the channel definition - this has changed. Is there some export/import or sqlite sql query I could perform up update that password? it's part of an http link.

I haven't been through the process myself, but you can probably export the channels, delete the channels, edit the exported file, then reimport.

Personally I'd just delete the channels and reimport them - particularly if the new .m3u url they gave you has a the username/password in it. There is a couple things coming in the near future (around dynamic channel list updates, and max connections) that'll work much better if the real m3u url is in your imported channels. (which is stored along side the channel specific url)

Ahh there is an export, yeah I’ll do that. It took me way too long to whittle them down to want to reimport them all.

That’s the main reason I want to use nextpvr with them as you can control the lost better. Else I’d have to manually filter the list for something like Plex.
