Auto Map not working with Schedules Direct

[xz38]

When I run auto map on my IPTV source the EPG shows None for almost all of my channels. For some reason it picks up about 40 of my 700 channels. I have tried both mapping strategies with Directv, Comcast and Dish with no luck. I can get a channel to switch form None to Schedules Direct if I edit the channel manually but hoping to avoid doing this for 700 channels.  I've also tried deleting the channel listing and starting over but auto map still only reads the same 40 or so channels.

AutoMap can only do so much. It's basically looking for channel name / number matches, and it's likely the channel names from your IPTV source do not match the names in your Schedules Source lineup. If there is no info there to tell AutoMap the two are the same channel, then it's not going to be able to map the channels for you automatically. IPTV sources have notoriously bad naming for channels. NextPVR does try to strip some of the crap they add to names, and ignores case and spaces etc when looking for matches, to help make some matches possible.

Auto mapping from real broadcast channels typically works much better since they'll usually have real channel numbers, or names that match the channels real name.
