Disappearing m3u import

{Deleted the first post of the old thread due to login info in logs. Caused deletion of thread.}

So I was trying to update my channel list. 
It was imported via XCode. Obviously the "Update m3u" button didn't work as I've now been informed it won't. 
So out of fear of losing my schedules direct channel mappings, I disabled the Xcode device rather than delete it (in case I was forced to go back).
I added a new IPTV Device using the m3u (same provider).
The channel mappings did survive along with a couple custom groups I had made (Seemed everything had worked perfectly).
Then looking at the channel count (green text) on the device list it started to drop.  Looking at the list of channels they were disappearing.
Like a countdown... it dropped all the way down to zero.  Now the device just looks like a blank IPTV device.

If you click on the IPTV device created for the m3u, does it have channels listed?

I'd suggest maybe backing up your npvr.db3 file, so you can go back if you need to, then just delete your XC device. Then try doing an 'empty epg' followed by an 'update epg'.

Haha... it's doing it again... the countdown is on. So weird.

This time it created 2 devices wen I hit Save.  One of them seems to be staying at it's channel count... The other is disappearing and doesn't contain the m3u address in the device list. It just says "IPTV Device"

So the one with the majority of the channels did disappear.  But one device stayed... So I went into the "Update m3u". The list populated. I selected the channels I wanted (most of which had been disappeared from the other list) and clicked Save.  Nothing happened.  The save button didn't work.
