avoiding multiple appearances of the same channel

[markosjal]

while adding IPTV Lists....

If I add the same m3u8 list twice then the channel appears twice to the client. I read that this was necessary to get two streams from the same playlist.

I read somewhere not to re-enter the xml guide data but no matter what I do the channel appears twice. 

I do not want the channels of the list to appear twice but need all channels of the list to be available to two (or more) client devices simultaneously, with only a single appearance of the channel.

What am I doing wrong? I think NextPVR is my last hope I have tried many PVRs over the last weeks and they all seem so buggy.

I hope this one can work.

That is incorrect.

Go to the Settings->Devices page, hold the Ctrl key and you'll see a 'delete' button appear on each device. Delete the second one you added.

Now click on that first one you added, and at the top of the device settings page, set Max Connections to 2.
