Channel export for IPTV

Reddwarf · 2017-02-12, 03:58 PM

Finally about to get my npvr system going again. But, while it works it is a PITA to define some 100 channels for 3 different pc's on the iptv device. Is it possible to make an export-for-iptv function so that I can export channels on one pc and just import them on another for the iptv device? Such a function would save me days of manual work....

Did you try using the 'Export Channels' / 'Import Channels' buttons? They should do exactly what you're asking.

I have tried that in an earlier version but not in the latest, will the export function also inclide ip-address of the exporting computer?

It'd have the url of the channel. It wont have the ip address of the computer you hit 'export channels' on.

What do you mean by that, can you show an example?

I don't have any IPTV channels currently, so can't easily show you an example. Just hit the 'export channels' button on your machine, and take a look at the file it creates.

I think you are misunderstanding, I do NOT want to export channels FROM the iptv-device, I want to export channels FOR the iptv. I have 100+ channels on one computer, and I want to import them to th iptv-device on another computer.....

What does that mean? Are the "100+" channels in NextPVR? I now suspect that they are not.

It may be that an "Export Channels" on NextPVR will show you the layout of the xml file produced by the export. You might be able to edit the xml file to add records for the channels that you need. Apologies if I am missing the point or stating the obvious.

Yes, I read you as saying you'd setup 100+ IPTV channels on a NextPVR machine, and wanted to copy the same setup to another NextPVR. Sorry, there is nothing built in that will do what you're looking for.
