VOD Detection

[sub]

bit of an update, some of the VOD has started to appear, only a few entries compared to the vast library. 

Are you still using XC? From memory it only attempts to pull in movies, not tv shows.

M3U8 should pull in everything.

I have kept XC for my channels as I have spent ages mapping them all to schedules direct. 

I added a second device as an M3U to handle VOD, I included 1 channel to make sure that didn't upset things. I also see your PM, Will re-send.

I haven't tried loading up your database yet in my nextpvr environment, but I can see it's got 615946 VOD entries, so I'm guessing it's at least pulled in the complete set. (might be something stopping you from seeing it in the UI though)

Yes a small amount of it is now showing in the UI, but only a fraction

Your database shows you have two XC IPTV devices, and no M3U devices.

When you're importing from XC, there is a bug causing the group title to be "", so they don't show up. I'll check why this is and fix.

I just tried importing from M3U, and they then all end up with a valid group name, and I could see them all in the vod.html page.

I edited what was an XC device to change it too m3u. Is there a way to delete/reset a device?

To delete a device, on the Settings->Devices page, hold the Ctrl key, and a 'delete' button will appear on each device.

To import an m3u, click the empty 'IPTV Device', then click 'Import using M3U' and enter your m3u url.

Strangely I couldn't reproduce your problem with XC. They all ended up with valid group names, and I could see them in the web UI.

I am using the docker image with com skip etc, maybe that's the issue.

I deleted the other xc and replaced with m3u properly this time.. still getting same outcome though. see screenshot attached.

Maybe try opening this url in your browser to clear out your VOD list.

http://localhost:8866/service?method=vod.delete

Then go into Settings->Devices and click your IPTV device, then hit Update Channels. Let it complete, then hit cancel (rather than saving).
