Help regarding channel name update info

[mellman]

Hello!

I hope this question makes sense - I am wondering (as I have queried my provider and done a couple of other checks prior to coming here) how I can get the channel names to update, more specifically certain live event channels from my provider have fixture and date information in them as they do not have an entry in the EPG. For example see below:


As you can see the date included in this listing is Fri 27th Sept, over a month ago. I queried my provider and he said these update daily so that you're able to tell which events are on and when - when I imported my playlist into VLC to check this, I can see that this is true, here is the same channel imported into VLC:

The above are showing the desired correct date. 

How am I able to get this to happen in NextPVR? I have tried re-importing the EPG/updating the EPG and also re-importing the channels too and it doesn't change it. 

Hopefully I'm missing something basic as I'm a beginner with a lot of this. 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

I suspect that auto removing VOD-like channels without auto adding the whole m3u list is an issue.

What does any actual m3u EXTINF line look like?

Sorry to answer your question with a question but is that the information that I would find in the 'Details' column of the 'Channels' tab in the Settings? If so, I cannot click into a specific one to copy and paste it as an example currently, is there a way to do that? 

Appreciate the timely response as always, Martin.

EDIT - if that is the information you were asking after, then here is one from another channel - https://cfsystems.io/live/username/passw...884b4.m3u8

And the one from the channel in question - https://cfsystems.io/live/username/passw...4d88f.m3u8

I hope that helps!

No it is in the m3u file from your provider, those linked didn't work. Typical it is the first line above a URL.

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="BBCFour.uk",BBC Four HD (720p) [Geo-blocked]

Ah right, I've just opened my playlist in Notepad and can see this information now - though it is similar to what I have posted for you, it contains my username and password information in it for the service though - that's why I'd replaced the previous one with 'username'/'password'.

if possible, I can PM you with that information/the full link - hesitant to post it publicly for obvious reasons.

No I will leave the answer for sub, it is pretty hard to automate. If that is from the current m3u it is even catchup on a past event.
