Export/Import

[sebjoan]

I need to modify the beginning part of the URL for my IPTV provider.  I have a lot of these channels configured with Schedules Direct.  I performed a Export Channels in the past, made some simple edits in a text editor but while importing the EPG's from Schedules Direct did not come back and instead the sources all came back as None.  I also lost all groupings after the import.

1. is there a way to perform a search and replace without exporting
2. if the only way to do this is to export then what must be done for the Groups to remain in tact and for the EPG sources to be imported as well?

You'd probably need to run a SQL query to replace this text. I usually use SQLiteSpy, but there is lots of other utilities that'll allow you to do this.

ie, something like this:

UPDATE CHANNEL_MAPPING SET tuning = REPLACE(tuning, 'oldtext', 'newtext');

I did all of that and it worked just fine except that anything that I had modified would show see "please wait" for over a minute before live video would play.  I gave up, deleted and re-imported the affected stations.
