Improper channel groupings

[markn62]

Has anyone encountered that the latest release looks at the tvg-name rather than the group-title when creating groups and overloads the group list in the "channels" page?  Or is the m3u snip below not typical of what NextPvr is expecting to see?  The bottom of my channels page looks like THIS.  Doesn't show US groups anymore, normally near the bottom of the list.  I can provide the m3u file if for comparison if needed.

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="ES: NAT GEO WILD HD" tvg-logo="" group-title="SPANISH",ES: NAT GEO WILD HD

Since it's often the case of an odd source, I compared m3u entries on two other sources that are about to expire.  The one difference I notice is the suspect source StreamsForUs has a few entries with no content in tvg-id="", accounting for maybe 1% of all the EXTINF lines. Perhaps this is what is fouling groups up. I thought m3u files had a specifically defined format that is to be adhered too. Apparently not. I am asking the source why they have some missing tvg-id="" in their m3u.

The IPTV community has hacked it with the the tv- extensions but there is no reason to believe that from different sources they should match. m3u files are a loose standard even for music.

Your example is good for another reason, since even if there was a standard you picked three different versions of the same show and they will have different content.

It uses group-title for the group name, but I am aware of an issue of the current release which can stop it reading the tv- properties correctly with some IPTV providers. I've fixed for the next build.
