IPTV URL Change

[emeaux]

My IPTV source supplies a m3u file I ingest into NextPVR. I then have to rename the channels to what I want and apply the correct schedules direct programming guide for each channel, about 100 of them. My IPTV source has multiple "feeds" for each channel so if one is performing badly they say to just try another source or different URL. When I create a new m3u file and try to update m3u function in nextPVR it completely wipes all the schedule direct configs I did and I have to do all 100 again.

Looking at the npvr.db3 file I see the URLs in the CHANNEL_MAPPING database and I correct the URL to the new URL I want and then go to Channels page in NextPVR settings and the new URL is reflected, however when I play the channel it reverts the URL back to what was in the original m3u file. Where else do I have to edit the URL for a channel so that it doesnt revert back and I dont have to keep configuring the schedules direct programing guide for each channel?

Thanks!

If you're manually updating the database, you'll probably need to stop NextPVR, update the database, then restart it.

Sweet that worked. Thank you very much. This is going to be a huge help when changing source URLs.
