IPTV EGP not loading automatically, only manually

[gaburko]

Hi all,
I am pretty sure I'm doing a stupid mistake somewhere. 
The situation: I have NextPVR installed on my win11 homeserver which "feeds" a Kodi client in the living room. I have two sources, our local DVB-C provider and an IPTV source. The DVB-C works well fully automatic (downloads the EPG on its own, feeds to Kodi, works like a charm). The IPTV works for the TV Signal very well.
The problem: The IPTV source though, doesn't work automatically for EPG. It works only if I do manually Channels -> Advanced Tools  -> AutoMap. From there I have to pick up the EPG source and then select Channel Names as Map Strategy. I have to do this every day, otherwise there's no EPG. 

I attach my log files if this helps.

Thank you!

I can't understand why you'd need to do that each day. Does just going and hitting 'update epg' pull in the guide data?

Thanks for the reply. That's what I'd thought, but no, it doesn't. If I dont, it doesnt update (the IPTV channels I mean).

The only reason you'd have to do that is if your IPTV provider is changing the IDs of the channels every single day, in which case you're screwed. (and it'd be the only IPTV provider I've ever heard of doing that)
