Atleast once or twice a month (sometimes weekly) my IPTV providers channel list changes. I just went through my first update on this platform and I seriously thought about deleting my old list and recreating it, it was that painful.
First it never changed anything automatically.
Second when I clicked on review changes, everything was set to delete so I figured those were all the old channels, and removed them (wasnt a long list) at which point I returned to my group list and selected a few only to find out they all were empty.
Go back and forced a sync, and had to go through rematching everything, and after about 30 minutes of fixing matches I finally noticed the channel numbers started where my old channels left off (2500-3000 instead of 1-400, for some reason it included my VOD items)
After I finished matching everything I had a bunch of channels with 0 as the number, and the new ones I just added, and finally did a channel recount, which fixed it the numbering issue but put the channels in the wrong order.
Would love to see this work much easier in the future.
Channel list -> Channel ID -> Same URL | If URL is different to update
