Problem with .m3u

[Tizer]

Move post if in wrong section not sure IKS66 or EPG section

Hey have noticed a bit of a bug in the .m3u generation and was wondering if theres anything tiniblax can get fixed.

Its related to .m3u usage and EPG with Iptvsimple Client I try to explain

The Created .m3u has incorrect field to match up with Vipers Epg and any other .xml I can find

Looking at created .m3u It cant be fixed at the EPG end.

Example : #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="50716" tvg-name="Channel 4" tvg-logo="http:

tvg-id field is only a Partial schedule Direct id and the line needs to read

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="I227.50716.schedulesdirect.org" tvg-name="Channel 4" tvg-logo="http:

Viper Tweaking his Outputs could maybe help if NFPS tvg-id was added as a <display-name> but I think I'm seeing a lot of tvg-id="" (blank) so may need tweek done at .m3u generation

Meantime I can manually edit .m3u for channels I watch and get Epg up.

Hope someone Can work a fix.

If theres any automated solution would be cool.

How did you manage to get a m3u list?

Follow the directions in the thread below. Instead of using the Rocket Route Manager, however, sign into your IPTV66 Donation Checker and apply the instructions.

Seems the m3u option is fixed, now hope they fix the streams on most channels.

Tizer, I opened up the .m3u file in LibreOffice Writer and used "Find and Replace" to edit it to your example and it seems to work, although I've only tried a few channels so far.

You need to edit it twice:
Find: #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id=" and replace all with: #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="I227.

And then:
Find: " tvg-name and replace all with: .schedulesdirect.org" tvg-name

I used Linux to do this but I believe it would work in Windows.

As always, rename your original .m3u file first so you can go back to it if needed.

Edit: I've found many channels that still go to the wrong place in Windows Kodi, so I guess it's not a complete solution after all.
