if the title, name and group are all the same, the channel is considered the same, so would not be imported. Is this a backup channel or something? I've not had this come up before... I should be able to come up with something to allow this though, so I'll let you know what I come up with |

@ovalseven would the channels have a different URL? |

Yes. The channels have different URLs. It's the same Channel/Content, but from a different source. |

I'm going to close this as not planned since it causes a lot of other issues that will affect a larger number of users, including myself, after doing some testing. If relying on the URL for uniqueness (which would allow duplicate channels, like you want), and I update my username/password at my provider, the URLs change, meaning any changes I've made in m3u editor will be nuked as all channels would now be considered "new", causing all the old channels to be removed. By using the existing method, provider URLs can be updated without affecting customizations. |

I understand if you can't use the URL. Maybe there's something else here? Here's the affected part of my source m3u:

Just a FYI with the playlist editor I was building (until I found this 😆) I used a composite primary key for channels based on the playlistId and the URL (just the last part before the extension) as duplicate channels can be common across providers. I also found the tvgTags would often change but not the urls |

looks like channel number could be the key, I'll see what I can come up with... |

Unfortunately I've not had a chance to get back to this one yet. I've come up with a couple solutions, but it would break it for everyone (the unique channel logic would change), so trying to come up with a retro-active solution, or one that works without breaking the existing functionality. The main case I'm running into for these is PPV, and I've gotten a few requests to handle PPV differently than regular channels, so I thinks that's the direction. Just got figure out the path! 😉 |
