I have been using a paired down M3U through telly/Plex. I'd like to have the Sunday ticket and live event channels mapped in Plex but the URLs change weekly so this break my config.
I started working on a small Java app to download the master M3U nightly which would then update the channel URLs I'm interested in, but I've discovered that my IPTV provider changes the tvg-name randomly. I cannot come up with any logic that would work to properly match the URL with the channel records.
Has anyone successfully gotten these types of channels to work in Plex? If so what's the secret?
you might want to look into xtream-editor.com
It is a service that you paste in the big provider URL, then it allows you to edit it to your liking.
It also pulls updates at regular intervals, so in theory, you always have an up to date m3u, with all the customization you want
It is not a free service, but i find it worth the small fee
