Hello all!

First off, I'm in the US.

So I've signed up for an account with Style IPtv, successfully configured a xTeVe setup in a docker container, and have had a plex server running for years (Lifetime membership).

Everything is setup and working fine; I have no issues seeing live TV on Plex, the Guide functionality works well etc. My complaint is, that my IPtv provider (Style IPtv) uses channel numbers that don't really match anything. I've spent the last 4 hours manually mapping what they send over, to try and get it as close to a DirecTV guide as possible. I keep running into issues though. Many of the channels are listed (from my provider) under multiple groups (VIP US, and again under just US). I can't keep up with hundreds of channels, and accidentally mapped one channel to two selections, which of course caused Plex to throw an error, crash, and leave me having to start over.

So I want to ask - how is everyone doing this? Is there something I'm missing on mapping the channels I receive from my provider to Plex? Does everyone else sit for hours on end and map these things one at a time? I feel like I'm missing something...

Thanks in advance!

Edit - As an alternative, has anyone had a great experience with a provider sending channel numbers that line up with a national US service better than the one I'm using? I have no problem at all buying in somewhere else, if it's worth it.
