Tvheadend

As far as I am aware, Services are only created from scanning a Mux. I do not believe there is a way to manually create a Service (which is a shame and annoying, I agree.)

Actually it works by manually "playing" the mux, it then creates the service. By that I can avoid the IP ban from the provider, but with potentially 150 channels in the m3u I would like to add to my setup that will take a while haha.

A nice feature would be to overwrite PIDs and batch create the services for such providers. Unfortunately the data in the muxes files seems to be binary... I could not find the service reference, ... so I assume it is included in the mux file once the scan is completed.

Maybe one of the devs has an idea on this.

Did u find a way around this? My m3u has 700 channels and the only ones it automaps to a service are weirdly the XXX and the music channels.

I was using my list in Plex but have my devices can't work with the streams. Tvheadend seems to work with the problem channels fine but adding over 700 manually is keeping me from changing. My provider allows me 8 connections so it shouldn't be getting blocked

In network settings enter maximum # of input streams. My provider allows max 3 simultaneous connections so I entered max. 3 streams, then it scanned m3u 3 channels at the time.
