livetv multiple m3u sources - sycolth - 2025-08-26

Hi, 
I'm testing jellyfin, and I need some help understanding something: 
I have 2 m3u lists, from different providers, they contain the same channels with the same names and IDs, and they both allow 1 stream each. Perfect for watching a channel while the DVR is recording another one. 
But in jellyfin all channels appear as duplicates.
Is there a way to merge the channels and have jellyfin remember which provider is already in use?
I'm quite versed in bash and python, so if there's a way I should restructure the lists before feeding them into jellyfin I'm fine with that too.
Thanks
