    Hi all

    I've got an M3U list of live TV streams and when I add them to Jellyfin I get the stream code in the name of the channel. Is there anyway to stop this as it's messing up my ordering.

    So my M3U file is laid out like this.

    tvg-id="channel1.uk" tvg-name="001 - Channel 1" tvg-logo="https://exampleimage.png" group-title="Shows"
    http://exampleurl.com/username/password/123456

    so I would expect the channel name to be 001 - Channel 1 and if I go to the channel and edit it's metadata that's what the Title shows as. But in the channel list it's showing as 123456 001 - Channel 1

    Is there any way to stop Jellyfin from picking up this number and using it in the title?

    I don't think you can do this natively with Jellyfin's EPG editor.

    I'd recommend looking into an M3U proxy. Recently installed https://github.com/Dispatcharr/Dispatcharr which works great for me

    That's a shame, it seems to me that if you put in a title in the metadata that should really overwrite everything else but never mind.
