Just arranged them through the All Channels tab and rescanned. Looks like the order was preserved.

i purchased a nas that supports kodi but unfortunately there are no pvr clients so i gave this a try for epg.
i have everything working but have a few questions..

i had a m3u list and wrote a script that creates a .strm file for each channel with the correct filename(channel name) with the stream url inside.
i noticed in the userdata folder the file custom_stream_urls_autosave.ini which seems to contain this info,theres also a backup i assume which is created whenever u add a new stream for a channel.
i can also create this easily with a script so if i exit the tvguide app and replace this file will that be ok?
i think it will but at the same time dont want to have to manually link all the channels again.

i also created a folder with all the channel logo's and they work fine also but i missed a few and restarting the tvguide it doesnt check the logo folder for changes.
during testing i found for any changes to show i had to exit the tvguide and delete the source.db file and then start the guide for the changes to take effect.
again this involves re-linking all the streams to the channel so is there a easier way to reload the logo's?

again thanks for your improvements.

Settings \ Source \ Reset on Start
got the logo's updated.

and..

Settings \ Optional \ Import m3u
worked perfectly also,even channels i didnt have mapped play without asking to select the stream.

100% my fault for not scrolling down in thaT section(Optional).i missed the slider bar on the side.
i must looked at it 100 times and didnt notice it.

Thanks Again.

I wonder if it would be possible to add a related feature, something that may be a bit more complicated to code. Would it be possible to add 'Preview' and 'Save' functions in the streamaddon.xml like the one in streamsetup.xml for the selected addon thumbnail? Being able to stay in streamaddon until a working addon link is found would speed things up when a number of addon channel links aren't streaming properly.

Then something else that might be easier to implement. It'd be nice to display the currently linked addon for the selected channel somewhere in main.xml while surfing channels. If not both addon logo and addon name, maybe just code for the logo that would be nice to see on the left end of the bottom touch menu.

Very cool to see Blackbear199 here

Is that good enough?

Settings \ Playback \ Try Other Alternative Streams if Play Fails.

I've tested that in the past, but I'd rather not have to choose the addon to launch a channel each time I start it.

That might do the job. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try.

Something you could do, which I do, is create .strm files for your channels. Add the plugin or url entry on a new line, and if the first line fails it will automatically try line two. Add your streams in with highest preference at the top.

EDIT:

For reference, I have BBC One with a multi-line .strm

Line 1: Source from my dish
Line 2: http link ripped from iPlayer
Line 3: Plugin link from iPlayer plugin
Line 4: Plugin link from Freeview add-on
Line 5: Plugin link from TVCatchup

If line 1 (my dish) fails to play, it will automatically fallback to line 2. If line 2 then fails, it falls back to line 3, and so on.
