That's all they provide unfortunately. So best to have merge running every hour.
Eventually I'll make it so different sources can refresh at different times just when needed. So Samsung could do every hour. The rest evey 12 hours etc
As for numbering channels, it depends if they already have channel numbers. If a channel is imported with Chan 950 it shouldn't get bumped if you add a chan 3. Often channel numbers are advertised and remembered. It would be bad to start shifting them.
You could also have two channel 3s from different providers. So yes. Can have same channel numbers.
in IPTV Merge you can set a source to not import channel numbers. Then they are ordered via their position. And their numbers are based off their position. So setting a channel number will set that to top and all others will then follow that.
So say for sumsung where numbers are pretty irelvant. You could set that to not import them. And also set them to be hidden by default. Then simply enable the ones you want and they will position themselves following your numbered channels.
Or even can set a starting channel number for them as well. So they could start at 500 for example.
Oh wait, can't remember if I made starting channel number per source possible yet.
Numbering and sorting channels is actually a lot harder than you would think. So many different ways and people who want different things
The order you see in Tv Manager is the order they should end up in after merge.
