I have a custom m3u source that I set a channel in (channel-number="706")
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="KVIEDT" channel-number="706" tvg-chno="706" tvg-id="KVIEDT" tvg-name="KVIEDT" tvc-guide-stationid="34197",PBS-KVIE
http://192.168.1.3:7778/pbs/watch/KVIE
This DVR server has four sources (1 channel per source) using channels 706, 3777, 3779 and 5007.
When I tried to play my custom channel 706, Channels DVR tuned to channel 706 on my HDHR Prime (which is not assigned a guide provider on this server and is the lowest priority source).

What I did as a temporary workaround is to change the channel-number
in the m3u.
Channels DVR v2024.11.18.1326, if it matters.
