For both SeriesID and ProgramID would like to see the fast provider name as the prefix instead of fastchannels/.
Example;
pluto/6a6a558f8a82c01510251277 instead of fastchannels/6a6a558f8a82c01510251277
Is that doable?

Yes, but very short timeline.
Set the source to refresh every 60 minutes.
And set Channels DVR to refresh the XMLTV every 60 minutes.
These are my FastChannel Source refresh times (Interval)
I have all my Channels DVR XMLTV sources set to refresh every hour.
Do you have the non grace note one?

I have the non-gracenote Roku disabled in Channels DVR. Not enough guide data.
Here is the Roku scraped guide view from FastChannels.
Specifically, it seems like the "name" property of the corresponding FC source object would be a good candidate to use as the prefix.

Where does that view come from?
PowerShell. Invoke-RestMethod. The path part of the URI is "api/sources".
I have been using a few of the Pluto solutions over the years, they all had the form SeriesID == pluto/. I would like to stick with that for a number of reasons. I tried to modify the files myself to change it, but I'm at the point where getting the pluto/ prefix breaks the way the episodes are displayed in the guide.
Can you let me know how to modify the files myself (see the post above on what I tried so far) or possibly provide a toggle to bring back the old pluto/ prefix? Thank you.
Agreed

What would be really cool, is the ability to edit the Series ID on recordings. But I imagine that would wreak havoc on the Channels DB.
Until we have the ability to merge multiple shows together no matter their source (i.e., Gracenote recording and FAST XML recording), I can't see this happening any time soon. Unfortunately, the workaround remains the same: take FAST XML recordings and move to an import directory to get them to all match together.
This seems appropriate since the guide data IS coming from those sources and not a unified fastchannels data source.
So it'll look like this @chDVRuser @jtanderson ..
| source_slug | old_slug | proposed |
|---|---|---|
| adultswim | fastchannels/2013506 | adultswim/2013506 |
| aenetworks_tve | fastchannels/SERIES9 | aenetworks_tve/SERIES9 |
| fox_tve | fastchannels/SER001210KPFD | fox_tve/SER001210KPFD |
| pbs | fastchannels/SH015507510000 | pbs/SH015507510000 |
| warner_tve | fastchannels/79163 | warner_tve/79163 |
working on the SeriesID - i have a proposed fix.
and good catch on the Native M3U - will fix.

actually, i'm not seeing this .. to confirm, you have this setup right in Settings?
FastChannels Server URL
Yes, it has the hostname of the container on port 5523 https://<hostname>:5523. I did not change this, it was already set on install.
I'm assuming this has to be set to get Pluto channels to proxy properly -- which they are.
ahhh UX glitch. it auto-populates a suggestion, but still requires you to edit it and save it. over-write it and hit save.
