IPTVX app vs Channels DVR: Something is off?!

Channels DVR Server
#1

Hey all. I have just converted from IPTVX Media server (So I can record sports) to Channels DVR.
What I've noticed the following:

  1. IPTVX shows all the movies, sports, countries, shows etc.
  2. Channels DVR shows just a long list. If I click movies it shows nothing. Shows: Nothing. I can't search or sort for anything.

Here's a comparison of the two with photo.

Is this because Channels uses M3u and IPTVX uses X Stream?

Channels DVR isn't really designed to be used with non-legitimate services in mind. I think the general opinion is what you do is your business but they won't go out of their way to make non official sources work. What you'll find here is a multitude of community developed projects to pull in legitimate sources of all sorts. A really robust ecosystem. Welcome to the forums by the way!

Look into xstream to m3u converters

I just checked your submitted diagnostics. You have no content in your library. That’s why nothing is showing.

What exactly were you expecting to see?
