has been quite a while since i tried to use this, but it still seems to only have a 750 channel limit per m3u, am i missing something or why can we not turn off this limit? I wanted to try this but jellyfin and emby both work fine with my usual m3u8/epg with about 4-8k channels total, and i really don't want to manually split into hundreds of m3u8's and have them updated/refreshed daily.. Im happy to pay for the subscription but just seems like a very very small amount of channels?
750 channels is a small amount??
I've got my m3u down to under 200 and at least half of those I never, ever watch. lol

I don't watch any of them but the family does, or would like the ability to if they decide to lol, Just don't understand the need for a limit, i mean if the hardware/etc permits im not sure what else would be a problem.. they all work fine on emby, i mean it does take a little while to refresh the epg data every day but the nas has alot of resources, i just mean it would be nice to import it all at once, rather than trying to find a good way to split it into 749 or 750 entries per file and have it update all of those every day, i guess i just dont understand why there is a cap on the entries.. it looks like you can have many seperate entries and even different types of sources
I'm pretty sure it's to prevent usage with all of the shady/pirate/fly-by-night IPTV services that offer thousands of channels for a few bucks. They sometimes have crappy guide data too, but YMMV. But the point is, no legitimate site with permission to sell or offer access to those channels include more than 500 channels.
Anyway, for what it's worth: once installed, this add-on software could handle that for you automatically: [RELEASE] Playlist Manager for Channels [Streaming Library Manager Extension]
thanks for the reply and link, still seems odd for the software to be worried about what the user is watching, as they aren't hosting said content as its on the end users device (like plex, or anything else, which also doesnt police end users video files), seems like something a disclaimer or an environment variable toggle could remedy, but what do i know.. I'm not as worried about guide data as i use iptvboss for that and it works amazingly well.. I guess this just isn't the product for me.. Emby handles my playlist perfectly as does jellyfin so im covered, i just occasionally see what else exists in this space and wanted to support other projects and run it side-by-side with the others to play with but its just more hassle for no real benefit sadly, ill revisit in the future maybe they will change it.. thanks again and have a wonderful week!

Annoyed IP lawyers are just as expensive to fight as any other lawyer. That's how they operate, make it cost you in legal fees even if it doesn't stand a chance of getting anywhere in the courts. If I were a small company I'd protect myself the same way.
