The following options are available on the channel settings page:
Move a channel to another playlist. To do this, click on the "playlist" button and in the list that appears select the name of the playlist to which the channel will be moved.

Rename the channel. When importing your original playlist into the system, the channel names are taken from the file of the imported playlist. The name does not always correspond to the official name of the channel or you want to rename the channel at your discretion.
Channel icon and EPG (electronic program guide). When you import your original playlist, the system compares the name of the channel with the existing channel library for automatic icon mapping and EPG.
If in your original playlist file the channel name coincides with the official name, such channel will have a green background colour of the logo.
If the channel name partially coincides with the value of the name from the channel library, such channel will have a red background colour of the logo.
If no matches are found, the channel will be displayed on a green background without a logo.
Channel's logo and EPG:
When importing a playlist, the system compares the names of the channels in the file with the names of the channels of our library.
In case of partial coincidence, the channel will be marked with a red background colour.
To confirm the channel definition, click the radio button next to the channel logo and confirm by pressing the "save" button.
If the channel is misidentified by the system, you can link the logo and EPG in "manual" mode.
To do this, click the "channel icon and program guide". In the list that appears, click on the corresponding channel logo.
If you are having trouble finding a channel in the library, switch the output of the channels in alphabetical order.
Update Playlist:
To automatically update the playlist, you must enable auto-update on the playlist settings page and specify a link to automatically download the playlist.
Attention! The file must be available for download without authorization! In other words, if you insert a link to download the file in the address bar of the browser and press Enter, the download of the playlist file should begin. If you are offered to log in on the opened page (enter login-password), this playlist will not be automatically updated.
You can also specify the frequency of checking for updates (by default - once a day).
The system will analyze the changes on your source site and, in the case of new channels or deletion of non-working channels, will automatically save these changes if the links within the playlist change. All channels added as a result of auto-update will be saved in the "auto-update" group.
