Keep the matching ID, not private access details.

A reference ID can help compare names between data sources. Your actual guide or account may use another identifier. Confirm that mapping before replacing a working configuration; this ID is not a password, playlist or access credential.

Useful next checks.

  • Compare the complete channel and feed names.
  • Keep the programme date and viewing city.
  • State dialogue, subtitles and guide language separately.
