What does the Force Sync button do?
The Force Sync button performs a regular update query on the remote M3U file, which you linked from your IPTV provider, just like a regular update that happens to your M3U file every 24 hours automatically.
The update will only look for new stream URLs in your remote M3U file. It doesn't look for new names, new groups, name changes nor will it update grops and channels you accidentally deleted in our editor.
Smashing the Force Sync button due to results you expected not happening is counterproductive as every button click will create a new job in a queue on our server and sooner or later it will end in a time-out error.
If nothing happens the first time, then there is nothing to sync!
We greatly appreciate your feedback.
