Need a way to update video feed locations if IPTV source makes changes on their end

[BEisem]

telly release with the issue: telly, version 1.5.0 (branch: HEAD, revision: d56d29269ca121a00d0cd2340b67be284a33f719) build user: root@873a25215547 build date: 20180916-04:00:37 go version: go1.10.3

Operating environment (Docker/Windows/Linux/QNAP, etc.): macOS

Description of problem: When you first set up telly with your video provider, it pulls the data from the provider to populate the list of available "VIDEO TRACK" items. This dropdown menu is available in the "Edit Channel" screen. However, if the IPTV provider rearranges their channels or makes any changes on their end, these changes are not reflected in the dropdown menus.

Case in point: Iris recently revamped their local channels, organizing them by network. So there are separate folders for ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX local affiliates. However in telly, these new folders are not showing up. They are still in the old folder structure, and as a result, if you try to play one of these streams, telly throws an error similar to:

ERRO[2018-09-17T12:21:58-04:00] Error when starting streaming                 error="307301 is not a valid stream id"
ERRO[2018-09-17T12:21:58-04:00] Error while serving request                   error="Error #01: 307301 is not a valid stream id\n" fields.time="2018-09-17T16:21:58Z" ipAddress=192.168.7.59 latency=1.234674ms method=GET path=/auto/v1 status=500 userAgent=Lavf/58.9.100

And fails to play the stream.

Ideally, there should either be a way to rebuild the video stream data from the provider, or when you click to rebuild the guide data, it should also refresh this data as well.
