just shutdown kodi to upgrade to 16.1 RC2 first attempt to load channels failed but second loaded so I guess its up again, or it takes a little longer to load channels there was also a couple of addon updates going on at first.
fine here like i said but you could be on another server because i ask others when im down and they are still up thats why i say that i could be wrong on that
Not sure if related to your problem but I've gotten Authentification Failure twice this week, including today (changing MAC and resetting IPTV fixed it both times though)
