Shooty.. will any of the new releases work with Linux ?
At present I do not have a Linux setup to try on.
Could you try the 16.3 version for me?
*It is now in the repository, or the link in post1 is updated.

As far as I know, it should work on all platforms.
It is written using Kodi "%special" protocol for all file system calls.

I remember you had problems with a specific Platform/processor, but can't remember the outcome.

Please let me know.
Thanks

Alright Shooty.. got good news and got bad news.

Installed 16.3. First question is what happened to the sequential full channel list ? I really miss and used that.

What IS working for me is the Live TV/EPG tab. It is a copy of what I see on my Live TV PVR screen with my playlist channels. Not the FULL list

Haven tried many times to load the Movies and PPV but I end up with no data

Upon IPTVXtra startup you are asked if you want to do an update.
Select Yes.
You can choose categories to update.
*TV channels and EPG format changes require a restart.
*PPV and VOD does not require restart.
You will be asked to select the VOD categories to update (select multiple items and click OK).
Upon restart, select no to do an update, select Video on Demand, select a category that you updated.

"What IS working for me is the Live TV/EPG tab. It is a copy of what I see on my Live TV PVR screen with my playlist channels. Not the FULL list".
Does LiveTV channels work?
When you say "My account info still shows blanks", are you referring to Account info tab on main menu?
* There is a bug in that section( window opens Empty, close window and it opens again with all account info, close window and it opens Empty, then you can close it ???)

Can you provide a Debug.log or the Kodi.log (or just the pertinent ERROR: lines)?
or just more info re; platform / linux version/ kodi version etc.

I remember something about Connection pool errors with libreElec, but that's it!
Sorry, but thanks for trying anyway.

As I mentioned, I do not have a Linux Platform setup right now.
I found this info, regarding updating the Python interpreter in kodi for linux, that might be the cause of the problem.

Above my skill level....... I run the service thru PVR with a small playlist. When I wanted to watch a channel not on my playlist,
I went to IPTVXTRA to watch there, because you could watch any channel in the service list. Now that function is no
longer there, leaving only VOD. I'll just pass on XTRA since I get plenty of movies from KODI and Trakt.

Appreciate your efforts

Thanks much

That function is still there.
Moved it to "PVR setup & System Tools" labeled LiveTV Backup.

Now that I know about this, I will setup a Linux environment to test on.

Thx

I know this is an old thread, but will post anyway.
Three days now, IPTVXtra II does not function. It loads the channels ie: CNN / MSNBC etc. The channels does not work anymore.
I run IPTVXtra II version 7.7 inside KODI 18.7, on Raspberry Pi, and version 7.8 on Kodi 18.8 on Android and both same issue.
This only starred (3) days ago, before that, ran flawless.
Checked the Kodi log.
p1.iptvrocket.tv/.............
ERROR Open-fail to open source.
Strangely, PVR Simple client works fine with live TV on both devices.
Has the format of the live URL changed?
 
This makes no seance-I delighted Kodi and started over.
I downloaded a new copy of KODI 18.8 and one add-one
and it's the same damn thing the add-one comes up but
I can't download anything.
