Potato, i used to see the same picture with a background music when i had the problems last week that you said that maybe was due to the m3u list not updating when the Addon updates many times. In my case that pic was showing on the Simple Client side (TV).
thanks for your feedback
after performing some testings, I finally got the similar issue like yours (maybe?)
and it happened when I tried to watch the iptv with the same account (MAC based @ p1.iptvprivateserver.tv)
using 2 different devices (andro tv box & tablet)
with the 1st device (tv box), I didn't get any issues at all
but when I tried to open a channel with the same account on the 2nd device (tablet),
the kodi refused to open it and played the pattern color test instead
after doing some researches, I knew where the bug might be and I also got the solution
the culprits were:
- the first token generated by the 1st device (tv box)
- the cache being used by the 2nd device (tablet)
the validation time of the cache file on the 2nd device has not been expired
since it's still valid, the 2nd device won't generate a new token and it choose to use the previous one (stored in the tablet)
although a new token has been changed which was generated by the 1st device (tv box)
the recommended solution:
1. you could try to
clear the caches & create a new token thru' the potato addon on the 2nd device
and here's the complete steps:
2. you could also try to change the value of the validation / expiry time of the caches to its minimum one (in hours)
- open your o/s file manager
- goto "userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.potatoTV/" directory
- find the "cache_expired.json" ("userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.potatoTV/cache_expired.json") and open it
- change any number values of cache that you want to fix it
you could use mine as the reference:
Code:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/er8gn80823b1rsb/cache_expired.json?raw=true
OR ...
you could also just delete the file ("
userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.potatoTV/cache_expired.json")
don't worry, the addon will directly generate a new one
fyi, the next release of the addon will include a new tweak setting for caches' validation time
