Hi Ken,

I tried in Kodi 18.0/RPI3 but kodi is resetting when try to get the channel list

15:49:54.345 T:1938076240 ERROR: Control 55 in window 10025 has been asked to focus, but it can't
15:50:05.538 T:1647350640 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.video.IPTVXtra/?mode=iptv
15:50:08.820 T:1938076240 ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://plugin.video.IPTVXtra/?mode=channel&cat=%2A) failed

any clue?
 
I'm a complete NOOB re: RasPI

All I can suggest is Read and check Faq's and known problems
Code:
https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_on_Raspberry_Pi
Code:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Raspberry_Pi_FAQ

Then I would suggest you not use nightly's or beta's or alpha's, or even Release Candidates, if you expect things to work as they should.
!7.6 is current release for that platform.

Sorry, but it is impossible to help remotely on a non-stable release.
I could spend hours searching for a cause and it usually is related to Kodi bugs in the pre-release.

Good Luck though

Im currently using Simple IPTV PVR client with Potato TV.

If I instal your add-on, which also uses Simple IPTV PVR, will there be a conflict in settings?

Or can both Potato and yours exist harmoniously?
 
Kens … Install was SMOOTH. Only issue I have is with the VOD. If I set the VOD Genre filter to on OR off, I get the same movie list. Can't get the Genre categories to show up.

That is one of the sections I have to write over from scratch, so in the meantime it is a workaround patch job.
You get all the English VOD/Extras, or you get all of it. (*This is why I had to exclude the Adult stuff ...I couldn't get rid of it!)
(At least people can access the VOD items)

Hi Kens,

I tried again with stable version (LibreElec 17.6) and works great, thanks !!
 
Hi Ken, I just can't get IPTVExtra to connect. I enter the donation number in settings and select everything else you said and then get invalid login error when I click to open IPTV.

Do you have a MAC# linked to your account?
You cannot connect to get playlist data if you have a MAC#.
You need to set your account to Playlist Access which will remove the MAC#

FYI - You can make a Custom playlist from a template, and access the services while having a MAC#.
You just can't get a full playlist prepared for you by the Server and uploaded for u 2 download.

Shutdown Kodi then Go and do an IPTV Reset.
If it still wont connect, let me know your Portal/ Server.

I tried to download IPTVXtra and got this window saying "the key you provided for file access was invalid"..

Has it been removed?

Edit: NVM got it now. Will give it a whirl and report back. Thanks Ken. You guys do so much for us.
Really appreciate it.
 
Hi Ken, so I was able to get into the IPTVXtra following your steps but no EPG. It's definitely set on the 2nd URL with the guide_ks.xml. Also do you always access the channels by by clicking on IPTV or do you open IPTV Simple?

I guess I will have to make a Video!!
Once you click auto-setup of PVR , IPTVXtra loads the playlist file and the guide data into iptv simple client.
Then it enables it. The channels and guide load up, and you get a TV Icon on Home Screen main menu.
click TV and you get a channel list, but the sub menu has the guide selection.(or slide to left of screen and select it from the side menu.
You only use IPTVXtra for accessing VOD. (the iptv menu item is just to load the channel list (no guide data)).

EPG Timeshift No Effect

I just started using IPTVExtra (previously using PotatoTV). Im using the HD version of the xml guide and I noticed that no matter what offset I put in the PVR IPTV Simple Client that it doesn't shift any of the times in the guide. I have also made sure that the setting 'apply time shift to all channels' is selected. The time shift worked when I was using PotatoTV with kens guide. Anyone else experiencing this?

Any changes to PVR settings requires clearing of the database.
Disable IPTV Simple client.
Go to system Settings/ PVR&LiveTV/ General tab - clear data and confirm by OK.
Go back to PVR Settings and change the Offset time of the EPG then Save by OK.
Enable the PVR.
