Can't load channels from my playlist! DESPERATE FOR HELP!

[1sikguy]

My PC crashed, and I've had to reload everything.

Where I am at now:

1.Thru the Iptvxtra addon, I created an M3u playlist from the addon. I only captured the INFO channel. Nothing else.

2. My old playlist, created thru VLC will play channels OK inside of VLC. When I try and load that working playlist
into PVR Simple IPTV, none of the channels load or will play.

3. EPG's Unable to get ANY guide data using Kens EPG, Acidjesuz EPG, or Iptvxtra EPG

Been dead for a week now...

Wondering if you are using the right addon and right guide source, since you say iptvxtra not iptvxtra2, and kens guide(guide_kens.xml - no longer used), not kens guide_ks.xml file source!

Anyway, I sent you a link to an IPTVXtra2 playlist "Template", so edit the xportal/ xdonation terms with your credentials, and save.

Using Ver 7.8 of addon, and the EPG for 'guide_ks.xml' also tried the iptvxtra EPG with no data.
I think that the no EPG data problem stems from not being able to load the channels into PVR channel manager

Here is the latest on this:

I loaded my box from scratch with the new Librelec version. Then installed the PVR stuff. Used an M3u playlist I had. I've got a ton of edited versions.
then used the 'guide_ks.xml' version of the EPG. Somehow ...IT WORKED!
Channels all seem to play...but I am missing guide data for about 30 channels.

Snooty:
1. Should I pull a current playlist and swap the data from the old channel data to the new channel data??
2. I just installed IptvxtraII but when I look at Live TV, it is empty. Also the VOD tab is empty

You should check here for any info regarding librelec on your Platform/ chipset.

https://libreelec.tv/2019/02/libreelec-leia-9-0-0-release/

I re-wrote IPTVXtra2 to Python3 std., but have never tested on librelec.

Let me know if there is something of interest, ...Thanks

Well Shooty...I'ts all over now. Got a working service and it has stayed stable. I'm wondering if changing to portal 6 made it any easier to work.
Anyway, it looks like portal 6 is very fast starting channels.
On IptvxtraII I Uninstalled it. It just won't work for me.m I don't know what you think I might have done wrong. All I did was download the 7.8 zip.
As for the guide... Kens guide came up with about half of the channels having no data. I switched to the Acidjesuz EPG (No offense), and it
had data for ALL the channels.

I think found out why I kept getting no data for the guides.... I didn't have the text 'EPG' in caps!

So after about 30 hours of insanity, I'm calling this problem a wrap!

to 1Sickguy, I am wondering if you are experiencing the same issues on your PC using the P6 server. Intermitting skipping, pause-restart video audio on some channels, PPV not affected. Let me no after few days switching channels if you see these issues as us Dreamlink, and other users are seeing. thanks

Yup..... started right away. What you described, stuttering, and cutting out. On lots of shows, so it's not a bad show only. With the track record of the service's installations
(look at the install of ESPN + and DAZN. Put them up, wouldn't play, took them down) it may take time to stabilize. So, if I find it's too bad to watch, I'll switch portals. Leads me to believe they
have a few bugs to work out. We've had these issues in the past and they will work it out.

Thanks for update, Now I know its not memory or CPU speed, and if you try to switch Servers there is no selection of where to go, they default you right back to the previous server you switched from, very frustrating. Seems to happen more in am and evening when more people are logged in. Seems the Moderators want to deflect the issue back to the user they have not yet agreed there are issues with servers, I got a response one time on another website that I should contact them directly since it seems I know more than they do! LOL, you would think after years of trial & error that there would be proper hardware in place to eliminate any of this kind of issue, this is not a single channel issue its all channels. Very disappointing.

I am on NFPS, and I was able to switch between server 6 and server 3, and I switched the first night.
