I run a high CPU HTPC under Linux, using PVR Simple Client in KODI. I use VLC to create my playlist.
Service was working until 3 days ago. Guideloads, external channels (CBS News) all play, and all my KODI
addons play movies fine.
The channels and Guide both load OK..BUT nothing plays, and I have made no changes.
There seems to be others with the same problem

Per Dragon Killers announcement post, I set my DNS servers per his values... didn't help
Have tried using different playlists... none will play

Maybe a link to download a PC player for KODI

Crazed 8.4 has tried to help, but its time to appeal to the community
