Hi All,

I'm in desperate need of some help here.

Every time I turn XBMC on and go to Live TV I get the message "LOADING CHANNELS FROM CLIENTS". This takes absolutely ages and I can't watch TV for a long time until this is down loaded. Is this normal?

Does anyone know of a way of fixing this, or a way I can actually save the channels when downloaded?

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me.

Thanks,

Phil.

Yeah that's what I'm using. Any ideas?

yeah, remove it Wink

This plugin simply loads the playlist _you_ configured it to use. Depending on the size and location of that, it will take a while to parse. Some "full free TV playlists" out there have >1k of "channels", hardly any work though...

Or right. This is becoming very complex ha!

So if I remove this altogether can you suggest the best option to replace it?

Please contact me via pm if this is a better option.

Thanks.

Ok I understand that, but if I want to reduce the amount of channels I am downloading can you tell me where to look for the links?

I assume there is no way of saving the channels so you don't have to download them every time it's turned on?

ofc there is, the plugin allows you to use a local file instead of an URL. Thats about as far as we'll go to help you with that.

I'm currently using a wifi connection. Could this be a problem for the initial download? Could an Ethernet cable work better?
