Hi Everyone!

I have updated my system to Kodi 18.2. However the IPTV Simple Client is also updated to the latest version and it has a bug in it, it won't play my streams.
I want to downgrade just the plugin to the previous version, can I do this somehow? If yes how? Where I could find this plugin individually?

Thank you!

Its a Debian. Not LibreELEC or other 'Kodi made' distro.

You can downgrade any Debian package with apt package manager. Search the web for "how to downgrade a package with apt". For example:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/138284/h...ia-apt-get

Kodi IPTV Simple client Debian package name is kodi-pvr-iptvsimple

However I can't downgrade to 3.5.6, this package is not available (not older packages). Can't I pull some zips to install that directly?

The earlier version available is 2.4.14 but I believe it is for Kodi 17, won't work on Kodi 18:

Yes this is the only one it showed me to install. But other dependencies don't allow to install it.

Did your streams ever played in Kodi 18 ? Lastest IPTV Simple verison is working fine for me.

I just set it up now on Kodi 18 the IPTV client (I have moved everything to a new system). 
However I need to use a little "wrapper" to pull the available streams from my carrier. Who develops that wrapper said that there is a bug in the new version, that's why it is not working for no one...

[rascas]

What is that wrapper and what is the bug exactly ? Was it reported here https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.iptvsimple ? There is almost no code changes from 3.5.6 to 3.5.7, only "cosmetic" fixes, it won't change anything for you...

I don't know in which version this changed...
This is the error I get when I want to start a stream:
