something is wrong with your kodi.
shouldn't be getting cert errors if your date etc is correct.
try a fresh install. make sure date correct.
And need full logs. That doesn't tell me what version kodi you have, whats it running on etc
just added a new "TESTING" version of IPTV Merge to SlyGuy repo.
This is the new DB backed re-write.
Should handle 1000s of channels and epg data not a problem.
Also stores all the data in a DB, so if a source fails, it'll use the last good values still in the output.
Also options like settings starting channel number for each source, setting a new group name etc etc.
Give it a shot
Testing version not sort all channels alphabetically, what is not really needed. Is there any way I can disable that?
You want it sorted alphabetically - or not sorted alphabetically?
..and it does not work anymore,
the log
I want channels to be sorted like they are sorted in source playlists - my 1st playlist is Polish, 2nd is American, 3rd is Ukrainian and so one, it's not really useful to have 5 versions of NatGeo of 5 discovery with the same names grouped together.
If the playlists don't have channel numbers - then by default merge starts channel numbers from 1 for each playlist
What you can do is go into your 2nd playlist source (click on it) and change the Starting Channel Number to a number after the 1st playlist.
Polish Playlist starts at 1 & American Playlists starts at 200
I'll add a feature where setting Starting Channel to 0 (could be default) means start channel numbers from after the previous playlist
However, this means the order of the playlists is relevant and also if the first playlist gets a new channel, all your channel numbers in 2nd playlist would be +1.
It comes down to how people think a merge should work.
An append would put the 2nd list under the 1st.
Or you splice them together.
I think most may think the 1st behaviour so a default of 0 to append them after each other seems the way to go
You can also make it ignore channel numbers in the playlist, ignore groups, set default group name etc
UPDATE:
Just pushed 0.0.7 of "IPTV Merge Testing"
Fix the error you had with slug conflicts
Merging is even faster - 20,000 channel playlist down from 10s to about 5-6s
A playlist with Starting Channel Number of 0 will now start its channel numbers from the previous playlists last channel number
0 is the new default for this setting, but you may need to change yours to 0 as default only sets on initial creation of the playlist
Although i can select a smb share as a source for playlist and epg, it throws an error at the merge process:

Thanks for that
Il get a fix out shortly
0.6.4 just pushed that fixes network paths
Any issues between iptv merge and the dstv now addon? It does not seem to merge the EPG properly at the moment.
Edit:
What I've tried so far:
- Uninstall dstv now, iptv merge and pvr simple client including all settings for all 3 and freshly install them.
- When I look at the repo it seems changes was pushed on yesterday 9 july to both dstv and iptv merge with a description in both of "kiosk mode" whatever that means
- When opening iptv merge --> EPG and selecting dstv now it shows "150 channels / 0 programmes" so I assume it is not scraping the programme info properly?
edit2:
It now has started working, not sure why
I suspect the Dstv EPG data was down for a bit
