@Dimension
also you can if you have the stream llinks add to database manualy
if you use windows download https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/ open source.db
and you can add stream links manualy

As for my channels I was informed to edit the addon.xml file which I did. When I look at the custom_stream_url table I am seeing my channels listed twice and each one for the stream_url column is listed as service=playlist_1&cid=4 with 'cid=' being incremented by 1 for each channel. Is this the way it should be or should I be able to see the actual streaming URL link in this column?

(2021-10-03, 16:13)Dimension Wrote:I was able to resolve my streaming issue by uninstalling M-TVGuide then reinstalling it. Once reinstalled I manually configured M-TVGuide so that it only looked at the EPG and I did not associate any m3u files with it. Once this was done I opened up M-TVGuide and associated the channel with a favorite which made an entry in the database which was expected. Now what is interesting is that when I selected the next channel and associated that one with a favorite it did not make any entries in the custom_stream_url table. Since I already had the entry from the first channel that did work I simply added a new line in the table for the channel and pointed it to the favorite and now this new channel is working correctly in M-TVGuide. Unfortunately my logos are still missing but this is a minor problem.(2021-10-03, 14:29)Kangool Wrote: @DimensionThanks for the suggestion for some of my channel logos where not showing up and when I looked in the channels table I noticed that the logos that I was missing were set to NULL.

RE: m-TVGuide - M89SE - 2021-10-03
@Dimension Have you manually assigned a folder with channel logos? When adding new logos you might need to force a EPG update for them to appear (EPG update interval == Every start).
https://github.com/Mariusz89B/script.mtvguide/wiki/Wiki#search-for-channel-logos-in-xmltv_logo_folder
The channel logo names need to match the channel title.
channel title + .png
Eg.
Animal Planet.png
P. S
There is a setting that clears all custom streams from the database, so no need to reinstall the add-on.
Database -> Delete custom streams

Is this a folder that I need to create and then DL all of the logo's into it?

RE: m-TVGuide - M89SE - 2021-10-03
@Dimension If you are using a EPG from local file then it's possible to import logos from a local folder. Else the add-on is reading the icon src url in the EPG itself.
eg.
xml:<channel id="TVP 1 PL">
<display-name lang="pl">TVP 1 PL</display-name>
<icon src="http://m-tvguide.pl/ikony/PL/25.05.2021/tvp_1_pl.png" />
RE: m-TVGuide - Dimension - 2021-10-03
I found the xmltv_logo_folder key in the settings table in the database but it is empty. The xmltv_file key is pointing to my EPG which is correct. It looks as if I need to create the logo folder and then point the key to the folder location in the database. I am sure something is wrong here for this is getting way more complicated I would think then most people want to get.

RE: m-TVGuide - M89SE - 2021-10-03
In the EPG tab section. You just select the folder with the logos.

RE: m-TVGuide - Dimension - 2021-10-03
Well M-TVGuide works now on my Windows box with any issues but when I attempted to set it up on my RPI4 running Xbian I am having an issue. Whenever I click on a channel within M-TVGuide it flickers. If I click on the channel directly from the add-on it does not flicker. It does not matter then channel or the addon the screen always flickers when trying to watch the stream through M-TVGuide.
RE: m-TVGuide - M89SE - 2021-10-03
@Dimension Can't be related to m-TVGuide, the add-on is using the built-in Kodi player. Might be some sort of Kodi, inputstream.adaptive or rtmp setting.
EDIT:
There is one thing that I could think of, try Enable / Disable fullscreen animations within the add-on settings.

Thanks for the feedback for I also have a ticket open on the Xbian forum on this issue as well.
