So i would see always at worst the next 2 days. Anyway great work, thanks

I will see what I can do.

If you have a link where i could send you some Thank you, then let me know, really awesome your work

A small correction in 9.6.2_v53.

Just to be clear, the epg you provided is in xmltv format?

Yes, I am using the xmltv link provided by m34u's website.
Thanks for looking into this.

I suspect the epg is not cooperating with the addon, could you send me this epg or a fragment of it on PM and I will see if I need to add support for it?

The first rows of the EPG should look like this:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<tv generator-info-name="WebGrab+Plus/w MDB & REX Postprocess -- version V2.1.5 -- Jan van Straaten" generator-info-url="http://www.webgrabplus.com">

EDIT:
Are there any strange characters in the epg that might call an utf-8 decode error?

@Kangool Fixed category switch:
https://github.com/Mariusz89B/script.mtvguide/releases/tag/9.6.2_v58

EDIT:
In my opinion the add-on seems to be stable enough to be added to our repository, I only need a OK from @Dimension about loading local epg files and if EPG interval is working as supposed @Kangool @Werner .
