hidden input wont work as rpc needs dialog.

to reproduce scroll issue, I just turn on shortcuts type index.  have guide, type like 030 to go to a channel. It scrolls that channel to top but when you come back to guide you can't scroll up from channel 030.  It thinks thats the first channel.

 
Input.ExecuteAction works without a dialog eg:

Code:

http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc?Input.ExecuteAction

[{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"number0"},"id":40}]

The possible actions are here: https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v8#Input.Action

You can change channel without the number dialog with 3 calls for the number and "shift" to begin the sequence if you use that Setting.

[EDIT] Use DoctorEggs new "Sort Index" shortcut type and grab the channel numbers from source.db with

Code:

select weight, title from channels;

and the logos if you want to make a visual web page too.

Does it do the same with the Default skin?

 No it does not. It works as it should. Saves the setting.

Is the actual exit.on.back setting in settings.xml changing?

This is the bit of code that closes TVGF if it is set to true and play.minimized is false (play in the small window).

 Yes it does change in the xml file.  It is not a big deal to me. I just wanted to point it out.

Thanks. I'd like to get it fixed if possible.

 Did you add an xmltv file in Settings\Source and the m3u in Settings\Optional?

 TV Guide Fullscreen might be a bit tricky for you to start with.
It might be easier to have a look for a TV Guide with pre-configured program data.
TVGF is quite powerful but can be a bit complicated to set up.

What country do you need data for?

The most flexible way is to make your own xmltv program data file with Webgrab+Plus. http://www.webgrabplus.com/
That isn't that easy either but covers almost every TV channel on the planet.
You can use this to automate some of the steps. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=285918

 For US/Canada you could use edit4ever's addon.
https://github.com/edit4ever/script.module.zap2epg

For UK you could try my simple "tvguide.co.uk now 2" Source in Settings\Lab2.

You could pull in the US xmltv in Settings\Lab3 too.

There are a few places you can pay for xmltv data like SchedulesDirect.org and iptv-epg.com

Webgrab isn't too tricky if you follow my quick start guides for the configurator addon.

There are also plenty of xmltv sources on Github and Google if your search powers are up to it.
Some probably connect to sites with banned addons, so you're own your own there.

I'm having issues with the XML parser. 

When I load a previously working xml epg from webgrab, after resetting epg data and reset "everything, it starts parsing the xml data, but then it stops and hangs. I restart Kodi, and the the EPG data shows up, but it looks partial. So I wonder if the full parsing took effect.

More importantly, I have a different epg.xml file generated by a different service (it only loads a few hours of programming) . It works great on pvr iptv simple, but it doesn't load your addon, it throws a parsing error.

Send me a link to the xmltv file.
Usually it is an unescaped xml character.
Something like & that should be &
Otherwise it is probably a unicode character.

Look in the xml file at line 199, column 45
