@bizzs 

Inputting following commands into any pc browser where your Tvheadend server resides on your network will provide the raw data of information that could be extracted/manipulated for use with TV Guide Fullscreen

http://ip:9981/playlist (for m3u of channels)
http://ip:9981/xmltv (for xmltv guide)

I have in past manually included a small number of TV channels from above channel playlist into my TV Guide Fullscreen (I used a different TV Guide provided via WebGrab+Plus) so know it will work.

Not personally aware of direct method of seamlessly introducing both sets of above information from url links into TV Guide Fullscreen settings or similar?

@primaeval What would be best ways to do what I believe bizzs is requesting, following are examples of data provided from my networked tvheadend server

Tvheadend Channels exampleTvheadend EPG example

 Thanks for that.
The tvg-id's match up exactly so you should be able to just import the xmltv normally and add the m3u in "Settings \ Optional \ Import m3u".
You should be able to mix in more xmltv files in Lab3.

Beware that your urls contain a ticket which probably has a time limit.
If you load them in via Stream Setup they won't get updated.
If you load them in "Settings \ Optional \ Import m3u" they should get reloaded on every TVGF restart.

@MikeKL reply is above. Thanks.

I can't work out how to get the playlist and xmltv from tvheadend without a username/password.
Do you know how to do it?

[primaeval]

version 0.0.407
- added authentication to Settings \ Optional \ Import m3u

This should help with tvheadend.
Turn on "Settings \ Optional \ authentication" and add your tvheadend username and password.
Put your tvheadend m3u in "Settings \ Optional \ Import m3u"
http://ip:9981/playlist
and your xmltv in "Settings \ Source \ xmltv"
http://ip:9981/xmltv
where ip is your tvheadend server address as @MikeKL wrote.

@primaeval Your always so blooming quick 

Quickly tested using Kodi 18 on a Win10 PC (Did not turn on Authentication as dont currently set and use username/password authentication in tvheadend) and m3u and tvguide imported successfully and can watch/listen to channels (including radio)

Just a FYI Note: When opening channel containing No guide information, TV Guide Fullscreen appears to retain information including channel name, from previous known channel played and available guide information of programme previously played on that channel.

 Did you turn off authentication on tvheadend or was it off by default on LibreELEC?

Try "Settings \ Source \ reset on start" to clear old channels.
twinther designed TV Guide to incrementally add program data; so old channels remain in the channel list by default.

Whenever I have set up Tvheadend Server on Rpi's using libreelec, I have always left network web access settings as-is, i.e. dont set any login requirements.

Then in TV Guide Fullscreen today with latest version automtically installed over previous version, I noted authentication option which was off by default and thought ok lets see if everything works after inputting the valid hyperlinks without need to authenticate etc.
(I enabled option "reset on restart" during testing)

Regarding radio stations and some tv stations in my tvheadend provided channels list, it seams that typically and by default NO EPG information is being provided and what I meant to explain in previous post is that with TV Guide Fullscreen if I play one of the empty EPG channels TV Guide Fullscreen (or perhaps its the core player information?) incorrectly maintains information of previously played channel that does hold EPG information.  If I switch between and to channels with EPG information then everything is appearing OK and correct. (No worries it was an observation when using latest Leia Nightly for general information)

 That sounds like it is a bug.
Where does the information show up? In the title and description in the epg?

After settiging it up, plugin won't start. In kodi.log there are errors:

 Try version 0.17.408.
The problem is either a channel name or a category has a = in it.
The = is the separator character in the categories.ini file.
I've made a fix to only split the lines once now from the right.
So the category can't have a = in it but the channel name can.
Look in the categories.ini file for a line with more than one = in it.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.tvguide.fullscreen/categories.ini

[pirlone]

True, I have categories like '==== KIDS ===='
I'll try new version and report back.

tnx a lot

 Try version 0.17.409.
If it is picking up the categories from the m3u group-title attribute it will replace all = with -

I should really change the ini files to use a better separator like tab but that is a big job and will probably break a lot of people's setups, so don't hold your breath.

[pirlone]

still no joy.
as soon as I select another group of channels  after first run, the plugin exits and after restarting the message "loading data from external source..." appears but it hungs.

I can replace all '==' with one '=' and try.

 Is that with version 0.17.409 ?
Are you getting your groups/categories from the m3u group-title in "Settings\Optional\Import m3u" ?

[pirlone]

yes, to both questions.
