It turns out this didn't work right. Oddly a users fork seems to be working just fine... https://github.com/snoopyjoe/plugin.video.sling

That would be amazing!  I wasn't sure if there was something with Widevine that prevented that...  I swear I got tv mosaic to play a single stream the other day when I tested and then after that initial test it stopped working.

What I did was use the web server this addon spins up as the URL for the remote M3U and XMLTV guide URLs in TV Mosaic.  There's really not much more to it than that (at least from passing in a M3U and XMLTV guide)...  It does find the channels as well as the guide info using that but the playback appears to time out...  

If we need to take this out of the scope of this thread please let me know, I don't want to derail the thread.  I figure this would be the same setup to use for any of the other PVR backends though...  so it *might* be releventHuh 
drop me a dm if needed, keep post clean
I am unable to DM, I'd be very, very interested. I've lost almost a week trying to figure it out.

Is there a way to stop vod being updated?

I know this might be a pipe dream but any chance we could get AirTV support added?

The issue with the shows update hanging is usually because the shows has invalid timestamps or characters in them. @d21spike has resolved this issue before but every time a new show with invalid data is added to Sling, the issue reappears. I just set the VOD and Show update service intervals to 30 days, then manually update any show just before I click to watch it.

Also, I'm not sure how my fork resolves this as the only changes in it is when and where the PVR manager is restarted after the slinger service updates the guide. I abandoned the idea and turned the function into a service addon. That way if you're running two or more PVR clients, the PVR switch can restart the guide after the slinger service has started. This usually isn't a problem if you're only running IPTV PVR client. The service addon can be found here... PVR Switch

I was able to figure this out. The error happens with the Amazing Mysteries show because the JSON blob is using a key that the show.py script isn't expecting within 'thumbnail'.

The show.py script expects that the thumbnail section contain the key 'href'. In the broken episode it's 'url'.
I fixed mine by editing the show.py script directly like so:
python:
204     def processEpisode(self, episode, new_season, new_show, episode_query):
205         timestamp = int(time.time())
206         log(json.dumps(episode, indent=4))
207         new_episode = {
208             'GUID': episode['guid'],
209             'ID': int(episode['id']),
210             'Show_GUID': new_show['GUID'],
211             'Season_GUID': new_season['GUID'],
212             'Name': episode['name'],
213             'Number': int(episode['episode_number']) if 'episode_number' in episode else episode['guid'],
214             'Description': '',
215             'Thumbnail': new_season['Thumbnail'],
216             'Poster': new_show['Poster'],
217             'Rating': '',
218             'Start': 0,
219             'Stop': 0,
220             'Duration': 0,
221             'Playlist_URL': '',
222             'infoLabels': {},
223             'infoArt': {}
224         }
225 
226         if 'description' in episode:
227             if episode['description'] is not None:
228                 new_episode['Description'] = episode['description']
229         if 'thumbnail' in episode:
230             if 'url' in episode['thumbnail']:
231                 new_episode['Thumbnail'] = episode['thumbnail']['url']
232             elif episode['thumbnail'] is not None:
233                 new_episode['Thumbnail'] = episode['thumbnail']['href']
234         if 'background_image' in episode:
235             if 'url' in episode['thumbnail']:
236                 new_episode['Poster'] = episode['background_image']['url']
237             elif episode['background_image'] is not None:
238                 new_episode['Poster'] = episode['background_image']['href']

I could open a bug report or create a PR but I'm sure there is a better way to fix this...

You can also easily test the fix by navigating in the application to: Shows --> Shows A-G --> Right click Amazing mysteries --> Update Show

Has anyone figured out a real workaround for no audio on some channels (usually starz/showtime/epix)? I've found that 90% of the time the channel has no sound when first selecting it but I can switch to a non-premium channel and then switch back and it will work--most of the time. Happens on all 5 of my (varying) devices.

Is this an inputstream.adaptive issue or is there any possibility of it being a bug in the addon?

Having an issue with sling. Nothing will play. For some reason, the plugin is getting a 404 error. Is anyone else getting a similar issue? Here is a snippet of my log:
