I use the Skin helper service to add PVR Channel groups as widgets.
It often starts off displaying the groups correctly, but after an automatic widget refresh the groups become duplicated (both groups display the exact same channels). When that happens, even browsing the groups through the the Skin helper service directly via the addon section, the PVR groups will default to showing the same chanels. Browsing the groups through the simple IPTV client is fine and the groups display correctly there.
The issue is generally triggered by the changing of the widget's settings (banners,size etc.) or by the automatic built in widget refresh or by a manual refresh as well (the last 2 methods do not always cause the problem but eventually will).
To fix it, Kodi needs to be restarted (this will generally work but sometimes more than one restart is necessary).
Tried this on 3 different Windows setups as well as on 2 Android devices.. exact same behaviour.
You can see below what the problem looks like, one pic shows the widgets with the correct channels, and the other the same widgets but now the channels are duplicated from one of the other groups. Running on krypton 17.4 - titan 3.7.63 - skin.helper.widgets 1.0.35 (tried 1.0.36 as well)
