Hi All,

Wanted to provide an update. I have been working on this plugin pretty hard the last few days and completely re-wrote the code to add stability and new features!

New Features:

1. Supports loading Season & Episode from XMLTV (has some strict assumptions, based on what EPG123 provides, can expand to other sources w/ examples provided).
   
2. Added Timer Rules!! (BIG UPDATE & Will require much more testing!!).
   
   1. Now you can record entire shows with a simple click!
      
3. Added support for text style genre from XMLTV no more categories required.
   
4. Fixed previously reported issue w Padding (start & stop), now this info is preserved.
   
5. Added client & server mode, these new features will be a little bit taxing on low end CPUs, so added a setting to stick to just a DVR extender (can manage timers & recordings, but will offload FFMPEG to server ideally a HTPC)
   
   1. Will Demo this on another video soon.
      
6. Added option to filter channels on only those with EPG (I like this personally but defaulted it to off).
   
7. Added periodical reload of M3U & XMLTV (based on schedule in settings e.g. daily/weekly/on startup).
   
8. Fixed video duration, I now pipe FFMPEG stderr to a log for debug and to get accurate video duration!
   
9. Added channel numbers from M3U playlist if available (via tvg-chno="#")
   
10. Probably more, it was really a complete rewrite. 
    

Here is a quick demo:
PVRIptv Simple Client w HD Recording Demo

So far I have build this new version on windows. This will not be backwards compatible to any of the previous iterations...

I think Linux should be straight copy paste rebuild. Still setting up my RPI for LibreElec(I'm a newbie at this  ).

Anyways thanks to those still interested, hope to keep this going.

PS: still need Windows & Linux testers.. Haven't heard back from @bsoriano, hope he can test new version if previous one worked.
