It looks like this is an osx problem with getting the correct locale.

You'll have to do a bit of remote debugging for me.

Add a
log(language)
at line 44 in
"addons\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\contextEPG.py"
so it looks like this

fullFormat = get_format()

language = xbmc.getLanguage()

log(language)

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, language)

Tell me what that is and what it should be.

Then try something like setting the language to whatever yours should be like

fullFormat = get_format()

language = xbmc.getLanguage()

language = "en_US.UTF-8"

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, language)

If that works I'm not sure what a good generic solution is.   

I have added the log. Not sure if I look at the correct loge entry but I assume that I need to use 'utf-8' as languange. I will give a try

2019-04-20 10:00:35.214 T:123145496465408   ERROR: {'confidence': 0.99, 'language': '', 'encoding': 'utf-8'}   

That message is from the function that reads in the m3u playlist.

To make the new message stand out a bit change it to something like:

log(("LANGUAGE>>>", language))

 

this is the message I get: 

2019-04-20 10:34:03.717 T:123145322323968   ERROR: ('LANGUAGE>>>', 'English')

I changed to: 

fullFormat = get_format()
language = xbmc.getLanguage()
language = "English"
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, language)

But still if I want to record a channel "Schedule IPTV Recorder" in PVR ITPV Simple Client > Guide it gives me the error "ITPV Recorder error"
