Looks like your using a font in Kodi that doesn't support those characters. Nothing addon can do about that. You'll need change font in Kodi settings

I have a paid subscription to an iptv provider. Because they have too many channels that I don't need and Simple IPTV can not handle so many channels, I'm using m3u4u to only sync several channels. When pasting the new m3u4u url in Simple IPTV client, it doesn't find any channels. So I'm using this IPTV Merge add-on from MJH to be able to see the channels in Simple IPTV.
So far so good, but when watching a stream, the stream suddenly stops after 30 sec - 1 min. Sometimes it can last longer until max 5 minutes.
So I thought:
- it could be because the provider is kicking me out but that's not possible neither since I'm using the m3u4u-url on my ios-device using another iptv client and that same channel works flawlessly
- maybe there's something wrong with the settings? I did a clean install of Kodi and immediately tried the iptv
- maybe I need to local host it, but that can't be the reason since it only occurs to a few channels; not all channels...
Or is there something wrong with the setting of this addon?

Try going into IPTV merge settings > playback and disable the use proxy setting and then run merge again and then test

What’s the purpose for “Use IPTV Merge Proxy for HTTP Streams” - what will enabling or disabling actually do? What’s the purpose of this proxy?

It allows some extra features. Eg. Selecting the quality of the stream / forcing a quality. Also allows using inputstream adaptive for playback which can work better (or worse) than ffmpeg. And allows all the other slyguy stuff that isn't really documented (dns rewrites etc).
After adjusting the setting, you need to run merge to generate a new playlist that uses the new setting.

Morning all,
Was wondering, does this addon fully supports EPG files zipped up in .gz format?
I have two epg's both zipped up and both not working (either) correctly or at all.
One of them showing empty list, other one working but has some channels missing. So at the moment, I'm using iptv merge only for playlists and epg link has been set up directly with IPTV Simple Client
Thanks

yes, gz is fine
If the lists are not using matching id's for the EPG > Playlist mapping, try disable the "Remove EPG Orphans" setting in IPTV Merge
