I'm having an issue with IPTV Simple being disabled and staying that way when Kodi starts up.
Here is my set-up
192.168.1.1:
* Main EPG/M3U source for IPTV Simple
* Enable EPG into IPTV = true
192.168.1.2:
* IPTV Simple uses 192.168.1.1:9999/channels.m3u and guide.xml
* Slinger Service = true
* Enable EPG into IPTV = false
192.168.1.3:
* IPTV Simple uses 192.168.1.1:9999/channels.m3u and guide.xml
* Slinger Service = true
* Enable EPG into IPTV = false
192.168.1.1 has IPTV Simple enabled after a short period of time, but .2 and .3 do not. I can enable them and everything works fine but it's an extra step that I need to take when I restart Kodi. Ultimately it seems like if Enable EPG into IPTV = false, then IPTV Simple should not be disabled on start up.
Or am I missing the point in having channels.m3u and guide.xml dynamically generated? I tried disabling the Slinger Service on .2 and .3 but that caused a huge amount of time in the loading of menu items in Kodi as it had to populate the DB first before displaying anything.
Is there a way to centralize the Slinger service? Having three (and then potentially more) instance of Kodi running, I would prefer 192.168.1.1 to be the only one getting the data which then feeds the other instances instead of all three having to go out and get the data on regular intervals. Maybe a setting for "Slinger source" where you can specify an IP address and then the add-on would use 192.168.1.1:9999/channels.json to return a json string of channels.
