[lasers]

I was able to work around the above issue by disabling the VOD service in settings.xml.

I'm also noticing every time I reboot, IPTV simple loses the EPG/channel information. It still is present in the sqlite database though...
I would have expected that it would fallback to cache if the slinger service fails. For whatever reason when IPTV-simple requests the m3u or xml file, it's blank.

Glad I'm not the only one. Mind sharing what you modified in the settings.xml to disable?

Thanks

It turns out this didn't work right. Oddly a users fork seems to be working just fine... https://github.com/snoopyjoe/plugin.video.sling
