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

I was able to figure this out. The error happens with the Amazing Mysteries show because the JSON blob is using a key that the show.py script isn't expecting within 'thumbnail'.

Here is an Amazing Mysteries episode that is being parsed: 

Here is a normal JSON blob of a different show/episode: 


The show.py script expects that the thumbnail section contain the key 'href'. In the broken episode it's 'url'.
I fixed mine by editing the show.py script directly like so:


I could open a bug report or create a PR but I'm sure there is a better way to fix this...

Do you think you could post your entire show.py to pastebin or something similar? I have a feeling the numbers on the rows are messing up my copy/paste, as I get a sling error when I start up kodi w/ the changes to the file.
