just going off the add-on source, you could try
IPTV Merge > Playlist > Add > URL > http://127.0.0.1:9999/channels.m3u
IPTV Merge > EPG > Add > URL > http://127.0.0.1:9999/guide.xml
then turn off "Enable EPG into IPTV" in Sling settings.
Or, could try adding a new .iptv_merge file in the sling add-on dir with the following contents instead of above
That should allow you to use the nicer Add > Add-on method.Code:{
"version": 3,
"playlist": "http://127.0.0.1:9999/channels.m3u",
"epg": "http://127.0.0.1:9999/guide.xml"
}
Note: Untested as I don't have a sling login
I am using both the Tvheadend HTSP Client and the Sling add-on within Kodi. The problem that I have noticed when running both at the same time is that the Sling channels are always disappearing and I would keep having to update the PVR IPTV Simple Client to get them back so I decided to give IPTV Merge a try and it installed successfully. I created the .iptv_merge file in the sling add-on directory and did Add > Add-on method and that added a URL to the playlist and EPG. I also setup the IPTV Simple Client and then did a 'Run Merge' and after it finished I didn't see any guide data so I checked the EPG section and the URL to guide.xml was in red and the error message is 'not well-formed (invalid token): line 41779, column 30'. Do you have any idea's of what could be wrong? It would be great if I could get this add-on working and it fixes the problem of the Sling channels always disappearing.
