[Doctor Eggs]

I got it to work, but not everything is working in the add-on itself. I'm importing the channels/guide using IPTVMerge and using IPTV Simple to watch TV through Kodi so my desire was to just get it working in that respect.

I've updated the lib/menus/channels.py to use a different URL to get the channels and then changed the way it loops through them. Also, updated the lib/classes/channel.py so that it doesn't error out on the images.

Here is what I did to get it working.
Copy and paste the below to replace everything in the def getChannels():

Code:

def getChannels(self):
    success, region = self.auth.getRegionInfo()
    if not success:
        notificationDialog(LANGUAGE(30016))
        return

    USER_DMA = region['USER_DMA']
    USER_OFFSET = region['USER_OFFSET']
    subs = binascii.b2a_base64(str.encode(LEGACY_SUBS.replace('+', ','))).decode().strip()
    channels_url = '%s/cms/publish3/domain/channels/v4/%s/%s/%s/1.json' % \
                   (self.endPoints['cms_url'], USER_OFFSET, USER_DMA, subs)
    channels_url = self.endPoints['channels_url']
    log('\r%s' % channels_url)
    response = requests.get(channels_url, headers=HEADERS, verify=VERIFY)
    if response is not None and response.status_code == 200:
        response = response.json()
        if 'channels' in response:
            channel_names = ''
            for channel in response['channels']:
                if channel['network_affiliate_name'] is not None:
                    if 'Sling' not in channel['network_affiliate_name']:
                        if channel['channel_guid'] != '' and '"%s"' % channel['network_affiliate_name'] not in channel_names:
                            if channel['network_affiliate_name'] not in ('FOX', 'ABC', 'NBC', 'CBS'):
                                channel_names = '%s,"%s"' % (channel_names, channel['network_affiliate_name']) if channel_names != '' else '"%s"' %channel['network_affiliate_name']
                            temp_channel = Channel(channel['channel_guid'], self.endPoints, self.DB)
                            if temp_channel.GUID != '':
                                self.Channels[channel['channel_guid']] = temp_channel
            
            query = "SELECT GUID FROM Channels WHERE Protected = 1"
            try:
                cursor = self.DB.cursor()
                cursor.execute(query)
                protected = cursor.fetchall()
                for record in protected:
                    if record[0] not in self.Channels:
                        self.Channels[record[0]] = Channel(record[0], self.endPoints, self.DB)
            except sqlite3.Error as err:
                log('setSetting(): Failed retrieve protected records from DB, error => %s' % err)
            except Exception as exc:
                log('setSetting(): Failed retrieve protected records from DB, exception => %s' % exc)

And then in lib/classes/channel.py replace def processJSON() with the following:

Code:

    def processJSON(self, channel_json):
        log('Processing channel json')

        self.Name = channel_json['network_affiliate_name'] if 'network_affiliate_name' in channel_json else ''
        self.Call_Sign = channel_json['title'] if 'title' in channel_json else ''
        self.ID = int(channel_json['id']) if 'id' in channel_json else -1
        self.GUID = channel_json['channel_guid'] if 'channel_guid' in channel_json else ''
        if len(self.GUID) == 0:
            self.GUID = channel_json['guid'] if 'guid' in channel_json else ''
        if 'thumbnail' in channel_json:
            self.Thumbnail = channel_json['thumbnail']['url'] if 'url' in channel_json['thumbnail'] else ICON
        self.Qvt_Url = channel_json['qvt_url'] if 'qvt_url' in channel_json else ''
        if len(self.Qvt_Url) == 0:
            self.Qvt_Url = channel_json['qvt'] if 'qvt' in channel_json else ''
        self.Offered = bool(channel_json['offered']) if 'offered' in channel_json else True
        self.Call_Sign = channel_json['call_sign'] if 'call_sign' in channel_json else ''

        if 'metadata' in channel_json:
            metadata = channel_json['metadata']
            self.Name = metadata['channel_name'] if 'channel_name' in metadata else self.Name
            self.Call_Sign = metadata['call_sign'] if 'call_sign' in metadata else self.Call_Sign
            if 'genre' in metadata:
                genres = ''
                for genre in metadata['genre']:
                    genres = '%s, %s' % (genres, genre) if len(genres) > 0 else genre
                self.Genre = genres
            self.Poster = metadata['default_schedule_image'] if 'default_schedule_image' in metadata else self.Poster
            self.Language = metadata['language'] if 'language' in metadata else ''
        if self.Poster == FANART and 'default_schedule_image' in channel_json:
            self.Poster = channel_json['default_schedule_image'] if channel_json['default_schedule_image'] is not None else self.Poster
        if len(self.Language) == 0:
            self.Language = channel_json['language'] if 'language' in channel_json else ''

        self.Name = self.Name.strip()
        self.Genre = self.Genre.strip()
        self.Language = self.Language.strip()
        self.On_Demand = self.onDemand()

        self.saveChannel()

        return

I have both Sling Blue and Orange and I'm not sure if this will pull in a lot more channels than you are subscribed to but let me know and I'll see what I can do.
