In my experience, there isn't a place to "browse" channels in PVR IPTV Simple Client? How are you adding them to your groups?

I just long hold OK on any channel and bottom option from context menu is from AutoWidget which adds that channel shortcut to AutoWidget. And then I just make channel shortcuts by creating submenus onto Home item(s).

But I can't figure out why are channels not opening with AutoWidget while they open just fine through PVR Add-on.

It's like an program opens when you launch it from installation directory but it won't open from shortcut on Desktop, that's what's happening right now to me with AutoWidget. I am currently configuring Kodi 18.6 with latest AutoWidget and latest Arctic Zephyr 2. If I still experience same bug I will downgrade AutoWidget to oldest version and update one by one to see is this related to Kodi, AutoWidget or maybe even Arctic Zephyr 2.

AutoWidget worked fine during Winter 2020 so I guess that if this is related to Kodi then 18.6 should work.

I'm guessing this is an oversight on my handling of PVR items, to be honest. I can try to get it working again, but I don't have an IPTV sub even to test with... If you're able to share the corresponding .group file, that may help me figure out what's going wrong.
