It seems a list is provided where a string is expected. This we should check and handle in IPTV Manager, but the cause is likely to be an error in the data structure.

It can be a string in case you want to pass raw xmltv, or a dict in case it's json-epg, but not a list.

See https://github.com/add-ons/service.iptv.manager/blob/513e25d8ce564299628d5f84661c28a472b2709c/resources/lib/modules/iptvsimple.py#L178

In addon.py, "epg" is set as list. change with "epg_list" will make it work.
