Program not found
Hello,
When i press button "IPTV Recorder" in the Program info menu i get an error saying
IPTV Recorder program not found
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Using RPi3 LibreElec
Thank you!
The first thing to check is that IPTV Recorder and IPTV Simple Client have both loaded up the xmltv and m3u files, and they are the same. Make sure any timezone offsets are the same in both addons.
Then make sure you have the correct format for your xmltv and m3u files. There is an example in the tests folder. Expand the Examples in here and read the formatting instructions. https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:IPTV_Simple_Client
You can use those tests files to check if it is your xmltv/m3u files or something else.
Thank you for fast answer!
I currently having "IPTV Simple Client" in both xmltv and m3u. Everything with Simple Client is working fine. Should this work? Mayby I could try to set the xmltv and m3u links manually. I will try the test files also.
If it didn't work with the test files there is a bigger problem.
Did they load up in both addons and could you play the test channel in both addons and see the test program?
There is a setting for "Settings\Debug\extra menus" that brings up a "Maintenance\NUKE" command that will clear your settings and force a reload without having to restart Kodi and wait.
Loaded up the tests for both addons and now there is no error. Get the options Record once, daily and so on.....
So you can get to the Record options from Kodi \ TV \ Channels \ Guide \ Program Information \ IPTV Recorder ?
Then the problem is something missing from your xmltv / m3u combination. Usually it is something like a missing tvg-id attribute. Post a channel EXTINF line from your m3u that doesn't work and the corresponding channel from the top of your xmltv file.
It doesn't matter to the addon but I need to see what is missing. So you need to download them first or open them in a browser so you can paste the info here.
This is the "m3u with options", dont really know the difference.

The EPG-link gives me HTTP Error 401 so im not able to download that. The EPG in Guide works tho? Do you know any other way I can collect the info from?
If it loaded in IPTV Recorder there should be a copy of the xml as "userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\xmltv1.xml"
The m3u is "userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\channels1.m3u"
channels1.m3u

Can I remove settings.xml to reset settings? Seems to be using the test files even though "External xml/m3u" in Settings is set to "IPTV Simple Client"
Where is the log file located? Have reinstalled the plugin to have fresh settings.
You could rename or delete the folder to reset everything. userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder
As the xml didn't get updated and you got a 401 Unauthorized code earlier I expect you need something extra in the xml url, like a username and password.
It must be wrong if it won't download.
kodi.log might be at the top of userdata or in temp or cache.
Look in the IPTV Simple Client settings file to make sure you have got the correct epgUrl. "userdata\addon_data\pvr.iptvsimple\settings.xml"
EPG and Channels are working in the Simple Client. It is the same url's in "userdata\addon_data\pvr.iptvsimple\settings.xml" as in the "userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\settings.xml"
Might have found the problem... My url contains a "&" which have set my URL for both xml and m3u in the Simple Client's settings.xml to http://*******?username***** & amp; password........."
Trying without the "& amp;"
Did not work, still error when starting the plugin https://pastebin.com/dhMkHdGg
Your xml loaded up ok for me in Windows in both addons. Be careful what you paste on pastebin. It is public. So it looks like it is a pi problem. Your xml file is huge. I wouldn't be surprised if the pi is running out of memory. When python loads it it takes up a lot of memory. Try it on a Windows or another desktop computer with lots of memory and see what I mean.
Thank you for notifying me about the pastebin, have done a reset of my credentials.
Do you think a scheduled wget everyday of the file might work? So the file is local. And then point the recorder to that file?
I just think it's too big for python on the pi. Python uses a lot of memory to do the same things that a c addon does. See if there is a cutdown version of the xmltv file available. You could see if my "xmltv Meld" addon can reduce the size of it by selecting only the channels you need.
But first make sure there is not something else wrong by loading it up in Windows or another desktop/laptop operating system.
Now Im using a xmltv for only my country. No error at startup but still "IPTV Recorder program not found"
I guess its because the channel id is not the same?
xmltv1.xml
<channel id="svt1.svt.se"> <display-name lang="en">SVT1</display-name> <base-url>https://xmltv.xmltv.se/</base-url> <icon src="http://chanlogos.xmltv.se/svt1.svt.se.png"/> </channel>
m3u
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="SVT1.se" tvg-name="SVT1 SE" tvg-logo="https://cdn-static.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/picons/svt1.png" group-title="LIVE: Sweden",SVT1 SE
The id has to be the same exactly including case I think. It's probably easier for you to change the m3u rather than the xmltv. So make the m3u:
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="svt1.svt.se" tvg-name="SVT1 SE" tvg-logo="https://cdn-static.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/picons/svt1.png" group-title="LIVE: Sweden",SVT1 SE
I have the same issue 'Program not found', I think it's related that the recorder is crashing when initialising.
I get the following error in my logs:

there seems to be type error. I'm using 18.2 on WIN10, Simple PVR Client, and Catch-Up TV and More. My m3u is original from Catch-Up. They are hosted in the net. (local is the same)
