You can try the alternative streaming methods or turn off the osd.

You can try the alternative streaming methods or turn off the osd.
The alternative streaming methods are
Settings \ Playback \ use alternative streaming method
and when you add folders in
Stream Setup \ Browse
In Addons you can toggle the setting on/off for each channel.
If you're still stuck pm me an example url.

xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.RunPlugin(%s)' % url)
rather than with player.play().
There must be better checks on the url type with runplugin.
What Kodi version are you using?
RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - doktourtv - 2018-12-12
Kodi 18 Beta 2 Dated Dec 3 2018

The latest nightly worked ok for me on windows with a fairly normal m3u stream.
The internal xbmc player might need some extra info in the code to say it is a video url.
Many addons have broken since they introduced that.

It is just very simple information that comes from a single scrape of their epg.
The image grabbing logic in Lab1 has been broken for some time as the providers went paid.
If you want images I'm afraid you need to use webgrab at the moment.

Hi Primaeval. Is there a way to use your tv guide with tvheadend?
Thanks

Either use
"Menu \ Stream Setup \ Import PVR"
to add the channels to the "TV Guide Fullscreen" addon
or
"Menu \ Stream Setup \ Import Playlist"
with the downloaded m3u8 playlist from tvheadend.
You can get it from
http://TVHEADENDSERVER:9981/playlist/channels
in a browser.
https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/3997?r=6040
"Import PVR" will not import the raw urls. It will launch the kodi PVR channels. The streams aren't truly integrated into TVGF.
If you can get tvheadend to not ask for a user/password you should be able to load the direct m3u8 in
Settings \ Optional \ Channel Mapping \Import m3u
if your xmltv matches your channels exactly.
I have no idea if you can export the xmltv from tvheadend but I expect you can somehow.
RE: TV Guide Fullscreen - possibly the most powerful TV Guide in the world. ;) - MikeKL - 2018-12-15
@bizzs
Inputting following commands into any pc browser where your Tvheadend server resides on your network will provide the raw data of information that could be extracted/manipulated for use with TV Guide Fullscreen
http://ip:9981/playlist (for m3u of channels)
http://ip:9981/xmltv (for xmltv guide)
I have in past manually included a small number of TV channels from above channel playlist into my TV Guide Fullscreen (I used a different TV Guide provided via WebGrab+Plus) so know it will work.
Not personally aware of direct method of seamlessly introducing both sets of above information from url links into TV Guide Fullscreen settings or similar?
@primaeval What would be best ways to do what I believe bizzs is requesting, following are examples of data provided from my networked tvheadend server
Tvheadend Channels example
Tvheadend EPG example
