There was a fix for android pushed yesterday.
You may need to force update

Hi Matt,
addon is just not working anymore..
https://paste.kodi.tv/fatevoxiyi.kodi
any ideas? Thanks
RE: IPTV Merge - matthuisman - 2020-05-07
something is wrong with your kodi.
shouldn't be getting cert errors if your date etc is correct.
try a fresh install. make sure date correct.
And need full logs. That doesn't tell me what version kodi you have, whats it running on etc
RE: IPTV Merge - matthuisman - 2020-05-11
just added a new "TESTING" version of IPTV Merge to SlyGuy repo.
This is the new DB backed re-write.
Should handle 1000s of channels and epg data not a problem.
Also stores all the data in a DB, so if a source fails, it'll use the last good values still in the output.
Also options like settings starting channel number for each source, setting a new group name etc etc.
Give it a shot
RE: IPTV Merge - Zewkin - 2020-05-14
Testing version not sort all channels alphabetically, what is not really needed. Is there any way I can disable that?
RE: IPTV Merge - matthuisman - 2020-05-14
You want it sorted alphabetically - or not sorted alphabetically?
RE: IPTV Merge - Zewkin - 2020-05-14
..and it does not work anymore, the log
RE: IPTV Merge - Zewkin - 2020-05-14
I want channels to be sorted like they are sorted in source playlists - my 1st playlist is Polish, 2nd is American, 3rd is Ukrainian and so one, it's not really useful to have 5 versions of NatGeo of 5 discovery with the same names grouped together.
RE: IPTV Merge - matthuisman - 2020-05-14
If the playlists don't have channel numbers - then by default merge starts channel numbers from 1 for each playlist
What you can do is go into your 2nd playlist source (click on it) and change the Starting Channel Number to a number after the 1st playlist.
Polish Playlist starts at 1 & American Playlists starts at 200
I'll add a feature where setting Starting Channel to 0 (could be default) means start channel numbers from after the previous playlist
However, this means the order of the playlists is relevant and also if the first playlist gets a new channel, all your channel numbers in 2nd playlist would be +1.
It comes down to how people think a merge should work.
An append would put the 2nd list under the 1st.
Or you splice them together.
I think most may think the 1st behaviour so a default of 0 to append them after each other seems the way to go
You can also make it ignore channel numbers in the playlist, ignore groups, set default group name etc
UPDATE:
Just pushed 0.0.7 of "IPTV Merge Testing"
Fix the error you had with slug conflicts
Merging is even faster - 20,000 channel playlist down from 10s to about 5-6s
A playlist with Starting Channel Number of 0 will now start its channel numbers from the previous playlists last channel number
0 is the new default for this setting, but you may need to change yours to 0 as default only sets on initial creation of the playlist

Although i can select a smb share as a source for playlist and epg, it throws an error at the merge process:

Thanks for your addon!
RE: IPTV Merge - matthuisman - 2020-07-05

RE: IPTV Merge - enerdude - 2020-07-10
Any issues between iptv merge and the dstv now addon? It does not seem to merge the EPG properly at the moment.
Edit:
What I've tried so far:
- Uninstall dstv now, iptv merge and pvr simple client including all settings for all 3 and freshly install them.
- When I look at the repo it seems changes was pushed on yesterday 9 july to both dstv and iptv merge with a description in both of "kiosk mode" whatever that means
- When opening iptv merge --> EPG and selecting dstv now it shows "150 channels / 0 programmes" so I assume it is not scraping the programme info properly?
edit2:
It now has started working, not sure why
RE: IPTV Merge - matthuisman - 2020-07-10
I suspect the Dstv EPG data was down for a bit
