RE: Simple Client not working on Kodi 20.1 - cyr06 - 2023-04-01

I managed to make it works using
Code:
mv /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.iptvsimple/settings.xml /storage/.kodi/use rdata/addon_data/pvr.iptvsimple/instance-settings-1.xml

This is on a fresh install of libreeelc 11.0.0 that comes with nexus with catchup TV plugin

I followed this post :

And yes, I deleted settings.xml before all of this.

Can you send me a copy of the settings.xml so I can test it here?
Check PM.

Can you try setting the following 3 fields in settings.xml file, then delete the instance-setting-*.xml files?

Code:

 <setting id="m3uPathType" default="true">1</setting>
 <setting id="m3uPath" default="true" />
 <setting id="m3uUrl"><insert-your-url-here.m3u></setting>

Once done restart and we can see what instance-settings-1.xml file is created.

A few more clues would be that the iOS version works fine on my iPad, it's only the TVOS version that doesn't work.   I reverted back to 20.7.0 of your add-on and it works fine with my Apple TV (Kodi 20.1).   So it must be something to do with the migration to multiple instances (which I'm not using).

If it's an AppleTV you have to add the new version of iptvsimple to org.xbmc.kodi-tvos_20.1-0-tvos/Applications/Kodi.app/AppData/AppHome/addons and re-sign the Kodi.app and reinstall. You can also add inputstream.ffmpeg.direct to the same folder as it isn't distributed with the TVOS build.  You can get it here:  

https://jenkins.kodi.tv/view/Nexus%20Binary%20Add-ons/job/xbmc/job/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/job/Nexus/lastStableBuild/artifact/cmake/addons/build/zips/inputstream.ffmpegdirect+tvos-aarch64/inputstream.ffmpegdirect-20.5.0.zip

I'm not 100% sure you have to re-sign, but I always do anyway.

How are you signing and installing the Kodi.app?   I'm using a MacBook and you can right-click on Kodi.app and select "Show Package Contents".  You can't do it from within Kodi.  Changing the binary add-ins require a new install.  I'm using Xcode and enabling the Top Shelf and signing with iOS App Signer (developer account).

i m downloading the kodi deb file from kodi.tv signing it with ios app signer as you mentioned with developer account and with xcode i install it to the apple tv. i dont know what you mean with enabling the top shelf.

I use this method:  https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_on_Apple_TV_4_and_5_(HD_and_4K)#(option_B)_PAID_Apple_dev_account_with_Top_Shelf

It requires you to unzip the .deb and the data.tar.xz and you can then modify Kodi.app (Show Package Contents).  The TopShelf allows Kodi to populate the top section of the Apple TV interface with items from the Kodi library similar to some other apps.


RE: Simple Client not working on Kodi 20.1 - Calvi - 2023-04-03

Just a note that my windows install reverted to working.
I suspect it was caused by the Kayo addin setting something incorrectly which was fixed in a subsequent update.

I only have a free developer account!

So no TopShelf then.  Maybe you can still modify items on the addons directory but I don't know for sure.  I'm pretty sure that iptvsimple is still broken on AppleTV so it may not be worth trying unless you just want to tinker...
