Do you have any recommendations to where to host the .xml file? Linking to Dropbox/Gdrive doesn't work and my current webhost is Garbage. Because of this I am rather halted with progression as loading times are too slow.

Code:

total = int(requests.head(self.fileUrl,auth=(user, password)).headers['Content-Length'])

in filefectcher.py to send

Code:

Accept-Encoding: *

instead of the normal

Code:

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

Is it possible you can incorporate this? Also maybe putting in support for redirection as I would like to use a static snipli.com link that points to a xmltv url

First the images still seem to default to TVdb or IMDB as there are more images that are posters/generic screen shots (like the title of the show ect) and not very many actual episode images. There were many more episode images when the option to just use OMDb existed.

Second, I notice that the images do not change when the same show is on back to back. So if there is an episode on at 5 pm an image will load and if there is another episode on at 5:30 of the same show the image will not change. If there is a different show on after the 5 pm show the image will change.

Lastly, and this is most likely nothing that you can control but the images do load slowly...once loaded the images show up quickly when you move channel to channel but if there is no image than I am waiting 5 - 30 secs for the image to load.

Thanks for update.

AMAZING addon by the way.

Just one question

I am setting up multiple streams and have set them up nicely.

When the dialogue box comes up with the list af streams and I click Cancel. Is it possible to just go back to the EPG and not play the stream anyway??

Regards

Go to menu, choose add alternative stream, choose stream but it replaces the stream I already had allocated to the channel?

How is alternative stream supposed to work and how do I allocate a main and an alternative stream to A channel

There might be a bug somewhere in there. I occasionally think something is wrong but I can't see why.
I'll look deeper when I see it again.

This is how it should work:

Set up your main channel first like you normally do:
either: Add Folder to add addon streams to the addons.ini file
or: Stream Setup, select a channel and press Save

If there is an exact match with a Favourite it should choose that when you try to play the channel.
If not it should show you all the partial matches for your channel (depending on how you set up Channel Matching in Appearance).

Then Select an Alternative Stream in a similar way.

Use Add Alt Stream to get the Choose Stream dialog to come up.

Or go into Stream Setup, select a Favourite or Addon channel and press Alt Stream to add it directly.

When you play a channel if it finds a main channel and alternative channels it should show the select dialog.

To remove them use the Clear Alt Stream button in Stream Setup.

Almost there. Don't Save. Press Alt Stream.

Save saves as the primary stream.
Alt Stream adds it as an alternative stream.

Save saves as the primary stream.
Alt Stream adds it as an alternative stream.

After highlighting the stream I want to allocate as the Alt Stream, I don't have an option to press Alt Stream.

The options I have at the bottom of the stream are Preview, Save, Cancel and Add Folder.
