Not completely clear from your first post how Beta - TV Guide is an improvement over previous TV Guide with regard to being (.ini free)?

i.e. With Beta I find it difficult to understand how to permanently switch add-on being used for a given guide channel from Filmon to iplayer www add-on for an example

Could you elaborate a little more on how users can make use of an available guide layout, change addon used for given channel(s) and hide guide channels of no interest/availability etc.
(Then saving changes where and into what file(s) etc?)

Would it be possible to automatically make use of local Live DVB-T channels and mix with Live Internet channel streams provided from add-ons within your TV Guide? (Fully integrated simple method?)

For a while I have been trying to mix Internet Live TV Streams with local Live TV channels and am finding it very challenging to set-up and then maintain simply/easily in either TV Guide addon (and it's branched derivatives) or via Kodi Live TV option using multiple PVR's (i.e. PVR Filmon with Tvheadend: Which is apparently not supported ref GIT even though I have this almost working perfectly if it wasn't for occasional LibreELEC Krypton nightly re-boots)

Just some of my usage thoughts, Thanks

Also because I currently choose iplayer www stream quality level every time before playback current TV Guide Full-screen doesn't allow to select stream quality level.
(will set iplayer www to always provide specific quality level and try again, hmm where is my itv addon)

---edit---Actually how do I actually go to installed video add-ons to choose a stream from an add-on? (confused with the find stream options, which don't seem to lead me where i want/need to go)

Sorry don't see categories option in first context menu of TV guide Fullscreen or its settings?

Will play more with beta tomorrow

The guide stand-alone is ok, but the full package is not.

Within the TV Guides Source settings, I modified settings to ensure use of custom (my) .xml file (rather than any pre-provided option, coming from FTV Guide)

I noted that the last sources option was set to use an addons ini which was set to FTV Guide and could be switched to a Custom .ini

If i try to use custom without setting up any underlying .ini then the addon is continually searching for something when I try to start it, if I switch to FTV Guide then addon appears to work correctly showing my custom xml guide.

Now regarding a channel and selecting an addons stream, with the far right browse option it doesn't matter what i do, I am unable to see any video addons other than FilmOn.TV (linked to FTV Guide.ini)

Feel I am going around in circles with regard to assertion within header of thread that new beta TV Guide can browse addons and is .ini free?
Do I have to create a custom .ini for the guide to know what addons are installed on my system and can searched?

Hope my testing comments make some sense

i.e.

Anyway downloaded latest master version of add-on from https://github.com/primaeval/script.tvguide.fullscreen installed addon directly and yes I can now see my installed video add-ons and can select streams from different video addons to be used against a defined channel in the TV Guide Fullscreen
