Kodi - TVheadend - pvr.hts with Greek language bug (and temporary solution)
#1
If you try to use TVHeadend with pvr.hts for live TV in Kodi (all platforms), you cannot switch the interface language in Kodi to Greek (i don't need to, but i like to).

Kodi and TVHeadend service only (no pvr.hts) have no problem with Greek, but once you install the pvr.hts addon, it crashes Kodi and forces a boot loop.
It works fine if the interface language is English.

It has been reported again here and here. It looks like the problem goes deeper than just pvr.hts but i haven't seen any progress.

The bug happens on all platforms (tested by me on amlogic and windows, and by others in linux) and occurs if the strings in the "TV - Timer rule - Type" list are translated to Greek.

The guilty strings are #820 - #823 in the "strings.po" file, inside "resource.language.el_gr" addon. (kodi 17.6).
After i found and corrected them, Kodi with tvheadend and pvr.hts work fine in Greek.

I attach a corrected "resource.language.el_gr" addon for everyone with this problem (Kodi - addons - install addon from zip file). It's a dirty patch but it's all i could do.

resource.language.el_gr-OK.zip
