Lunatixz  can explain the steps to you but basically you add it to IPTV simple client.

To clarify when I hit locast a menu comes up where I pick live tv, live favorites, or channels list (something like that) no guide loads I them pick live tv and another menu with no graphic just a list of what’s playing in what number chamber

You have two choices of guides, Both are provided by Kodi's IPTV Simple PVR Backend...
1). IPTV Manager, open and select to configure IPTV simple
2). PseudoTV Live, when prompted select to add "Locast" to your "Recommend Channels", open PseudoTV Lives settings and select "Locast" from the "Recommended Services" dropdown.

Hello, I installed the locast addon for kodi. (I'm using a raspberry pi with osmc). I installed the version in the main repository (plugin.video.locast-1.0.5) but It doesnt work to me. I have this error:

[Lunatixz]

Locasts latest v.1.1.2 ... and only supports Matrix, Older builds for Leia and older are no longer supported. Download my beta repo for the latest up or wait for Kodi repository update.

Hi, thank you for the answer!! :-) how can I add your beta repository in kodi?? I downloaded this zip in the raspberry https://github.com/Lunatixz/KODI_Addons/...-1.1.2.zip but I couldnt to install the plugin

Hi,  I have a geo location issue/question.

I am using KODI Matrix, Mint 20, Locast 1.1.2a

I am Located In New Hampshire which is part of the Boston Market.
My ISP (T-Mobile Home Internet) connects to the internet in Providence RI which is outside of the Locast Boston area.

I can use locast ok with a browser on the same computer and other devices on my network but I needed to contact Locast to have them correct it at their end.  I suspect they whitelisted my IP on their end.
IP-API.com reports Providence and your Kodi Locast Setting screen also correctly reports Providence.

Is there a way to use my IP to try to validate my location with Locast? 

btw This is not an attempt to get service outside the area I really am in the Boston Market.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

I was able to find a work around using my actual lon, lat in the locast libary.

Great plugin

[RobbieWilkes]

Was just wondering if there's a way to change the colors of the uEPG Guide?  Can't find any settings for it, in Locast, or the settings for uEPG.

Have to second this.  Love the Locast addon, the guide, not so much.  Difficult to to tell at a glance what channel you are on by the colours

Hey Lunatixz, I know you are no longer working on the Leia version, but I'm not currently able to move to Matrix, and rebuild, on all my HTPCs.  However, I am playing around with the 1.0.8b version of Locast, as I test out the service, and it works great for my purposes.

Was wondering if you could offer some advice on how to change the colors for the guide, specifically the background.  I have searched through the code / settings for Locast and uEPG, and I'm just completely missing it.  Honestly, I'd love it to just use the standard KODI guide colors, if that's an option, but, if not, if I could just go with a darker (dark blue or black) background, then that would be great.

Here's what my screen looks like, in case, for some reason, I'm not seeing things the way as they should be.

Thanks for all you do for the Kodi community!

[rocko]

Lunatixz,

Any chance you could add the ability to rename and reorder channels along with Favorites?

Thanks
