Still getting an error when trying to enter any country in Rytec after deleting add-on data folder with 0.0.50

No temp folder is being created either.

 What version of Kodi are you using?
The only thing I can think of is that the list of rytec channels is an https link. Kodi 16 couldn't deal with them.
The link is here. See if you can access it.
https://rytec.ricx.nl/epg_data/rytec.WoS.sources.xml

I've changed the link to just http in 0.0.51 just in case it helps.

Just tried 0.0.51 and still can't enter any counties on Rytec.

I have tried on Ubuntu and windows

I'm using v18 latest nightly from last night on Ubuntu.

 Does the link work in a browser and are there any errors in kodi.log?

[rich76]

Yes it works in a browser 

Here is the error from the logs on the windows 10 machine (debug logging isn't on though)

Those are ok.
But I did find that the code to make the temp directory had vanished.
It's back in 0.0.52. See if that helps.

[rich76]

Yes with 0.0.52 it re creates the temp folder again and then I can access the countries in Rytec and also add channels.

The channels show up under channels but after clicking update they don't show up in the xmltv or tv channels files.

I have deleted my add-on data folder and still same results

[primaeval]

 

The new links started giving me 403 Forbidden results.
Luckily the old links are back so I've changed them back to that in 0.0.53.
That's my last attempt for this evening as it is getting late.

[rich76]

Working perfectly now [emoji846]

Thanks for your help and hope you have a good rest of the night [emoji106]

I've been using the xmltv.xml file that xmltv meld generates as my epg data source for tv guide fullscreen.   However I've been having a few issues loading with epg info. lately and just wanted to ensure that it's an issue with my providers m3u file and not xmltv meld.  One thing I was curious about is that in the temp folder there is a guide.xml file, which I believe that is use to generate the xmltv.xml file.   The guide file is significantly larger in size than the xmltv.xml file.   Is this normal or should they be the same.  Thanks.

 There have been a lot of changes to the addon in the last week to try to get rytec working again.
The temp folder is where the full epgs from rytec etc are downloaded and uncompressed before being added to the final xmltv file.
You can delete the contents of the temp folder if it helps. A corrupt file in there might be blocking your updates.

@primaeval  you have made a bunch of nice plugins, and for the last few days ive been playing around with them. Some things are working fine, other things doesn't seem to work for me. However, especially with xmltv Meld i am getting quite some troubles.
Maybe it's because i don't get the idea but whenever i try to meld i always either get errors, or i don't get any channels linked for TV Guide Full screen.
Perhaps you can clear it up a bit for me, right now the IPTV provider i use have both an M3U link & a Kodi addon. I prefer to play most through simple IPTV client because i'm getting good results with proper audio passthrough and video switching.
Anyway, i tried to add either yo.tv or rytec as sources, to get primarly a dutch guide, but i don't manage to link the channels properly. I am not even sure what would be te recommended player from all of them at your repo. I can also add the XMLTV file from my provider, but this has different channel-id's as rytec or yo.tv... I figured i could meld them all with xmltv meld but no succes as of yet.
Also, right now i just used https://github.com/tvgrabbers/tvgrabpyAPI to generate a xmltv guide which works fine in full screen tv, but i can't use it in XMLTV meld at all for the time beeing i at least matched their id with my m3u manually but obviously on the first change of name/link the channel will break. I'm considering writing a python script just to match tvg-ID in m3u with anything from an xmltv source but then again it will defeat the purpose of this plugin. What am i overlooking? My iptv device is a nvidia shield, so no webgrab+ can run on it. I can run it on my pc and generate a bigger guide once in the x days if thats a solution though. Hope you can chime in on how to archieve this all. I prefer using both TVG full screen and native PVR with simple client. No recording is needed either.

 It might not be you. This addon is getting quite complicated and I've found a few bugs recently.

If your xmltv from tvgrabpyAPI  contains any non-standard xml it will fail to load in TV Guide Fullscreen.
That means things like an & which should be & and named entities like ß for ß
There is a fix for that in
TV Guide Fullscreen \ Settings \ Fix xmltv html entity errors

You can change the ids and channel names in the Channels section.

Matching m3u streams to channels is done by the channel name rather than tvg-id in guess_channel_stream_dialog.
If you want to add in matching by id you or I could add it in there.

You can post or pm me examples if that helps.
