hi thanks for your reply my m3u list is paid for it has 500 channels but some are doubled up due to 1 link might not work so you have a spare liink , is there a way to input search option for a channel instead of going though every provider , on xmltv Meld i get a error when trying to open up uk on koditvepg ,what is the custom option for on xmltv Meld  thanks for your advice

 I'm having a hard time reading your posts.
Please at least use full stops or put each sentence on a new line like I do.
It makes it much easier to read.

You can search in each provider by the Kodi Search dialog on the left.
I'm not going to add a global search as it will download too much data.

Custom is for you to add your own xmltv files or urls and merge them into the output xmltv.xml file.

What error are you getting for koditvepg?
Post the error messages about program.plugin.xmltv.meld from kodi.log.

 It was failing on RTÉ.
Try version 0.0.4.
It did work on Leia though without the fix.

 You should just be able to Update xmltv Meld to 0.0.4.
If it doesn't work even on a Kodi reboot then uninstall the main repo and reinstall it.
The main repo should stay on 0.0.2 for the foreseeable future.

 You need to select the channels individually by left clicking on them.
Remove them by right clicking and Remove Channel.

If you want all the channels you might as well grab the whole file from the source provider rather than use xmltv Meld.

 I usually do a container refresh in my addons when something changes but it takes a while and gets really annoying when you need to add a lot of channels at once.
So this time you will only see what is selected if you back out of the provider and go back in.

What is yellow when you come out of the addon and go back in?
You should have the UK provider yellow and some channels below that yellow.

I assume your busybox is working and you have pointed to it in Settings.

You can test you have the right version by using a cmd prompt and running it.
It should output some information or tell you it can't run.

If those things work then press Update.
Wait for a start and finished notification and look in the addon_data.

You can look in the .storage folder and open the channels and xmltv files in a text editor.
They are python pickle files but you should at least be able to read if the xmltv url and channels have been selected.

You can try Reset to start again.

 Something strange must be going on then.
Press "Reset".
Go into "Rytec".
Right click "add xmltv" to "UK/Ireland Freesat"
Go into "UK/Ireland Freesat"
Click on "BBC 1 HD"
Press "Update"
Post a link to your xmltv.xml and channels.m3u8 files.
