Version 0.0.18
I've automated it to check 'koditvepg.com' then 'koditvepg2.com' if it fails.
I think this is easier.
If it changes again please let me know.

I must be doing something wrong. I'm updated to .18 but I still get just two dots when I click on any country. I tried adding a custom url under Custom-->New and named it koditvepg.com. It is highlighted in yellow but doesn't do anything when I click on it. I used "http:// koditvepg2.com" (without the space). I tried with and without a / at the end. What am I doing wrong? I did close Kodi and reboot. Made no difference.

In 0.0.18 you shouldn't need to do anything other than what you were doing in 0.0.16.
Just subscribe to a country in the koditvepg.com menu and select some channels.
It should automatically find the koditvepg2.com domain if koditvepg.com fails.
If it fails try pressing Reset to clear out the channels and start again.
If that fails try deleting everything in the folder "userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.xmltv.meld".
Maybe some of the views got cached with the old data.
The code uses xbmcswift2 which tries to be clever and use a timed cache of listings to save time. Sometimes it doesn't refresh itself properly.

Thanks for the reply. I don't wany to reset if I don't have too. I have a lot of channels listed from zap and Rytech, too and it would take me days to find all of them again. I'll delete the "Custom" url and try some of the other things you mentioned. If that doesn't work, I'll probably just wait for the new server at the original url.

Well, I'm not having any luck. I backed up the xmltv meld folder and then deleted it. I tried a full reset and still got only .. in each country. I also lost all my other channels. Then I had to find busybox and point to it in settings again and re-enter my zip code, etc. I re-opened xmltv meld and still got only two dots, so I restored my backup file and got all my other channels from zap and rytech back. (Thank God!) Still can't get channels to show for koditvepg.com Manually updated and reloaded the TV Guide Fullscreen, but still no data for those channels. Double checked and koditvepg.com is still redirecting to koditvepg2.com. I also exited Kodi and re-booted my Android box. I even tried a fresh install on a 2nd Android box with same result. I'm not sure what to do next.

Having some troubles getting xmltv meld to work. Gone through all your steps. Installed busybox for windows and tested in command prompt. Seems to work ok. Added a few test channels within the program easy enough, and then updated. Checked the m3u and xmltv files in userdata, but they contain no info. Checked the storage folder as well, and found my selected channels in the channels file, but not in the xmltv file. Not sure where I'm going wrong. Have tried resetting as well a couple of times. Attached is my kodi log. xmltv meld info is at the bottom. Thanks.

That was it. Must have missed that within the instructions. Works great now. Cheers.
