As far as I know, said "Test Channel" is locked to "Said ISP" so others can't access it.

 

 

 

I cannot access it and i'm with an outsider ISP

OK thanks for the feedback, that was also one of the reasons for testing.

 

Yes it may be locked to Vodafone only..

HD test and HD test 2 not working for me on bigpipe - but test 3 is working ok.

Also found that changing the simple iptv client on Kodi to use matt's aussie TV epg gives me the aussie TV schedule.
I had previously set it to the NZ schedule and it looks like maybe it still has that cached as well because that info is appearing. I guess that will stop when the cache expires and I will just have the AU schedule.

Duke fixed, changed from playlist.m3u8 to master.m3u8

 



Duke still doesn't work for me, using apsattv.m3u on BigPipe, and I don't see the new TEST channels.  Am I using the right M3U file?

My aus schedule I had configured has now force loaded since the cached playlist refreshed also :) And my Duke is fine (2Deg) HDs not of course.

 

 

 

And timbosan - kiwitv2.m3u

You should be using as below and it should auto update, thought you may have to close and reopen kodi to force a refresh

Get a kick out of wasting time on some of the series we don't get to see thanks to it.

 

 

 

Ink master is... interesting. Time limited tattoos put on 'canvases' and then judged. Too bad if its a crud job!

Maybe I'm missing something. I've gone back over this thread a few times now and can't find it.

I fist set this up using Matt's M3u playlist using his instructions and it was working fine. Decided to switch to Apsattv's playlist and the channels work fine but not the guide. What's the correct URL I should be using to get a guide working with Apsattv's playlist?

If you click the "View Answer" button on this thread ( https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=151&topicid=198716&showanswer=yes ) the last post has all the details you need. Do the google suggested in the post and look for the first result.

 

If you look on that page - look for the link for the epg.xml file.

 

I was also wondering how I might get the Aussie epg and the NZ info to load at the same time. Perhaps the rest of you have worked this out, but just in case...

 

If you point the epg url to Matts Aussie epg it loads (and caches) the epg for the Aussie channels. If you then change the url to the NZ epg it then loads and caches that info - result is both the Aussie and NZ epg are loaded and available.

 

This got me thinking. Its going to need to update the epg and changing the url to/from AU/NZ every few days will be a pain. So I set up a bat file on my PC to download both the epgs to a folder on my PC that my kodi boxes can access. I pointed the epg url in kodi to the windows shared folder and made it load a file called KODI_epg.xml- and it loads ok. So I just need to make sure every couple of days I copy either the NZ or AU epg to this file location and I should have a guide for both countries in kodi. Ideally I would like something on my PC that can download both epgs and merge them - but have got a bit stuck on that.

Cheers, thanks for that. I did have Matt's EPG in there but it wasn't working when I used Apsattv's m3u playlist. Perhaps I needed to restart Kodi for it to refresh. I'll try that when I get home.

Matt has an epg for BOTH au and nz, check his latest post from today for the new epg.xml file. Google and then go to his latest post.

Outstanding! I have been researching xmltv merging tools and thought maybe I could create something to put the 2 files together - but Matt has done the job - Nice!

 

I think I will still do something like have a windows bat file run once in a while and download the file to a shared folder on my PC.

 

The 2 KODI clients can then pick the epg up from there. Otherwise each time KODI starts I will be downloading a 4mb file from Matts site - dont want to use his bandwidth unnecesarily.
