I am testing a new way to install and update the Kodi Addon.

  1. Setup repository

    • click Settings > File manager > Add source
    • click <None> and enter https://kodi.getchannels.com
    • enter channels-kodi for name, then hit OK to save

  2. Install repository

    • click Settings > Add-ons > Install from zip file
    • click on channels-kodi then select repository.fancybits.zip

  3. Install addon

    • click Settings > Add-ons > Install from repository > Channels Add-on Repository
    • click PVR clients > Channels DVR Client > Install

Installing from the repo works from my Mac.

Installing the repository works great. Thank you. However your new build v2021.10.01.2341 still does not fix my HDHomerun OTA channels guide data. I can play the channels just fine but no guide data is present. I do have guide data for COX TVE and PLUTO. I have tried a fresh Kodi install on two separate Windows 10 64 bit computers that are fully updated.

Thank you again for working on this. Your hard work is appreciated!

I got guide data for my Cable Channels but not OTA.

Same here. Was waiting for a recording to end to restart the server to see if that was the problem after the update. Restarted and still no epg on Mac OS.

Used the repo, and it worked. No issues getting OTA channels (technically, I guess mine are cable channels) on my HDHomeRun Prime.

#472

Okay it must be a bug with X.Y style channel numbers

Repo is so much easier. You are the man @tmm1

Repo works perfectly. Let it reinstall the add-on. Still no guide for OTA. TVE is fine.

#475

that makes sense. I actually have a Quatro that I don't use since the signal is weak. I will add it back in and see if it works, just to verify.

#476

I can confirm that. I added my HDHomeRun Quatro back into the system, and the channels show up, but no guide data, but I have all the data from my Primes.

I am having the guide issue for the ota hdhomerun channels as well on the fire tv, fire stick, and Android TV. It's working fine on the Shield.

I haven't had any issues since the Repo. Aeon Nox Silvo skin, Win 10, 10th gen Intel laptop. Running the Channels add-on in tandem with the PlexKodiConnect add-on.

I installed the Kodi pvr client through the repo on my nvidia shield today running Matrix 19.1 and so far zero problems. It performs a lot better than the Addon built for Leia. I’ve sort of gotten used to the standard Channels UI now, so not sure which I’ll stick with but it’s nice to have options.

#481

Is that server update or Kodi addon? I tried updating the server...it says I am up to date. If it's the addon, is it in the new repo? I checked and don't see it.

I do not see it either the old one is there.

#483

Sorry I forgot to update the repo. Try now.

When I click on install from repo, then channels repo, it just shows the one I already have installed. I am probably doing something wrong as I have never had to update manually before.
