Hi
there is any way to add a local M3U file. my M3U link has over 7000 channels i can cut the list down to 800 channels with my channel editor ..but how do i insert my list after is edited.
any ideas please. some times kodi crash do to many channels and vod's
thanks

i've been using it this way for same reasons for about a year now.. but it does have initial setting of 'none' and i just select 'xmltv' and my previous xml path is still there to select and choose channel.

i have sed scripts to choose channels and separate vod in the .m38u files that work nicely if anyone wants them.

Ah, I can see why. I'll fix it.

sub,
I hate to ask, I know how busy you are...
When you said "I'll fix it", did you mean in the next release? or did you mean a patch in the near future?
If it's the next release, then I'll go ahead and start redoing the channels manually.
Either way, thanx for all you do!

Give this patch a go.

A slightly different version of the fix is included in v5 as well.

I did a couple of tests and each time the results were the same; NONE is what I get for the XML path.
I have my M3U and XML files loaded in the lowest level of the "C" drive.
The syntax I'm using is "file://c:/mym3u.m3u" and "file://c:/myepg.xml".

I'm packing it in for the night; I'll try again tomorrow.

OK, I took my time this morning, carefully went over everything, and the results are the same as I posted in message #5.

Hmm, it definitely worked here from a file using "file://...." syntax. For local files, they can't be gzipped. I'll check it again here soon.

I see what's happening. Try this version.

Use this format:
