I've been fighting with the episode guide not loading, and just stumbled across a weird solution/bug.
When load the XMLTV file via httpS, the instance refuses to parse and WILL NOT load it. The process always claims 0 new/0 inserted/0 updated after EPG update is run. There are no errors in the logs, just normal attempts to process from what I can see.
After trying 100 other things, I switched over to plain-text http, and like magic the exact same file loads perfectly. File itself is static and the SSL cert is a trusted from LetsEncrypt provider. This makes absolutely no sense.
The URL to Guide is pulled via the domain where the cert is valid, so it's not a DNS mis-match issue or anything like that.
My setup from Home > Guide:
Here are the details from my SSL Cert.
Just for reference, both `wget` and `curl` running on the linux machine are perfectly fine with the SSL connection to pull the xmltv.xml file...
