Is there any way to use it without epg? For example, jump to specific date and time. Some streams provide catchup url, but no epg available.
This thread is for IPTV Archive addon discussion, not for inputstream issues.
Should work fine without an epg.
How to provide specific time and date in the past without epg?
You can’t, you need to seek back by (current time - start time)
Ok, but I mean jump a few days back without epg. Also seek looks to not working either, seek indicator position is random, as there’s no any defined begin/end times
Have you considered some option to provide time and date? Without epg, functionality is rather limited currently
I don’t plan to invest any more time into this addon, with the exception of critical issues. Matrix final will be out soon, and it has native support for archive in pvr.iptvsimple.
I validated that starting playback of channels without an EPG, it should always start at end of the X-days of “seek buffer”.
Ok, I made similar request on Kodi forum, no response yet
I would like such feature too. Maybe one day phunkyfish will do it.
What I need is new json parameter timestamp and using like this:
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Open","params":{"item":{"channelid":14,"timestamp":1610011192}}}'
I did start working on it but having problems passing this information from Kodi to pvr client 
Maybe you can post on Kodi forums, more requests means better chance
I already did in same thread.
I already started to work on some code. And when something will be done I will show to phunkyfish.
Update: Send to phunkyfish. Hope he will made a comment soon.
someone pushed an update to this addon, version 3.10.0.1, which breaks compatibility groups in the m3u.
when disabling and enabling this plugin not via full kodi restart, an error is raised for channels that have group, like so:
2021-02-05 15:12:15.559 T:3129185152 DEBUG: AddOnLog: PVR IPTV Archive Client: Read line: ‘http://aaa.bbb:80/bbb/aaa/1234’
2021-02-05 15:12:15.559 T:3129185152 DEBUG: AddOnLog: PVR IPTV Archive Client: Found URL: ‘http://aaa.bbb:80/bbb/aaa/1234’ (current channel name: ‘UK: aaa’, channel group: ‘test’)
2021-02-05 15:12:15.561 T:3129185152 ERROR: Process error processing job pvr-update-addons
reverting back to the zip @TheCoolest linked to works.
since the addon is a compiled type and not a py script, I can’t even see where the problem might be 
Yes, I upstreamed a change to add #EXTGRP tag support to the Leia addon.
Please send a sample m3u8 file for me to look at the problem.
I redacted the real data, this is the structure:
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="Channel 1" tvg-name="UK: Channel 1" tvg-logo="https://image.ibb.co/real/filelink.png" group-title="First",UK: Channel 1
http://aaa.bbb:80/ccc/ddd/51
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="Channel 2" tvg-name="UK: Channel 2" tvg-logo="https://image.ibb.co/real/filelink2.png" group-title="Second",UK: Channel 2
http://aaa.bbb:80/ccc/ddd/22I’ll look into it. Was pretty sure I have not introduced any regressions to existing code… 
And what exactly is the problem with this 2 channels? From my test both groups are recognized.
But the error Process error processing job pvr-update-addons is really shown but I’m not sure why. Seems it doesn’t have any harm. I see it also with my playlist.
Where is it shown? Gui message or logs? What steps to reproduce it?
It’s in the Kodi log.
It is written to kodi.log when this addon is disabled and then enabled from Kodi. It doesn’t happen when Kodi is started.
when I disable/enable the plugin to e.g. refresh my playlist, it won’t finish and the ‘live tv’ page in homescreen will be unaccusable.
if I restart Kodi, then yes it works, but I wouldn’t want to do that every time I need to refresh my channel list (which is currently being done automatically by disabling/enabling this addon).
when the error is shown, it means the pvr addon stopped working.
p.s. @TheCoolest it’s no big deal for me, I reverted to the previous version.
I guess that when Matrix is out this addon will be abandoned anyway, so maybe it’s not worth investing any time on this…
