Version 3.10.1.1 is now out, it fixes the crash after addon restart.
If you’re using Nightly, you will be able to update tomorrow.

9.2.6 update breaks your addon on mxqpro (non ng device). When I start live playback, it starts playback as it should, but osd shows incorrect info: 96 hours timeshift and incorrect title. When I try to use archive, it always plays only first available event, not chosen one. If I try to seek live playback, again it starts to play oldest event available (96 hours ago).
That’s confirmed 100%, I downgraded again to 9.2.5 and it works again. Catchup source is provided inside m3u and it’s compatible with Kodi.
On Vontar X3 though, after 9.2.6 update it still works fine. Vontar X3 is ng device.
I tried to clear addon data, reinstalall it, still issue persists. That’s weird, it seems bug is on non-ng old devices only and it makes addon unusable, as it displays epg incorrectly and catchup does not work anymore.
With catchup disabled, all is still fine and epg is fine as well.
Please try this build, and let us know whether it fixes the issue or not:

Maybe I will be able to try it at the weekend. I don’t have that box, it’s currently in use by my father, for now I downgraded to 9.2.5 and disabled new version notify to make it usable again.
I got this issue as well and can confirm that this build fixes it

@TheCoolest will 9.2.7 be created now? I guess it will be last final update, as 19.0 won’t happen
9.2.7 will be created eventually. The change in the build above has been added into the nightly builds, so it will be included in the next release.
9.2 from now on will be in maintenance-only, mostly bug fixes, no new features or active development.
The Archive functionality has been built into the pvr.iptvsimple add-on in 19.0. IPTV Archive is based on it, it just included some extra patches to make archive work. So I see no problems in transitioning on to 19.0, as you are not losing any functionality. I believe that the user experience should be better with it.
Hello guys! I use an OTT TV provider and my kodi shows the EPG but the archive funtion does not work. It just goes to the live tv… Can anyone help?
I use IPTV Simple Client.
Here are my settings: https://www.mediafire.com/file/jlb9jynkiqs167c/epg.txt/file
This thread is only for IPTV Archive Client on Kodi 18.x.
IPTV Simple Client on Leia doesn’t support archive, for support of Kodi 19.0, you need to ask on Kodi’s forum.
So you mean you are going to make IPTV Archive addon working on Matrix, right? Currently, it’s not compatible and can’t be even enabled.
As I can see, Matrix version of ITPV Simple includes some extra functionalities, like (local? ) timeshift support for example.
No. IPTV Simple on Matrix supports the archive functionality “out of the box”, so the IPTV Archive add-on is no longer needed on Matrix.
What is the problem with catchup exactly and why can’t I see it on ng device? Is it also related to Matrix and official Simple IPTV addon?
This addon doesn’t exist in Matrix because the functionality is already in IPTV Simple Client in Matrix, so it’s no longer needed.
Yes but it does not work. Do you any wrong values in my configuration?
What does not work?
On Leia the IPTV Simple Client doesn’t support archive functionality.
On Matrix, if it doesn’t work, you need to ask on Kodi forums.

Matrix IPTV Simple addon recently introduced option to force catchup format and bypass catchup url provided in m3u. Can you backport it to your addon?
In my case, I want to use Flussonic archive and catchup tags included in m3u are not suitable for Kodi - archive works, but unfinished programme playback support is broken. To get it working, need to either remove catchup tags from m3u or use override option.
Not really. Correct Flussonic support can’t be represented by universal url format. Addon includes native Flussonic support and only this way correct timeshift+catchup is possible currently.
What I can set as you shown on screenshot is not enough to get full support.
Version 7.5 introduces mode force feature. I’ve been discussed with phunkyfish on Kodi forum about that and finally force option has been added.
To be honest I still don’t understand what this is supposed to do.
If you want to override the m3u list, just specify the catchup type manually.
I’m pretty sure that somewhere in this thread we’ve discussed that one type of archive is not going to work with the current implementation of IPTV Archive.
It’s supposed to override catchup type (for example, set to Flussonic), or use catchup tags from m3u. I don’t mean to use archive url format, I mean native built in Flussonic archive support. There are new options to decide if want to override, or not.
On Matrix, without change I mentioned, even with archive type set to Flussonic, it was not appplied, because catchup tags from m3u were used.
Can I override catchup tags from m3u and use native Flussonic support instead?
