1. Activate hiden folders/files in kodi:
   Kodi > Settings > Media > General > View hiden folders/files.

2. Manualy define location of m3u8 and EPG xml files.
   Kodi > Settings > Addons > My addons > PVR Client > IPTV Simple client > Settings > Edit "Migrated Addons"
   M3U file: Browse local > "Personal folder > .kodi\userdata\addon_data\service.iptv.manager\playlist.m3u8"
   Fichier EPG: Browse local > "Personal folder > .kodi\userdata\addon_data\service.iptv.manager\epg.xml"

Thanks for reply. I change path directory as indicated, still nothing on epg. For information on Shield : path IS special://profile/addon_data\service.iptv.manager\playlist.m3u8

Ok no problem

For information on Shield : path IS special://profile/addon_data\service.iptv.manager\playlist.m3u8

make sure you don't have another "addon_data\service.iptv.manager" folder before your "profile" folder.

1. Go to
   \Userdata\addon_data\pvr.iptvsimple
   You should have 1 file named "settings.xml". If you already have another file "instance-settings-1.xml" everything is ok. Nothing more to do.
   If there is no "instance-settings-1.xml" you have to copy-paste "settings.xml" TO "instance-settings-1.xml". (Keep a copy of "settings.xml" side by side in case of).
   After renaming this file i think you should reset IPTV simple client settings:

2. make sure "IPTV simple client" has good settings:
   Kodi > Settings > Addons > My addons > PVR Client > IPTV Simple client > Settings > Edit "Migrated Addons" > General
   Check that Tick the box is "Activated". This is the place where i asked youy before to enter manualy LOCAL path for epg.xml file.

Go to Addond programs > IPTV manager > Settings > IPTV simple
-configure iptv simple automatically
-Tick "automatically restart IPTV simple.."
IPTV manager > Settings > Channels > refresh channels & guide now

Wahou thanks a lot !!!! Perfect and clear indication.

[Jaunattend]

Thanks 😊

[calvin4242]

does it works for you?

[Jaunattend]

Yes ! For information, on Shield no file before /profile.

I check, everything were ok on point 1 and 2. The point 3 make the difference.

Thx again for helping me !
