[x86-64] Iptv Simple Client non working on LE 13 nightly builds

    Hi,

    I installed LE13 nightly build on my new GMK NUC with N150, I installed LE13 just because LE12 doens't boot.

    Well, everthing is Ok but Iptv simple client version 21.10.1.1 doesn't work, it simply says it's not compatible with LE 13 version.

    I searched the web (maybe not so well) but I didn't find any way to make it work nor to find any working version.

    Can someone help me in some way?

    Thanks a lot, Michele.

    I'd guess that you first installed LE12 and the LE12 compatible version of iptv.simple, and have since bumped to LE13, but for reasons unknown the add-on has not self-updated to the LE13 compatible version. LE13 releases should be using 22.4.1.1 which exists in the LE (12.80.1) add-on repo.

    Try doing a force refresh on the repo. If that doesn't work, manually delete the add-on (keeping config) and then manually reinstall the add-on from the repo. Kodi debug logs should contain errors if this fails, but the add-on is there and we don't mirror add-ons or do any fancy traffic management/blocking on servers, so the main reason for add-on updates/installs to fail is basic connectivity issues on the user end.

    Hi and thanks for reply.

    I didn't install LE12 first and then bumped to LE13 just because with my new N150 hardware LE12 did't boot at all. I directly install LE13 nightly, then restore a backup from LE12 config (maybe this could have been the problem?). This procedure restored LE12 iptv compatible client that did not work on LE13.

    If you used the backup function in the LE settings add-on it includes /storage/.kodi/addons in the backup so the restore reinstated the incompatible LE12 add-on version. Just uninstall the add-on (keeping config) and then install the correct one from the LE repo.

    I did that and bingo, the new compatible addon has been installed!

    I really thank you very much!!!
