The addon needs some modifications to work in Kodi 20 Nexus and 19.4 Matrix.
So, I use zap2xml.pl as a stand alone on my Linux entertainment server running by cron and using tv_grab_file to import into tvheadend, NextPVR can just import the xmltv file.
I found that when using a VPN that puts you in Europe you need to go into zap2xml.pl and change all instances of tvlistings.zap2it.com" to "tvschedule.zap2it.com" and go to tvschedules.zap2it to setup your favorites. Evidently, there is geoblocking.
I use this command line:
/opt/zap2xml/zap2xml.pl -C /opt/zap2xml/zap2xmlrc
