Channel unduly exported in EPG generating errors in IPTV manager

[billy34]

Describe the bug

Using IPTV manager integration I made selection of 28 channels to use (mostly french + arte FR in world) I'm getting a lot of errors in log and no epg displayed. I already cleared epg cache rebuilt it with IPTV manager, manually removed epg.xml file from filesystem using ssh, regenerate it and nothing. Errors are generated by IPTV simple trying to read a date from stop attribute of program. Looking at it there is a bunch of stopattributes having a value of None, all belonging to Euronews channel. That surprises me because I haven't selected this channel ! So I analyzed the epg.xml file and found my 28 channels at the beginning and after extracting all channel attributes from program entries I got 66 channels ! Shouldn't they been filtered by the send_epgfunction of CUTVM' iptvmanager.py ? It wouldn't solve the error when reading Nonedates but maybe solve mine if this channel is no more exported.

By the way thank you for this marvelous plugin 😄

Using : OSMC Kodi Leia, CUTVM 0.2.35~beta02
