hello, i use a vpn so it's kind of hard to grab the list, i do get it sometimes, is there a way i can grab the xml and epg from my pc and serve it myself to my other devices so i don't keep getting locked out?

The issue is that you’ll still be behind the VPN when trying to access a local address. So, if the application tries to load something from a local IP like 10.0.0.3, it will treat that IP as part of the VPN’s network. Have you tried using the GZ version? It’s a much smaller file size, so it might help..

I hope that helps.

just in case anybody else would like to follow along i made a powershell script to download the files, then win task scheduled the script to run every 8 hours then shared said files on my network to my kodi devices..delete if not allowed please. this way only 1 device has to download the information from this server then share with the other devices.
