Unable to run addon itself

HW: Radxa Zero OS: Coreelec 19.5-Matrix_rc1

I installed the addon via zip and following the setup info to run the addon first I did so and received this error:

So I went ahead and setup the tvheadend user and password next and try to rerun the addon and get this:

My username and password are correct and I can log in to TVHeadend just fine. TVHE both server and client are on the same machine. I am just unable to run the addon to set my parameters. Any advice please? Thanks

So there seems to be a conflict between zap2epg and ver 4.3 of TVHE, at least on my device. I installed TVHE 4.2 and this has resolved the issue. Since TVHE 4.2 is still being maintained from the coreelec team, I'm going to mark this as closed.

I was getting the same issue with 4.3 on Manjaro and got around it. In the file the Kodi log mentions, default.py, put a hash in front of line 79. # check_status = check_load.raise_for_status() After that, the addon ran in Kodi.

Even better, do this. It is mentioned in a different closed issue to change a TVH setting. Configuration/General/Base/Authentication Type: change drop down to "both plain and digest"
