The regular file is loading the information for me. https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/horizon.tv.xml

Can you try refreshing the EPG? If that doesn't help try changing the the URL ending in .xml instead of .xml.gz and see if that helps.

[extream87]

Hmmm maybe... but check the first line.

date= "20230130 "

Usually epg get update daily. Thanks

[PopeyeTheSai10r]

Hmmm maybe... but check the first line. date= "20230130 "

Good point but the EPG data should still be accurate since it grabbed 2 days worth of data.

@freearhey Any idea why it wasn't published if everything ran okay?

The last run was successful - https://github.com/iptv-org/epg/actions/runs/4050391148/jobs/6967735724

[joshmackey]

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/ja/tvguide.myjcom.jp.xml is also missing an update.

[RandySaint]

I've checked 4 others and they all show a date of "20230130". It looks like some service has stopped yesterday. https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/rev.bs.xml https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/tvpassport.com.xml https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/directv.com.xml https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/tvguide.com.xml The .xml.gz file also has the "20230130" date, as well.

[PopeyeTheSai10r]

Let's wait until the next run and the next page update to see if it updates them correctly this time. If it doesn't, we can look further into this a bit more.

[freearhey]

The reason why the files were not updated is this error: https://github.com/iptv-org/epg/actions/runs/4052569522

And I believe it was caused by a recent failure of GitHub itself: https://www.githubstatus.com/history

At the moment, everything seems to be working fine: https://www.githubstatus.com/

Just to add some info about the current state: in the last 24 hours (it's now almost 10h Central European Time, Feb. 1), I wasn't able to get any updated EPG for the German language channels at

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/hd-plus.de.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/horizon.tv.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/magentatv.at.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/tv.blue.ch.xml.gz

The EPG for British English channels and for Swedish ones

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/bt.com.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/sky.com.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/tv24.co.uk.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/sv/allente.se.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/sv/tv24.se.xml.gz

worked 9 hours ago but have also stopped in the meantime (maybe three hours ago).

One of the EPG links is fully working:

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/tvpassport.com.xml.gz

And

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/fr/tvhebdo.com.xml.gz

gives at least still results for HBO Canada 1 but not any longer for FX+FXX Canada (which it did a few hours ago).

And this one

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Apollo2000/TVGuide/master/utc.xml.gz

is not from this EPG department but still usable for US local channels (but less for other channels).

Maybe it helps to know which ones work and which ones don't?

---

UPDATE:

Just used only one EPG in my file:

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/magentatv.at.xml.gz

and everything works fine!

I'll test now a bit more and give an update on more information.

Done:

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/en/sky.com.xml.gz https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/sv/allente.se.xml.gz

also work fine in single *.m3u files with only one link...

I see a pattern.... maybe it has something to do with Kodi? I updated Kodi two days ago to version 20.0 - is it possible that since then Kodi has a problem dealing with more EPG links in a single file? I'm just an amateur who uses Kodi but without any clue how the update and the described problem in this thread could be tied together but some of you may know the answer or are participating in the Kodi forum? This doesn't seem to be a problem for this forum if @extream87 , @joshmackey and @RandySaint also use Kodi and updated it to version 20.0.

What @freearhey singled out seemed to be an additional issue.

[extream87]

@freearhey @PopeyeTheSai10r Thanks both for your great work. Today accessing the file: https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/horizon.tv.xml.gz or https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/de/horizon.tv.xml

I get the error: File not found

[RevGear]

horizon.tv has been retuning a 403 error for every German channel request, hence there is no data to generate the xml guide. The Slovak channels use a different URL which is still working.

I can't currently access the horizon.tv website homepage. Some of the other pages redirect back to Virgin Media Ireland. Has there been a change of ownership that was effective today?

[GlamoramaAttack]

@extream87

I get the error: File not found

Me too. But may I ask you whether you use Kodi and which PVR client? Mine is 'IPTV Simple Client' and I use the 'IPTV Merge' addon.

[RandySaint]

Looks like it's working for me. I suspect the Github glitch was the cause as suggested by freearhey.

Thanks for your help!

[extream87]

@RandySaint impossible horizon.tv.xml or gz works for you lol

[RandySaint]

I'm sorry for the confusion. I did not try horizon.tv.xml. The 4 I listed above work for me, so my channel guide is working.

[GlamoramaAttack]

It's now working for me again too. Still I'm wondering why somehow the use of multiple EPG sources seemed to be a problem... but it is now resolved. Thanks!

[joshmackey]

https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/ja/tvguide.myjcom.jp.xml wasn't updated again. No more schedule data.

[extream87]

@PopeyeTheSai10r Germany - horizon.tv goes down permanently?

[RevGear]

It appears that the Horizon GO platform in Germany has now closed down and the horizon.tv data is no longer accessible. As I mentioned above the Horizon service in Slovakia does still work. I'll do a PR to remove the German channels
