Hello! The IPTV platform provides 7-day catch-up support, and each channel has a different RTSP address for catch-up programs. This presents two issues:

  1. It is inconvenient to navigate through a longer timeline to find a specific program. It would be helpful to have the option to select a specific day and display the corresponding program schedule.
  2. Since the RTSP addresses are different, is it possible for the EPG file to support a separate RTSP address for each program? Alternatively, are there any other solutions available?

For 1) can you show with screenshots what you mean?

For 2), catchup in iptvsimple works by using the time of the programme to generate a URL. But in yours the URL is unique per programme. In that case the streaming service would usually have a kodi video addon. The video addon would take a catchup ID that is unique per programme, and use that to lookup the correct stream. This would mean writing a video addon specifically for this purpose.

1) Yesterday, I did some research and found another way to select dates, as shown in the picture(https://github.com/sunday-will/tmp/blob/main/1.jpg). Previously, I used to navigate through the program guide by moving the cursor to find programs from a few days ago. However, both of these methods feel quite cumbersome and need to press multiple times continuously. It would be more convenient if we could directly select the date on the program guide, like this(https://github.com/sunday-will/tmp/blob/main/2.jpg). 2) thx for the suggestion.

What menu are you using to navigate the guide? There is a special navigation menu for PVR that might have what you want. If I recall it uses long press of ok/enter to access it.
