Channel Not Added

@Luke

Just an FYI, I'm not the OP, but I tried to add the file as a test and I did wait for the guide refresh to complete. No channel was added.

Hi there @daldanalet's look at an example:

How to Report a Problem

Most likely you have a filter or restriction activated that is hiding it.

As I said, I'm not the OP, but what the heck it might help solve the problem. I used my Beta server for the test as I didn't want to mess with my production server. Attached is log.

The log shows a repeated error in processing an xmltv response

	System.Xml.XmlException: System.Xml.XmlException: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

Would need to see the response received 

You may need to run wireshark and find the actual request and response received to see why it is being flagged as invalid

Hi, looks like your configured xml guide source is not valid xml?

[daldana 122]

As I stated earlier, I was not the OP, I just responded to the thread M3U Channel Ignored. When I tried to add the channel per his thread, I guessed at what the xml would be and obviously I was wrong. I asked the OP the same question about where he would be getting guide information.

[Luke 42077]

OK I looked at this m3u8 and this is not in the correct format. It is a single video stream, probably pointing to a specific channel for playback.

What you need to enter here is an m3u channel listing. Here is how it should be formatted:
