I have exactly the same behaviour with the last beta version 0.2.4.00 of catch up tv and more and the same hardware and system.
I havn't find the solution by myself. It looks like the connexion between IPTVmanager PVR IPTV Simple and CUTVAM is not working with LibreElec 11.0.4. Even if I tried after downgrade to 11.0.3 and complete reinstall of CUTVAM.
Refresh channel and guide gives always 0% done.

I don't know if it can help.

Hello,

It seems that this problem has nothing to do with catchup tv and more.
It was solved by upgrading LibreElec to version 11.0.5 (Kodi ver 20.3) for my part and configure IPTV simple manually to point to the correct local directories of m3u files and epg.xml and then refresh the files using iptv manager setup.

If it can help

@jlb312 hi, have youve any detail on the process to configure iptv simple manually ?

@louia

hi

I used simply iptv simple setup as I mentionned earlier to point to the correct local directories of m3u files and epg.xml and then refresh the files using iptv manager setup.
You need to know where the files are stored in my case storage drive in my rpi4 box.

Thanks for the tip @jlb312, it helped me get the TV integration to work on LibreElec 12 (generic legacy).
Here are the paths I had to manually reconfigure in IPTV Simple Client :

• M3U : /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.iptv.manager/playlist.m3u8
• XMLTV : /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.iptv.manager/epg.xml

On Android, browse in External Storage/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.iptv.manager.
For other platforms, refer to https://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata.

For linux flatpak version, browse in Home/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/userdata/addon_data/pvr.iptvsimple.
Replace the <setting id="m3uPath"> and <setting id="epgPath"> lines in instance-settings.xml by those appearing in settings.xml which may contain the path to service.iptv.manager/playlist.m3u8 and service.iptv.manager/epg.xml.
Also check that the <setting id="m3uPathType"> and <setting id="epgPathType"> options are both to 0.
