It seems a list is provided where a string is expected. This we should check and handle in IPTV Manager, but the cause is likely to be an error in the data structure.

[michaelarnauts]

It can be a string in case you want to pass raw xmltv, or a dict in case it's json-epg, but not a list.

See

service.iptv.manager/resources/lib/modules/iptvsimple.py

Line 178 in 513e25d

fdesc.write(epg.encode('utf-8'))

In addon.py, "epg" is set as list.
change with "epg_list" will make it work.

epg = []

epg.append(addon.get_epg())

if not data.get('epg'):

return data['epg']
