@pihug12 Can you explain the need for this change?

[peno64]

@Lunatixz

I can do that.

service.iptv.manager changes the configuration of iptv simple client to be able to work. That has always been so since the beginning of service.iptv.manager
However since Kodi Matrix this didn't work anymore because for some reason the configuration file of iptv simple client now has a different name. This fix searches the new name and adapts that one such that service.iptv.manager works again.

Changing the settings for another plugin are against repository rules (unless you provide a Yes/No prompt that defaults to No on cancel). You're also not the developer of this script, which is required for PR's; unless the plugin was abandoned. I suggest you contact the original developer for ideas to solve your issue. THX

Again, it has always been like that from the beginning from this addon as developed from the original developer Michael Arnouts and it has been accepted at that time so why suddenly after that time not accept it. It is the only way how this addon can work.

@peno64 I understand and IC you have a PR in the origin repository. However, this doesn't change that fact that you're copying files to another plugin; which is against repository guidelines. All changes to another plugins settings from a third-party are to be handled by Kodi's API. ie setsetting('foobar',true) at no point are copying files from one plugin to another allowed. You are also requested to prompt users to apply changes with clear dialog on specific changes.

I will be reverting the PR and making a bump to the version number to facilitate the change.
