I have been using Epic Steam (from FireFly TV) for quite a while. I like the service. But ever since the big crash of 2019 I have had intermittent problems.
Setup: Kodi on LibreElec and Kodi on Windows (PVR IPTV Simple Client)
Issue: Everything working fine, then every other day or so all the channels disappear. Nothing in the Simple Client.
To fix the issue I have to go to the client config and restart the service then restart the client. But this doesn't always work.
Sometimes it will load the guide/channels after 3 or 4 restarts sometimes it won't.
I will have to leave it for a day then try again and then it loads. This has been going on for months.
So in effect, I can watch TV every other day.
I also have the Epic Stream app running on my Fire TV. This Works. However, the interface is not as good as Simple Client and the channels seem to buffer a lot more.
Has anybody else experienced this issue of channels/guide randomly loading/disappearing?
Is there a fix to this issue?
If not I will have to look for a new service.
Thanks
I use Epic as well on LibreElec, and they have been doing some maintenance fairly frequently since the panel issues/migration. I don't see the issues you are seeing though unless it's during the maintenance window. It sounds like it's a client side issue to me, if it's happening on two clients maybe it's a network issue on your side? If I ever run into issues with Epic I usually clear the cache and it works after that. Now one thing I will say is I have used numerous IPTV clients and when running on Kodi I see the same types of issues across the board. I also use IPTV clients on windows outside of Kodi and I rarely see these types of issues.
