Tvheadend

I have HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2024~g420786927 compiled from source running on Raspberry Pi3 with two Kodi 19.3 (LibreElec V10.02 Generic x86-64) Clients.

I have created the following script that I found bits and pieces of here and there, because nowhere did I find it complete and correct.

#!/bin/bash
rm /home/hts/xmltv.log
rm /home/hts/epg.xml
touch /home/hts/xmltv.log
echo "Download starting..." >> /home/hts/xmltvlog/xmltv.log
echo "Time: $(date)" >> /home/hts/xmltvlog/xmltv.log
wget -O /home/hts/epg.xml https://techzyon.com/epg/plutotv_guide.xml
cat /home/hts/epg.xml | sudo socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/epggrab/xmltv.sock
echo "" >> /home/hts/xmltv.log
echo "Time: $(date)" >> /home/hts/xmltv.log
echo "EPG Updated successfully." >> /home/hts/xmltv.log

The script, as you can see gets guide data from: is getting xml from https://techzyon.com/epg/plutotv_guide.xml

The above script runs on a Cron which apparently is working because of what I see in the first image. Also I can see the epg.xml file date/time updated.

Looking at first attachment from TVH Portal Configuration > Channel/EPG > EPG Grabber Channels...
It looks like channels are recognized from that screen

Looking at the second attachment from TVH Portal Electronic Program Guide, I believe this should show me some EPG content but does not.

I also see no guide data on either Kodi client.

Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks,
Mark

NOTE TO DEVS:
For any Dev that may read this please understand that in my opinion, TVHeadend seems to be a good engine, however TVHeadend, as others have noted too, is the most overly complicated and confusing user interface of ALL similar products. I suspect it is a problem resulting from "evolution" and nothing was ever re-thought to make logical sense as it evolved. I think the devs would benefit by taking a good hard look at the Web config interface of NextPVR and TV Mosaic OSE, and considering a major overhaul of the web interface for TVHeadend.

I also see years of the same issues posted in forums with nothing more than work-arounds proposed like the scanning problem for IPTV Automatic Networks that often does not work. The work around proposed, often fails too. That problem is only the tip of the iceberg.
