Running LibreELEC 8.2.5

That is your first problem. LibreELEC tries so hard to keep users away from the Linux command line that it makes it very difficult to fix issues like this, because the standard approaches for dealing with this issue don't work if you can't get to a Linux command prompt, or you can't install standard tools such as a text editor. If I were you I'd consider running Ubuntu desktop (tip: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is easier to work with than the latest LTS version 18.04 due to changes in the way graphics are handled in 18.04) and then installing Tvheadend and Kodi on that. If you really want to stay with LibreELEC, then I believe there is an addon that is written in Python that is supposed to handle guide data, but I have never used it and don't know how it works. You can find it at https://github.com/edit4ever/script.module.zap2epg

Wow! Wasn’t expecting this kind of answer but ok.

I can get to the command prompt via Putty, no problem at all but I guess you know that already.
But since I have no knowledge of Linux file system, structure and rights it’s hard.
I have been working with other PC OS for 30 years so...

Why should it work better with Ubuntu?

BTW, Now I got epg data on 2 of my channels. Don’t know why it’s only two. Guess I try to reconnect all channels manually again.

From where do you retrieve your epg? I see you have "tv_grab_file", but how have you configured it? You mentioned a URL? Where did you configure that?

What is the content of /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file ?

This: http://estiptv.site/epg/SE_guide.xml config in TVHEADEND server as an XML URL.

This is the content of tv_grab_file:

OK, the xmltv file looks good.

If you do:

. /etc/profile
env | grep XML

What do you get?
You expect something like:

XMLTV_TYPE=WEB
XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB=http://estiptv.site/epg/SE_guide.xml

The settings look like they should come from the file:

$ADDON_SETTINGS

$HOME/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42/settings.xml 

When I send :
. /etc/profile
env | grep XML
I dont get anything at all. There is nothing about XML in the Environment variables.

I removed all from the "Channel / EPG - EPG Grabber Channels" and remaped them again on tab "Channel / EPG - Channels" and I Think that all EPG data is coming back again.

It looks like all EPG data is back again. Should I enter the ENV variables somewhere?
XMLTV_TYPE=WEB
XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB=http://estiptv.site/epg/SE_guide.xml

Does anyone know if I should add this to the ENV variables?

XMLTV_TYPE=WEB
XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB=http://estiptv.site/epg/SE_guide.xml

And how do I do it?
