Bug #5369
EPG guide transfer to kodi client with force tvheadend restart only
0%
Description
My EPG guide is working like a charm, e.g. tvheadend has all the info fully populated from within the web admin page as I would normally expect.
Problem is, when I access tvheadend using Kodi it fails to download the TV guide.
If, while keeping a kodi client running on the side, I invoke a restart of tvheadned service (e.g. : sudo systemctl restart tvheadend) the guide shows up automagically within a second on my already running Kodi right after the service restart (thus kodi client having automatically reconnected).

Updated by You probably know better but from what I read I'm not sure it's related.
Note that the EPG was working just fine on tvheadend 4.2 + kodi.
It stopped working with 4.3 but as I worte earlier, it does end-up working once immediately after a restart of tvheadend... but only once (e.g. when ever I reconnect another kodi client it won't be getting the EPG anymore).

Re-reading the #5366 it refers to UK while I'm actually using Canada EPG for channels detected using ATSC-T hauppauge USB tuner. Here is my EPG source info:
The channel guide source is: https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/?aid=gapzap
I'm using zap2xml.pl from http://zap2xml.awardspace.info/
To download you can use the following:
$ curl -o zap2xml.pl http://phatic.ml/?h=a8lwii
Manually executing with (usually runs through cron):
$ sudo su - hts -c './zap2xml.pl -U -u <user> -p <passwd> -d 7 -o ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_file.xmltv -l fr -I -i ~/.xmltv'
Using this EPG grabber:
$ sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Rigolo/tv-grab-file/master/tv_grab_file -P /usr/local/bin
End-result is neat & clean on the EPG web admin page.
