Description

Add a simpler method of retrieving EPG's from .xml URL's. Most people using IPTV services are given a URL to where their EPG file is stored in an XML format. Under the External XMLTV import module add a simple text box that allows the input of a URL and that does the rest of the work for the import for the end user. Rather than the need for cron jobs and other methods of keeping the EPG updated. This would be straightforward for non technical users to understand and use.

Im agree, having to add a special file in /usr/bin/ for a simple file download maybe is perhaps a bit excessive.
Not to mention using tvheadend as an addon in kodi where things get complicated.
