I notified maintainer but this should fix your crash issues:

The regex may need adjusted for \,\? before the string in case it is comma separated.

While it doesn’t really ‘fix’ whatever GLIB is detecting, I’m not going to spend hours in GDB to find and address what is probably at worst a false positive for a string overflow.

Kodi 19.4 still crashes with kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple-19.2.2-2 (in Manajro)

kodi /usr/sbin/kodi: line 186: 45196 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ $SAVED_ARGS 

Downgrading to kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple-19.1.0-1 solves the issue.

Kodi version:19.4 it crashes after I installed this package. I tried lower version of pvr-iptvsimple, same result. SegFault. The thing that worked for me was to install this and downloaded kodi-pvr-iptvsimple_19.2.2-1~jammy_amd64.deb package and replaced the files in : /usr/lib/kodi/addons/pvr.iptvsimple/ and /usr/share/kodi/addons/ .

I would like to confirm what @d4rkgh0m and @DaveOne have stated. After «kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple 19.2.2-1» is compiled and installed kodi freezes; crashes and exits.

Pvr iptv simple client kodi linux

PVR client add-ons are binary add-ons, but in Ubuntu they are not packaged with Kodi. All other official Kodi versions have these add-ons included with the default install. For Ubuntu, they must be installed through apt-get. In the future this will be something the user can manage from within the Kodi GUI, but for now they must be installed outside of Kodi.

NOTICE: If you don’t already have the Team Kodi (team-xbmc) PPA added, then you will need to do so in order to install the PVR client add-ons (see here). If you’re not sure, you probably already have it installed, as that is how you normally install Kodi in the first place.

1. Quit Kodi if it is already running and open a terminal window
2. Type in and enter your password when prompted
3. Type in but replace PACKAGENAMEHERE with a package name from the table below. example: sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-argustv

The PVR client add-on should now be installed. If Kodi was already running, restart it to load the add-on.

Add-on:IPTV Simple Client

Add-ons

1 Overview

IPTV Simple Client is a basic PVR Addon for XBMC to recieve IPTV Live TV, Radio channels, and EPG directly in XBMC.

It adds support for Live TV watching and EPG TV Guide through IPTV provided by the Internet providers in former USSR countries among others.

Please note that this is not yet stable software, and the authors are in no way responsible for failed playings, incorrect EPG times, wasted hours, or any other undesirable effects.

IMPORTANT: Please disable all PVR addons before installing this IPTV Simple Client addon!

2 What is IPTV

IPTV (abbreviation for «Internet Protocol television») is a system through which television services are delivered using the Internet protocol suite over a packet-switched network such as the Internet, instead of being delivered through traditional terrestrial, satellite signal, and cable television formats.

IPTV is distinguished from Internet television by its on-going standardization process (e.g., European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and preferential deployment scenarios in subscriber-based telecommunications networks with high-speed access channels into end-user premises via set-top boxes or other customer-premises equipment.

For a more broader general overview of what IPTV is and what it is not, please read the article about IPTV on wikipedia.

3 IPTV inside Kodi

To get an IPTV signal into Kodi’s PVR frontend your first option is to use an external third-party PVR backend software or stand-alone hardware box that will parse the signal and then in turn repackage and forward it on to a PVR client addon compatible with Kodi, using PVR backend server software such as Tvheadend, VDR, MythTV, and MediaPortal, or a stand-alone hardware box like Njoy N7 or HDHomeRun.

The second option is to use a PVR client addon in Kodi that is capable of receiving IPTV signal directly in Kodi without an third-party PVR backend software or hardware, for which there currently only is one PVR client addon, and that is |IPTV Simple Client

4 Setup the IPTV Simple Client in Kodi

Space characters need to be replaced with ‘_’ (underscore character). If missing from the M3U file, the addon will use the ‘channel-name’ tag to map the channel to the EPG. tvg-logo Channel Logo filename; without the extension (.png). If missing from the M3U file, the addon will use the ‘channel-name’ to find the logo. tvg-shift Defines the amount of time, in hours, to shift the EPG. Use ‘#EXTM3U’ to shift all channels. Use ‘#EXTINF’ to shift an individual channel. tvg-chno Corresponds to the channel number in Kodi. Displays the number next the name of the channel. group-title Group name for user defined collection of channels. If missing from the M3U file, the addon will use the group name from the previous channel. radio Is a flag that defined a group or a channel as a radio channel. If missing from the M3U file, the addon will use the current group value, if one exists.
