jernej Hi, can you compile new images with corrected? as well as to build the image of the addon pvr.iptvsimple with support for multiple playlists https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/pvr.iptvsimple

[B] Fun with DHCP [/B]
In my usual stumbling, I may have found something interesting. For whatever reason my Lan drops out (power glitch, whatever) & my OPI-PC running OpenELEC's the NTP server, drops out, leaving it stuck reporting, 07:30 31, December 1969. Well short story, the PI's DHCP setting, fails to re-up, the NTP server on restart. There's the rub, I've added a separate line, with a different NTP server, and it really didn't help much. Now also, all this time, I've got buffering & dropout issues on IPTV streams. But, the NTP server issue is what I was chasing. So I decided to try the Pi Lan in "Static IP" settings mode, because of the above issue, and this is the weird part, when it does fail, it's tossing the PI's DHCP IP outside my Routers IP settings (to about the 169. range, Why??). There's a task here for somebody to tackle, if you understand & your up to it. So, in playing with static, I accidentally found an improvement in both stability & speed, by playing with the DNS server setting. Change DNS, run to Speedtest.net app, (courtesy of Arnubox repo @ http://arnuboxota.com/repo/addons) & back & forth, till you get the ping low & the speed high, should be pretty good, right? I'm paying for a 75mbs cable connection, yet, I'm only seeing roughly 35 to 40mbs tops. (Free DNS servers https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-public-dns-servers-2626062 ) But, my guess is the basic lan settings in OpenELEC still needs a lot of work. This could well be where your seeing at least part of buffering & dropout issues (despite the kodi cache settings) were having. I think maybe better user education, is in order here, cause I'm really stumbling.   Sorry for being so long.
Oh yea, this is all done on IPv4, with IPv6 set to auto. I don't see where IPv6 really does anything at all on or off, does it?

Corrected what?

About iptvsimple: I generally don't support anything regarding addons, so I won't do that (too much other work). You can always build it yourself by intructions provided in FAQ. Besides, you linked code which is meant to be compatible with new, work in progress, Kodi 18. This OpenELEC is using Kodi 16 and I'm almost sure that it won't be possible to compile it directly, without any modifications.

I try to compile, but when I tried it, it is compiled under Ubuntu and have not worked on openelec, due to the dependency problems

OpenELEC has minimal tool requirements to build it. Especially on Ubuntu it should automatically propose what to install if you don't have everything. Only exception is device tree compiler (dtc), because it is specific to H3 project, but that is still easy to install with apt-get.

Unless you know how to fiddle with kernel drivers source, you can't, unfortunatelly.
