>This change has numerously been asked on Kodi forums in the past years.
>Plus, I had to strip excessive commas from Divan.TV channel names not to break

>> Only use Local logo location if file is relative
>> Add string initialisation from macros as some linux fail to compile without

>This is a low-risk change because the release on Debian compiles without

>The logo commit is a fix for buggy logic for *some* users who provide custom
>logo
>packs for their IPTV channels.

>> v7.6.2:
>> Always load EPG data if we prefer XMLTV logos or catchup is enabled
>> Allow catchup correction (timezone shift) when live URLs have catchup
>> placeholders
>
>This commit is another correction for a previously buggy behavior that

>irregular updates of EPG data. The PVR timeshift mode introduced in Kodi 19.0
>requires
>daily update of EPG info, and this commit ensures the update takes place.
>
>> v7.6.1:
>> Update readme
>> update text for path type option
>> Allow ignoring M3U logos when using local logo path
>
>This is a requested feature correcting previously buggy behavior (see [1]).
>The readme part is a documentation fix reflecting the new logic.
>
>> v7.6.0:
>> Support xeev XC catchup prefixes
>> Add setting for catchup correction
>> Disable other catchup settings if catched is not enabled
>> Allow flusonnic channel ids containing forward slashes
>> Support url-tvg in M3U header in addition to x-tvg-url
>> Add support for XZ compression of XMLTV data
>
>This was requested in Kodi reddit group (if my memory serves me well.
>because I can not find the exact post).

>> v7.5.1:
>> Ensure channel's catchup window is used instead of value from settings
>> Treat 'tvg-rec' catchup tag like the siptv 'timeshift' tag
>> Fix typo
>
>This is a correction to timeshift ('catchup') code making the addon to

>> v7.5.0:
>> Allow setting scope for channels using catchup mode setting to enable
>> overriding
>> Support sub channel numbers
>
>This was requested in [2].
