I installed openpli 6.1 dated 2018.04.09 and assume the rytec files came with it unless my iptv
provider changed them as they use epgimporter in their install.
It's a shame crossepg won't install then I could use that for sat tv and epgimport for iptv as I do on openvix.
I only tried openpli because it worked better for the Zgemma 2s when using my iptv provider.
I will try what you suggest and see how it goes.
Many thanks for your time and input.
