"Create settings for IPTV Simple" created the IPTV Simple instance and then exported channels and EPG. IPTV Simple could load before epg.xml existed, Kodi then stored an empty guide for every channel and didn't ask again for hours (seen on a fresh box). Export first, and stop with an error if the guide file wasn't written. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
