Kodi keeps its own copy of the programme guide and fetches it again only when IPTV Simple reloads its files, on its refresh timer; restarting IPTV Simple is not enough. After the first refresh following a Kodi start or add-on update, if the guide changed and nothing is playing, restart IPTV Simple with a 1-minute timer, wait for the reload, then restart it with the hourly timer again.
