Just tested - working fine. What error you getting? Maybe your antivirus is blocking it due to being a false postive?

No kodi guide. You have to use http://guide.dstv.com in a browser

I thought there might be something like that where you can add the add-on.

no but guides like ivue uses a xml file.

You can scrape your own guide info with e.g. webgrab and load it inside ivue. Just google webgrab to find tutorials and more info on google.

Still works for me. I'm on Kodi 18 RC4. What version of Kodi are you using?

 

[Düber]

What version of Kodi are you using?

Osmc nightly on a Rpi.

Kodi (18.0-BETA2). Platform: Linux ARM (Thumb) 32-bit
NOTICE: Using Release Kodi x32 build (version for Raspberry Pi)

It worked fine until a few days ago, but I'm starting to suspect a problem on my side. I can ping the address from the pi but it is telling me ..
"Max retries exceeded with url: .." (in Kodi)

Ping what address from the pi?
