For any users with ARM non-android device where playback has stopped working, see here:

@chewiesw
When you clicked the unspported version, it gave you a url for more info...
That url goes to the link above. I suggest you read it

Nope, you can't even do it on the now.dstv website

Tinuva · Sep 6, 2021

Yeah that's something you have to request from official dstv now channel to support

Dimpie (JIGSAW) · Sep 21, 2021

Usually when losing EPG it is advisable to do a 'run merge' in the iptv merge addon

marbro · Sep 21, 2021

I had to download a iptv add on,

Its working now.
