Hi,
I tried to update some Rakuten Channels but get an error with some of the channels:
[ Info ] ( 1/12 ) RAKUTEN.TV -- chan. (xmltv_id=NL: Top Films - Rakuten TV) -- mode Force
[Warning ] server error, code 503
[Error ] Unable to update channel NL: Top Films - Rakuten TV
[Critical] Generic syntax exception:
[Critical] message:
[Error ] no index page data received from NL: Top Films - Rakuten TV
[Error ] unable to update channel, try again later
[ Info ] Existing guide data restored!

Did something changed or am I doing something wrong?
Kind regards,

I think now you need ip or vpn from the country you grab, the channel list works fine from any country( no ip or vpn needed)
In your case i had to use vpn for netherland
Thankx mat! I'm from the Netherlands but tried it with vpn anyway. See attatched the logging. ps: most of the Racuten channels I want are fine but some are not.
