Hey all, so here is my version of EPG with all US and UK channels and now Spanish-language channels coming from Schedule Direct.
Automatic update every day at 6pm CST.
In order to get the new EPG XML source using stalker client you just need to go to System->Add-ons->Stalker Client->Configure->Portal X(the one that you are using; usually the first one)
3 things to ensure:
Guide->Preference->XMLTV Only
XMLTV->Scope->Remote URL
XMLTV->Remote URL->
If you guys having an issues loading the guide try to clear data for both channel and guide then delete the guide.xml file which is located:
SYSTEM->File Manager->Profile Directory->addon_data and then you'll have to choose either pvr.stalker or pvr.iptvsimple after selecting one of those delete the epgxmltv.xml file restart Kodi and the guide should load without issues.
UPDATE Nov 8th 2017
It came to my attention that some of the users reported that the server that hosts EPG sometimes takes forever to load the guide and the download speeds are pretty low too. So from now on you guys will have two options for the EPG you can use either
or you can use
it's up to you which one works best for you.
The EPG hosted on git will be updated/committed automatically every day at midnight CST. Nothing else changed besides that everything else stays the same.
UPDATE May 4th 2018
As you probably all know by now that the
is no longer working and you should use
instead.
Besides that nothing changed.
UPDATE Dec 16th 2018
Just did a little maintenance on the guide, nothing really changed just removed some old channels some old duplicates. Also added couple of new ones, we still got some blank channels in the HD range. Channel ID's look fine so it might be something on the server's end. We'll see if it gets resolved on the next pull. If not I'll have to look into that another day besides that all is the same.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!!
UPDATE Apr 15th 2019
Spring has returned.
Just a little maintenance/clean up, got the new channels added to the guide.
UPDATE Dec 4th 2019
Winter has returned. POW Time!
Just a little maintenance/clean up, got some channels fixed for showing incorrect data.
Hope everybody will have a Merry Christmas (Happy Holidays) and a Happy New Year!
UPDATE Apr. 20th 2020
No Guide.
It appears that Schedules Direct was doing some kind of maintenance on there systems and it didn't go as planned. So Stay Tuned. It Will Be Back but don't know exactly When.
From SD:
"April 20th 2020
SD-JSON service outage
We're aware of the SD-JSON outage. Sunday's maintenance did not go as planned and was backed out. I'm waiting to hear back from the engineer why it's still offline and an ETR."
Sorry for the inconvenience.
aCiD
UPDATE Apr. 21st 2020
Hey all,
It look like we're back on line, seems they fixed the issue with SD-JSON service. I just pulled new guide info so everything should work like it supposed to.
I also noticed some new channels had been added to the lineup so I'll try get the Guide for those channels also.
aCiD.
UPDATE Apr. 26th 2020
Spanish Channels.
I had some time over the weekend, so I decided to get additional subscription for Schedules Direct and start EPG guide for the Spanish speaking channels.
I'll adding new channels as we go. Because of that, the guide got a bit bigger from 32MB to around 49MB.
Just clear your guide data and it should populate with new channels info.
aCiD.
UPDATE Aug. 3rd 2020
Unfortunately I had some storms in my area last night and a tree went down on my powerlines so I was left with out power in my house and no way to update the EPG. It should be fixed by tonight or the latest tomorrow morning.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
aCiD.
UPDATE Aug. 3rd 2020
We Should be all good to go.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
aCiD.
UPDATE Sep. 30th 2020
It came to my attention that the EPG guide didn't get pulled or pushed to github for the past two days. Due to TCP error I'm getting in Mc2xml.
As soon as I get back from work I'll try to fix the problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience guys and gals.
aCiD.
UPDATE Sep. 30th 2020
Got it fixed, minor issue with DNS on my side.
I just did a manual update and push and everything looks OK. EPG should be back online and updating every six hours as usual.
Sorry for the inconvenience guys and gals.
aCiD.
UPDATE Mar. 5th 2022
SpringISH cleanup as usual, not spring yet but had some time last night so I did a little maintenance on the guide.
Added some missing channels, mostly Spanish speaking and some Canadian ones. Fixed some.
Got one extra lineup at Schedules Direct might as well us it. If I see more Canadian channels popping up I'll use that extra lineup for that if not than we got a extra lineup if ever needed.
Besides that all good, hope everybody is having a great last of the winter days, I don't know where you at but in my neck of the woods it feels like spring is just around the corner.
aCiD.
UPDATE May. 23rd 2022
Hey All,
Just little update, schedules direct has some issues with SD-JSON service and I was unable to update the guide.
Should be fixed soon.
Message from SD:
"May 22nd 2022
SD-JSON service problems
a change was recently made to the SD-JSON service and it is causing problems with many applications.
We are aware of it and it is being worked."
Sorry for the inconvenience boy and girls, hope they'll fix it soon because we need our EPG
Take care everybody, I'll check status of SD right after work.

UPDATE Jan. 28th 2023
Good morning all,
Just did a little maintenance on the guide took out some old non existing channels, add some new one a specially in the Spanish speaking section.
I also per one Github user, starting today there's gonna be additional version of the guide. It's the same guide the only difference is that the guide now is compressed so single board computers, TV low power devices might benefit from this.
So, you have a choice you can use the regular uncompressed version if that works fine for you or if you own a low power device, TV maybe a Raspberry PI and so on maybe you can try this new compressed version and see if that works better etc. The choice is yours.
Regular uncompressed version:
or now the compressed version:
All you do is adding .gz extension at the end of the old link the guide.
Have a great weekend where ever you are in the world! And remember sharing is caring fokers Take Care Everyone.
aCiD.
UPDATE Jan. 29th 2023
So another small update, had some time over this weekend and did a bit of maintenance on the guide, so starting today You guys will have an option to choose what guide you want to chose.
Maybe you're outside of US and watch only Spanish speaking channels or vice versa, same with UK channels maybe you don't need all the Spanish speaking channels etc.
So you got a choice now, I did a little split the guide into few sections:
US_guide.xml.gz which is for US channels only (and some Canadian ones).
UK_guide.xml.gz is with UK channels only.
Latino_guide.xml.gz is for Spanish speaking channels.
And of course you got the original with all the channels in it.
or compressed version
The new guides are 7 days in advance as opposed to 24 hours on the combined one, that's why their compressed.
Original URL for the EPG did NOT change.
Hope all of you have a great rest of the weekend or beginning of new week where ever you are in the world.
aCiD
UPDATE Mar. 11th 2023
How's everybody doing? You guys smell that spring in the air? Because I don't, not yet lol..
I got soo blazed this morning that I decided to fill all the US local channels that our service provides...
I've include all those channels in the regular guide and then you get the extended version in .gz
US_local_guide.xml.gz is for all the US local channel that Rocket, NFPS and IPTV66 services provide
With this guide you get 168 hours (7 days) worth of EPG for local channels.
Hope all of you have a great rest of the night...rest of the weekend don't forget to spring your clocks forward if you live in one of those countries that actually observe this strange rule? law?
Let's get this spring rolling in...we need that Vitamin D from the sky
aCiD
UPDATE May 15th 2023

Issue as of 5/15/23, 7:05 AM ET:
We are aware of the intermittent issues with the grid loading (the "oops" message). We are working on the issue and apologize for the inconvenience. No need to contact us about this issue, just check this page for updates.
