Yes, I noticed, but you didn't delete the data, so the guide hadn't yet repopulated. Merely restarting Kodi doesn't download a new guide.

Today, noticed the guide was running out around 1am so I restarted and now it won't load.

I always get this figured out but usually when stuff like that starts to happen some major things are to follow. And now it's saying authentication failed.

Not a newbie so I'll get it sorted.

Got it to load up but guide is ending around 1am for most channels and some 2am. Just like it was showing this morning before it showed authentication failed. Usually means some bigger problems are on the horizon.

At 4pm the guide info goes to gray genre: other/unlnown.

Not worried, just letting the people know so they are aware.
 
This is from psycon,

"There is currently an issue with one of the servers we grab from. we are jsut going to wait it out for a couple days. will switch to alternate sources if it doesnt resolve on its own soon."



As I've been saying up earlier, the issue had nothing to do with setting XMLTV only. Yes and No about the restart. If you change configuration in the client and restart it will populate the guide but I understand just restarting doesn't restart the guide.

There was something bigger going on. Again, no worries on my end. I know it will be handled.
 
Another update from psycon yesterday evening:

http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?15378-epg-ninja-Status-updates

"EPG ninja: Status updates
EPG.ninja site = Up
XMLTV EPG File = Broken - mar 9
Stalker server provided EPG = Up

comment:
we are having issues connecting to one of our sources.. seems to be on their end.. waiting it out, if it takes more than a couple days we will switch to alternate sources..

If you are getting no guide, or your guide is no longer color coded, this is why .
should come back on its own when the issue is resolved."

Anyone able to get the Client Stalker NFPS to install on Kodi Jarvis, on the Raspberry PI 2 ?? I tried the 2 versions on the EPG.Ninja site, both won't install

same for me on firetv. I read on another thread that pvr.stalker.nfps doesnt work anymore and you have to use stalker client instead which is a lot more difficult to configure. Hope im wrong. but I ccant get stalker.nfps working

I would have no issues with that, the issue I having with using Stalker Client, is getting a PVR client that is up to date, the one that comes with Jarvis in the OpenElec is outdated, and I can't seem to find the updated version of the PVR Stalker client to update it, the one built in I believe is still .0.8.4 I think. I did update to Jarvis, but the Stlaker client is still old.
 
is there any possibility to run the epg guide plugin standalone via ubuntu? maybe via python script or something? i run a local ubuntu server/NAS system for media and i have 5 routes in my home.. all 5 are KODI boxes and all 5 update their guide independently on their own currently with the epg plugins but it feels like alot of unnessesary updates and server usage for you guys.. right now i thought about just keeping my "main" system using the epg plugin and writing it to my NAS storage and then just pointing the PVR clients on each machine to that remote "epg file". While this works its not really the best situation as there are some days i could go without turning on my "main" system so other systems could end up without guide data as a result, another question, If i download a full weeks worth of EPG, does that load the full week in KODI even if i have only 1 day selected? some of my devices are 1gb ram devices and i like to keep my epg at 24 hours of data.
 
why dont you look in the epg updater code and get the url for the zip file and write a bash file that downloads it with wget or whatever you prefer and unzip and place it anywhere you want.set a crond to do it once a day and point all your boxes at that file.
be 2-3 lines code.
 
i didnt know i was just downloading a zip file from the epg updater addon, i think i was trying to make it more complicated than it needs to be. Thanks for the tip, ill reply back to update once i get it going, incase someone is looking to do the same. :cool:
 
ah.. did not know there was an update. I had to do a manual update on the repo to get it. thanks. :)

EDIT: that of cause did the trick. wise move btw. thanks again and for all that you guys do to give us this brilliant epg.

I've been having issues since yesterday. I'm sure psycon is on it but there is definatley an issue.

Thing is I tried too much to get it back and now lost all my custimIzations as I only activate 110 channels and move them around like i like it. It's a solid 2-3 hours but I'll just get it done next when psycon gets this resolved.
