the guide seems to have lost some channels?
just a headsup about the 24 hour pull. last time usually there was only a few hours ahead in the epg. sometimes i would even reset i to see if i could get the next few hours to get to the ones i needed to know about, not very efficient for me or the server. i was so happy when you switched to 3 days it meant i could all of a sudden use the guide as a advanced epg, and its not only for recording. i have not reset or touched it anytime since, its been running awesome.
i for example search the guide for upcoming shows all the time for me that is part of what the epg is meant for, to search for when the new show you know premierers this weekend but not when, the live game you know is up in the next few days but not when. i live in a country where all the good stuff happens at night so i also use the epg at day time to see what is up after 2am. what is coming next is also very useful but its also only part of the epg imho. also the stalker client caches the xml file for 24 hours anyway by default.
for example if ppl use a guide magazine or a online guide portal most ppl would not look as much to whats next as to whats coming up in the weekend or the next few days. and with the advanced epg search in kodi it is tbh a shame not to be able to use it.
you probably disagree with me but i think you guys forgot the combined usage of a epg, recording is a part of the package like all the other stuff, we can not use that no, but is that really argument enough to remove all the other functionality? a advanced electronic program guide reduced to what's next.
a 24 pull is of cause fine for some people and i can some the logic in leaving it as default, the only thing i hope is you take people like me and the points i made into consideration in the future and leave the other option open. that's my only plea really..
and that's just my 2 cents, i'm not complaining, you can of cause do what you want.
anyway keep up the good work! it is much appreciated.
best regards

Just an FYI I noticed on one of the channels - ABC News is actually pulling the data for ABC (network, not the news channel).
The guide is looking great! I agree with tuxen's sentiment above. Thanks for adding the browser option. I check that when some channels are showing no guide info. Awesome work!

wait u mean the 15 or 16 version.... does it have the new logo?.. and does it create a EPG xml file in the plugins folder in user data.. (after loading EPG sucessfully the first time)

For Kodi 15, windows, other than the name of the author, and the wrong version number, the logo shows, and the epg_xmltv file does appear. I'll test android later.
i just confirmed, it is the new version.. ignore what addon.xml says. that file doesnt get updated sometimes anyways when you upgrade from a previous version, which it doesnt need to really.
Thanks psycon, installed new versions on two seperate android boxes both running android 4.4.2
First box running Kodi 15.2 which already had pvr.stalker.nfps-android-arm_20151101 installed. Initial install of new 1.01 Kodi 15 file threw up a failed to install error. Installation attempt disabled exising pvr.stalker.nfps-android-arm_20151101 & failed to re-enable (dll error). Uninstalled addon, deleted pvr.stalker.nfps from addon_data in profile directory, & cleared Kodi cache in android box settings. Then installed new 1.01 Kodi 15 file which worked straight away (well after one authorisation error). PVR Addon showing as v0.8.4 on screen but has new logo & includes changes. No MAC address change or TV Guide/Channel settings were required)
Installed a fresh copy of Kodi 16.0-Beta4 on second box & installed the 1.01 Kodi 16 file which worked straght away (I had refreshed my MAC address) after one authorisation failed error. PVR Addon showing as v1.01 on screen with new logo & includes changes.
