epg updater test version (for IPTV stalker papiao)

[psycon]

there is a test vertions in epg.ninja/clairvoyance/testing

for pvr.stalker/nfps nothing has changed.

Added support for IPTV Stalker Papiao

all you need to do is have IPTV stalker set up so you can connect, then install the EPG updater and enable pvr.iptvsimple, the addon takes care of configuring everything for you, jsut go set your timezone in pvr.iptvsimple and restart kodi, dont worry about server adressses or any other setting, just the timezone.

any feedback would be appreciated

Does this only work in Kodi 16? I gave it a try with one box that has 15.2. I downloaded the test add-on...

1. Cleared the xml file from my disabled pvr stalker client
2. Enabled IPTV Stalker 10.0.0
3. Enabled the defaulted PVR IPTV Simple Client
4. Restarted Kodi

The PVR Simple Client remained unconfigured. No xml file was downloaded to the PVR Simple Client folder; however, the add-on successfully downloaded the xml file to the disabled PVR Stalker Client folder.

you need to set your timezone and "apply to all channels" in iptvsimple and restart kodi.. when it is defaulted there is no settings.xml.. the addon looks for this and does not run if its missing as it assumes you are not using it.

I'll give it another shot. I did set the timezone and chose apply to all. I would have thought setting the timezone would generate the settings.xml file w/in the Simple folder.

====== Edit =======

I checked and there is a settings.xml file in the Simple folder.

 

[ilan]

Same result. I noted that there was a settings.xml file first. Restarted Kodi, but no settings were added to the configuration and no epg.xml file was downloaded to the Simple folder.

I'll wait a bit to see what other testers find.

I am installing kodi on my tablet tonight, for a different route. I'll give this one a shot and let you know if I have many happiness.

 

[psycon]

im gonna go ahead and say all the addons on my repo are intended for kodi 16 and up, AKAIAC there is no reason not to update to 16..

Does it work with Kodi's built in pvr?

 

[ilan]

Yes, it works with Stalker Client.

 

[Jscraig]

Ok I'll try it. Do I delete the other updater?

 

[ilan]

I would. You can always reinstall if the need arises.

Does this work for android boxes(Mbox, MXII). using kodi 16.0 and when trying to install the zip file, error saying it failed to load zip file. same for all zipped files in the testing section of the Clairvoyance site.

the other files are OS specific... this should install on any though.. not seeing much love for this feature so may not bother with it.

It's unfortunate, we need some kind of epg to work with stalker papiao. I find it works much better than pvr stalker client or pvr stalker nfps. it was working fine with ivue until a few weeks ago.
can't seem to find anything else out there.

 

[psycon]

it does work.... you may need to uninstall the previous version before installing this test version.. still working on a bunch of other additions before this hits the repo
