Guide Is Blank

Yeah same issue. There is an error in the kodi.log (when using either Stalker PVR or Simple PVR) relating to the guide XML. It looks like there is something malformed within the downloaded XML which is stopping the guide from loading. If that is the case then the epg.ninja guys will need to fix that.

Psycon,
I downloaded the new epg, but it failed to load as well. The errors appear to be the same: 1. Parse failed to load XMLTV data 2. XMLTV Parse failed

Here's a fix for the blank guide:
open the epg_xmltv.xml file with an editor (like notepad++, etc) and scroll to bottom line and cursor up one line; you will be here:
</programme>
</tv>
Insert a new line between these two lines and add the following: </programme>
It should now look like this:
</programme>
</programme>
</tv>
I know, it seems counter intuitive, but it worked for me!
Save the file
Go to Kodi settings for TV and under guide, clear data (not for TV, just for guide!)
Guide will load up!
Cheers.

Fix not working for me on Windows setup
It works on my Kodi Android set-up. Before any changes, there were 33192 open programme tags, <programme>, and 33191 close programme tags, </programme>, so one tag was not closed within the file. Adding the final </programme> appears to be enough to make some systems happy, but not enough to satisfy all systems.
