You can try to make the change mentioned above or wait for the next guide update, which will hopefully fix the issue.
is thare any spaces my format in notebook puts it like </programme></tv> not bottom to topHere'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.
