Considering it's been like a month of spotty to absolutely no guide info, with no discussion whatsoever from any of the providers, it sure is beginning to feel that way. I know the staff here are in the same boat as the rest of us for the most part so I don’t harbour any ill will or anything, but when a multi million dollar enterprise makes no apparent progress on a seemingly simple issue for this long, it makes one begin to wonder. Do they not care, are they not competent enough to fix it, or are they waiting until they drum up enough new subscriber dough to pay the chinese programmers behind it all to implement a fix? How hard can setting up an epg be anyway, assuming you have a source or sources from which to pull the guide data? We know the source data is out there, so I just don't understand why there seems to be this huge disconnect on this.

Thanks Iyan..I'm confirming that changing the remote url to http://naps.epg.ninja fixed it..but for the record I had it set for special://temp for months and was working...so that's What I was saying on my previous post something changed lately and change it to the above rule..worked.
They're entirely different processes. You are now using a remote URL. You are no longer accessing the guide via the EPG NINJA updater. With that process, the guide was downloaded and stored on your device. special://temp is a physical reference to a location on your device where the epg_xmltv.xml guide file was downloaded and stored by the EPG NINJA updater. The new specification has nothing to do with the EPG NINJA updater or physical space on your device. Don't worry about the underlying mechanics of the two processes, but don't confuse the two processes either.
I appreciate that time and effort is spent resolving problems, but as mentioned above the information is out there, it must be 3 weeks no UK data, yet only last week Couch posted a link to UK Grabber addon which for a time solved the problem, Phycon posted he was back and made aware of the problem, 10 days later still no UK Channel listing, My question is why does it appear so easy to get the listings for other countries but your stuffed if you live in the UK?
What guide are you using and in what add-on/application? The EPG Ninja guide currently has UK listings as you can see in my post from yesterday.

I'm not the one to really point and say there is a problem. I was experiencing guide issues for about a month. I have learned not to mess with a working setup. Having said that, my guide didn't show UK channels then about two days ago they popped back up. I didn't touch a thing.
Tonight it doesn't show UK again. I was reading around and I see this post. I am pretty sure its not my setup but lately I get extra channels (posted in another thread) and now I'm getting PORN channels just appear. I see avov boxes are showing porn for no reason lately. ITs a problem.
I killed the epg updater and set stalker to use the URL but its NOT http://naps, so.... if you are reading this, use the correct URL http://nfps.epg.ninja. I know that was just a typo by "Macsol" but typos will trick off your setup. The machines don't like typos.
As a side effect I am hoping that turning off the epg updater stops the spawn of new channels especially the porn. The kids just cant un-see that stuff. I cant warp my kids over a bug like that. Having said that, I still did not get the UK channel listing back by changing stalker to use the remote url instead of the custom local location that that epg updater puts the xml file in. I really think the porn spawn and the extra channels I was seeing appear in my channel lineup was caused by the a bug in epg plugin and the way the channel list is stored in Kodi 16 maybe other versions as well.

The UK channels, hopefully, will be back in the next pull.
I offered the correct URL in an earlier post in the thread. People should encounter it first if they're reading through the thread sequentially, but you never know.

I really have not had time to work on this since I am having nightmares from a server migration at my job with a massive cable company that kinda sux! sooo, I disabled my epg updater addon , configurized my stalker to remote URL, I cleared guide data then restarted Kodi.
I am pulling data including UK!
I am
Kodi 16.1 with Stalker 1.0.8
Thanks ilan, my dyslexia knows no limits!

The server shenanigans don't sound like fun. I hope you survive the chaos unscathed
I'm glad you have the guide back, anyway. Take care...
Just my 2 cents but the guide has been flakey since the roll out of epg updater. I don't have the skills to say if it's a problem with windows,Kodi version or the updater itself, but I feel it functioned better when we had to update it manually.
