Hello, just wondering if anyone is having issues using the EPG updater on Kodi 15.2?
My settings look correct and the epg_xmltv.xml file did download and update but my kodi isn't reading it, my guide is blank.
Tried the direct Remote URL location also but didn't work either
C:\Users\******\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\pvr.stalker\epg_xmltv.xml :(

I enabled Hidden files in Kodi and navigated to the the file and was getting the error.

I've gone back to Provider XMLTV for now.

The Guide is loading except doesn't show the program description in the Channels section so I wanted to try this new way to see if the Guide would populate in the Guide section and the Channel sections.

Can you verify that you have cleared data, and on startup, you are seeing that the updater did start as evidenced by seeing a on-screen notification from it? Also, before starting Kodi, it might be best to delete that file first, and let the updater try to install a new one, vs. overwrite.

Unfortunately, I can't replicate the issue as I don't want to fall back to 15.2 again.

Ok, I'll give it a go tonight and let you know.
Do you want me to only clear the Guide data or the TV channel Data as well?
I did see the EPG Updater on-screen notification come up when I launched Kodi, so the Service is working.

When you do a data clear, both get cleared. Do both if you don't believe me. It just starts the connection fresh. Just make sure you manually remove the .xmltv BEFORE you start Kodi, and let the updater load a fresh version.

you get that connection lost error after you change from remote url to local path and choose the path... restarting kodi and clearing both guide and tv data and that error should go away

15.2

15.2/Stalker 0.8.4

Installed epg updater, xmltv only, local path, linked to the path given.

Was working great....yesterday i quit and restarted kodi half a dozen times as i was trying to troubleshoot another addon.

Now i got the guide but only for a handful of channels....most have no program or description.

Does the epg updater ban your ip if you connect too many times?
