Sweet, thanks Psycon!

Shipwreck,
It's looks as though this suggestion worked for you to get rid of all the channels you don't want. Could you maybe post a step by step of how you did it (noob here). I too want to get rid of all the channels I don't use and hiding them one by one is taking forever. Thanks!

I'm not quite sure if what I did is what caused my EPG to work fast but now my EPG pulls up as soon as I click on it. Here is what I did.

System-->LiveTV-->EPG
- Changed "Days to Display in the EPG" = 1 day
- Reset the EPG database
- Click on the OK button

System-->Add-ons-->Enabled Add-ons-->Video Add-ons-->IPTV Stalker-->Configure (on G Box, click on the menu button; the button with the blue lines)
- Navigate to the M3U Server Tab
-- Click Stop & let it do its thing
-- Click Start & let it do its thing
- Click on the OK button

Shutdown Kodi and restart

Worked like a charm! I went back in and reset the days to display in the EPG back to 3 days and restarted and the EPG still loads immediately. Hope this works for you both!

Thanks Tazz, I will try and report back.
 
Much thanks Psycon & thanks for everything!! This is awesome!

I have my EPG time shift set to -1.00 because I'm in Central Standard Time. Do I need to change this for the new url?

Yeah it worked awesome Taz, Psycon was a huge help even though I got kind of annoying with questions at a point LOL.... I'm just getting back into coding after many years of being out of it and am a little more rusty then I thought I'd be... Use to code my own stuff for satellite back in those days and it's similar but a little different with different types of code for different things... But I'm picking it back up quicker the more I work on it...
I noticed Psycon posted the link to his git for the english only channels... LOL I had just finished mine and was about to post it and saw Psycon was quicker on the trigger with his LOL. I'll do up a step by step on how I did it and post it later for those who want to do it. My method so far isn't as fast as I believe Psycon's is as I mentioned I'm still a bit rusty.. But will post later what I have so far and update it as I progress and get it more efficient.

Loving this community!! So many awesome people I'm relearning from; Psycon, Dara, Date, etc.....
 
Thank you so much dara for this guide. I followed it step by step and it worked !!!

Just on Step 7, had to close and open Kodi and also disable and enable the PVR IPTV Simple Client and I can now see the channels along with EPG under Live TV.

And thank you to pocpoc also for the IPTV Stalker add-on.
 
Try purging and reloading. I changed the english version to only pull 1 day of data.. see if that help.

If it doesnt. I suggest using Kodi 15 instead as it seems to load the EPG much faster regardless of which file you use.

Which version of 15 is more stable Psycon, alpha 1 or 2?

I am using M8, with OpenElec 5.0.8, Stalker video add on 1.18 and Stalker client 0.6b Middleware, the Channels are loaded (651); the EPG is (73) channels.

The time is on the Left of the screen, top to bottom; there a way to get the guide times across the top of the screen, (running from left to right on top of the screen.).

I think you would be getting more channels on the EPG if you are using the IPTV Stalker (1.18) with IPTV PVR Simple which this thread is about. If you are looking for a 'grid' view, on the left side menu from Kodi, select 'Guide'. The "Stalker client 0.6b Middleware" implies you are using the PVR.Stalker, so if you are using that, I can see why you are only getting 73 channels. You don't actually install that Middleware on your system, you and everyone else is getting a feed from the middleware that is installed on their servers.
