How to integrate an EPG into PVR IPTV Simple Client using IPTV Stalker

Anybody know why this only works for me if I disable and reenable Live TV in System -> Settings? I have to do this every time to get the channels and EPG to get loaded. I am using 1.0.13.

Did you enable Cache in local storage for both m3u and epg? Also, there may be a timing issue internal to the m3u server, it may not be coming up as quickly as it should.

Thanks for the reply. I have both of them set NOT to cache to load storage.. Anyway to fix the timing issue or a direction to go toward to fix?
 
For more complete EPG info unzip and replace this file in /userdata/addon_data/plugin.stalker.video. Then reset the PVR database in settings>TV.General and reenable iptv simple client.

Thanks for this. just what i needed!

OK so i figured out how to use mc2xml. so we can grab our own xmltv data on demand, it can give up to 14 days worth of EPG info too

anyone care to do a tedious task and edit the attached files and append ":stalkerchannelname" to each line without quotes (append the names as they appear in the stalker channel list)

so they look something like

ABC:ABC New York
CBS:CBS New York
USA:USA Network East

This will be used to rename the channels in the xmltv data when its grabbed so it matches the stalker plugin and can populate the EPG

I may have time for that latter today or tomorrow.
 
Thx for the reply, but I am running 1.0.16 which is the newest. I have Kodi running on windows, but it won't load the stalker channels until I enable/disable live TV everytime when I start Kodi.

The load is not instantaneous. Try waiting a minute or two to see if it comes up. PVR in Kodi is a work-in-progress, and supposedly, there are improvements in Insengard. Remember, there are lots of moving parts with this implementation, and just getting an EPG working with NFPS is a huge bonus.

Thx for the reply. I opened a new Kodi and waited 10 min, but stalker channels did not load until I disabled/enabled Live TV in System -> Settings.
