You dont touch pvr.stalkers settings.. instead you install and configure the epg updater addon from the ********** repo

Steps

1. install the epg updater service addon from the ********** repo at http://**********
2. Configure the service.stalkerEPGUpdater addon with your donation number, MAC, and choose your iptv port as shown on papiao or 66, and do an iptv reset on the site
3. Enable "configure pvr stalker"
4. go to settings >TV > Clear data, and restart Kodi
5. go to settings > TV and choose enable. if it says no pvr addon enabled, enable "stalker client"
6. thats it, your channels should be loading.


If your pvr.stalker is already configured. ensure you change the epg location to special://temp/epg_xmltv.xml . you can also set a custom download path in the epg updater addon to use a folder of your choosing but the filename will be the same epg_xmltv.xml

Hello

I'm running Kodi 16.0 RC 2. Everything is running ok with the pre installed pvr. But I notice if I leave the settings to XMLTV Only I get an error "Can't Load Guide" If I change it to Prefer XMLTV it'll load. But it won't load the full color guide and I'm not able to switch channels using the EPG. I can switch just fine on the channel list but no go on EPG. Also I've double checked my guide URL to make sure all is input properly and all looks to be in place. Also I've tried using the nfps stalker client and none of them will load. The arm version j installs, but won't start. Same with I686 version j . Any input would be helpful. Thanks

Code: 
https://iks66.tv/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:7x:xx:xx:xx/donation/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/fname/NFPSF1
https://papiao.is/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:7x:xx:xx:xx/donation/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/fname/NFPSF1
rocket uses papiao one,change NFPSF1 to whatever epg you want.

Thanks for this clear and easy to understand guide. The only confusion I have is with regards to the XMLTV - Scope - Remote URL field. Do we replace the xxxxxxx after '/donation/' with our own donation no? For example, lets say these were my credentials (fictitious):

Mac address: 00:1A:78:12:3A:4B
Donation No: 123456789876​

Would this URL be correct for NFPS?

Code: 
https://papaio.tv/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:12:3A:4B/donation/123456789876/fname/NFPSF3

I have tried it with this formula but I get 'Unable to load Guide' error.

I don't see any error in my URL. My donation is from papiao. I've got the same setup on another box running 15.2 with no issues. I'm at a loss as to why I can't load either nfps stalker clients. The only one I can get to work is the pre installed one. But still no EPG. If I change back to xmltv only I get cant load error still and no guide at all.

Thanks for confirming Blackbear. Like MasonStorm45 i'm also having problems with the XML TV guide loading. I get "Unable to load Guide." error. Have tried disabling Live TV and deleting the folllowing files:

cache_xmltv.xml in addon_data/pvr.stalker
All the tv.db and epg.db files in /Databases

Have made sure I cleared all Live TV data and restarted Kodi then Re-enabled PVR Stalker and Live TV. Still getting "Unable to load Guide." :(

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

put kodi in debg and look in your log file for the papaio link and go to it in a browser, it will either download, or you will get an error message

If the papiao link you are referring to is the same as the one that should be in this format:

Code: 
https://papaio.tv/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:12:3A:4B/donation/123456789876/fname/NFPSF3

then the link does not work. What could be wrong? I've made sure the format of the URL is correct and Blackbear confirmed this is correct earlier in this thread. :/

The debug log just appends the following onto the above URL:

Code: 
|User-Agent=Mozilla%2f5.0%20%28QtEmbedded%3b%20U%3b%20Linux%3b%20C%29%20AppleWebKit%2f533.3%20%28KHTML%2c%20like%20Gecko%29%20MAG200%20stbapp%20ver%3a%202%20rev%3a%20250%20Safari%2f533.3&Connection-Timeout=15

OK, I have found the source of the problem after some meticulous examination :D

There is a typo in the URL given in the guide above.

The URL should be https://papiao.tv/ and not https://papaio.tv/main/EPG......

Please update the original post to prevent further confusion by members.

Thanks!

Has anyone been able to get the NFPS stalker client to work at all? Is anyone else having issues with switching channels within the pre installed client?

I haven't had any issue with the preinstalled client, other than no color in the guide (extremely minor issue). You do need to set up the serial number, device ids and signature. Follow the instructions explicitly.

Yea no issues getting it to work Just no color in the guide and not able to switch channels in the EPG. I can switch using the channel list though.

To switch channels in the guide, you click switch when you get the description, or you can set up the default selection action in the TV settings>Guide to "Switch to channel"
