New EPG Option -open discussion

I'm sorry to be a bother but I'm having problems, again. I figure I must have something set up wrong. I'm using a fire stick with kodi 17 and I'm using the built in stalker client with my iptv66 sub. I got it to work the first time (12/15-12/17)by using the http://yahyabell.com. 3:30 came had to reload, I cleared my guide data came back the same, clear pvr data, kodi cache everything I thought I could do aside from a fresh start. I decided to go to the github address and I got it to work for the 17th-19th by downloading the zip file and using the zip file as a local path. I did that again today but it tells me guide won't load this time. I tried the yahyabell.com again and it kept coming up blank. I have no idea what I'm missing or doing wrong. Any ideas? Thank you!

When this happens, more than likely the guide data has not been updated yet. Change the url and remove the raw.usercontent and get to the main github area for Viper and see when the last update was. If it says x hours ago, the guide should work. If it says 2 days ago, just wait for the update to happen.
 
click on the links you provided and see which on gets xml data,hint:the first one.

@viper
great job gettinthis together.
just a few observations..
your adding your external mc2xml pull via whatver method you choose(i forget).whay dont you add it to your your first mc2xml pull that diesnt have a - I?

regarding schedules direct
they also have a edit lineup option when you login where you can enable/disable channels that you want to download.
its where your lineups are listed,just click on edit.
this does not solve the issue of having to remap the channels but you can get away with only using a .ren file rather than a .chl file also.it will also speed up the download(not that it slow) as it only sends the channels you enabled rather than them all filtering on the receiving end.
also i always founf it best to use the schedules direct/microsoft i.xx.microsoft.com id rather than the name(its a pita but i redid them all for you know who) as sometimes your dealing with so many different providers(also webgrab) that conflicts happens and thats why u cant figure out why data for some channels does not display.
also sometimes nfps has crazy characters in their names(like non-breaking space).there were many channels that i had to tell "you know who" to tell nfps to fix them.its fine as long as you know but pita if you dont.
what i use to do is turn debugging on in kodi and restart it.the kodi.log will have the channels names as loaded from the server.i would copy the name directly from there(with spaces) on the channesl that i could never get to show into the .ren file and they would appear after that.

psyon banned me long time ago.lol.
timeblax send me a email saying it was lifted,thks to crazed for noticing it.


Welcome back! Nice to have you here again. I always found you to be knowledgeable and helpful...and thankfully you don't have the shit attitude that Psyc0n did. I already learned something about SD that I didn't know and that is to add some lineups on the SD site itself.

Cheers!
 
Just wanted to spend 20 seconds to take the time and say thank you. Got this going for my father, he's very appreciative! He was watching that bitch Judge Judy because he didn't know what the hell else was on, this got him going in a couple seconds. Cheers man!

Yes, this is a great guide. But if for any reason there is no guide data at some point, (such as it is in between updates) you can always use Ivue and at least you will know what is on. You needn't bother linking the channels or anything, just see what is on and then clode the guide and go back to your pvr and slick on that channel.

The most thorough guide data on Ivue seems to be Amy's List. Just an FYI as a backup.
 
Yes, it does. You need to disable IPTV Stalker Lite as you're configuring PVR Stalker client, though. You can't have both enabled at the same time.

In fact, I would disable both. Configure PVR Stalker client according to the directions below (other than the new address for the EPG). I would then shut down Kodi and do an IPTV Reset at your Donation Checker. Wait a good 15 minutes and then start Kodi and enable only PVR Stalker client.

I was able to get PVR stalker working but loads only 49 channels. Would that be issue on rocket side? Under Stalker Lite I get all channels.
 
Two things to check. On Kodi's home screen, bring up the menu and choose TV > Channels. Now, bring up the side menu. Make sure Group has All channels selected and not a subset.

If that is fine, reload the channels to see if it has an effect. System > Settings > TV > Channel > Clear data (Yes)

All channels were not selected in side menu. Thanks a lot. All not loading.

Awesome job!!!
 
Just wanted to say thanks to the guys for all there hard work in getting an EPG back up and running at such short notice, and for shearing there knowledge and experience with us.
It was a much appreciated Christmas gift .

Merry Christmas
From all of us down here in the Caribbean.
