New EPG Option -open discussion

This is a large step forward for the EPG. I have some questions though. If the info is cached why does the guide go through its start up routine? Is this in the stalker code or just how Kodi works ? Is it possible to skin the EPG I for one am color blind and the EPG looks quite odd to me. Not bitching just asking.
 
another issue 4 me

so I got it all working on my work PC, thanks to all, this is awesome.
I did new install of KODI 17, setup my credentials, channels populate but guide does not.
I am getting stalker could not load guide. channels work, come in NP.
tried clearing data, both ways, tried re-installing, nothing.
any help would be appreciated.

Does everyone loose their EPG at some time during the day? I seem to loose it everyday at around 3pm (mountain time), it does come back the next day. I have tried resetting kodi, clearing the data in the General and Guide tabs in Kodi TV-Settings, still no update.

In the Guide tab I have the Days to Display set to 3 days, and the Update Interval set to 705 Min. In the Stalker Client addon, I have the Guide preference set to XMLTV Only, Cache Guide Data enabled, the Cache time set to 48 hrs, Scope set to Remote URL and the Remote URL set to hxxp:/yahyabell.com (note: the 2 xx's in hxxp are actually tt).

Is this happening to everyone or is there something that I am doing wrong here?

Don't cache the guide data :). The guide is populated everyday at midnight GMT and has 48 hours worth.

I added the HD Channels yesterday. I'm going to work on it this weekend to start filling in things with generic data i.e. music, ABC News, etc.

Let me know if you guys think I should extend the guide for longer or create another guide that will have 1 or 2 weeks worth with a different url i.e. hxxp://yahyabell.com/big-guide or something.

Thanks,

I would think a second guide with a different URL would be the way to go. There are still quite a few folks who have limited RAM devices and the current 48 hour EPG works well for them. Bumping up data would cause lots of crashes for them when the guide's invoked.

So far the first guide has been working great. thanks for the hard work!

Viper buddy are you going to share your .chl and .ren files for the new HD channels lineup?
