New EPG Option -open discussion
- Thread starter viper8690
- Start date
It appears to only partially load. The client times out waiting for it. We'll see how it does after the next update.
Kodi 17 just loaded automatically on my Nvidia Shield this morning.. Had to play around with cache settings on PVR Stalker add-on and clear all existing cache, then voila, guide loaded as expected.
Just trying to get used to the new Kodi 17 gui. - cosmetic changes, etc.

It would help in letting us know what "playing" around settings you did. Do we cache guide data or not. I was told not to.
Stalker EPG not loading after KODI update from v16 to v17 via Android PlayStore today
Hello Friends:
I hope you're all well.
I stumbled into the following issue today and was wondering if anyone else has experienced it.
Kodi was updated today from v16 (final) to v17.x (v17.0 Git:20170201-a10c504) on my Android box (Marshmallow), via the PlayStore. It was updated just like all other updatable apps were.
After the update completed, I launched Kodi and let it complete it's little first-run "Upgrading plugins ..." task. All was well. I simply needed to re-enable the Stalker Client (perhaps it was updated, too, as part of the "first-run" task). The Stalker Client version is now v2.8.3 (I don't recall what it was before the Kodi update). That works, too, thankfully but for this:
The EPG no longer loads. My stalker XML configuration file hasn't changed, so the http://yahyabell.com URL is still in effect.
The message is: Stalker Client: Unable To Load Guide
Has anyone else noticed this after upgrading to Kodi 17? I'm scratching my head.
Thank you!

look in your kodi log file for some hints.(you may have to turn debugging on)
it should show when it tries to connect to that address.

Thank you. I just FTP'ed it over and am grep(1)ing through it now.
So far I only have the following which may indicate that -- as you mentioned -- I have to enable debugging ...

dont see where it tries connecting to server(yahyabell),it should be somewhere before that or is it ok?
parse failed could be because it didnt actually connect to the server.
try pinging the yahyabell adress and replace it with the actual ip.

I get the following stanza repeated about five times. Note below that URL, http://epg.example.com/, is simply a subdomain I created from my personal domain (which is not actually "example.com" ), so that I didn't have to remember the lengthy real URL. But as seen right after, the "effective" URL was correctly resolved. For completeness, however, I did try directly setting the underlying URL (well, actually, http://yahyabell.com) in one of my Portals (portal-5 and then selected that), but that did not resolve the issue. Worth a shot, but it wasn't the problem.

This repeats about four more times, before moving on. Maybe this sheds some light for others. I will keep poking around.

I suppose I could try https://raw.githubusercontent.com/viper8690/epg/master/guide.xml in the settings.xml file (and not even yahyabell.com URL), or the equivalent IP address, as you / @Blackbear199 suggested.
i see this as the problem..
seems to connect fine..

Hi @Blackbear199 ...
Thanks again! ...
Correct, I'm inclined to agree because here is the debug log with the underlying URL (at the deepest level -- with no indirections) used just now (same as before and with the same issue as you just commented) ...
