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!
 
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!

It looks like I might be the only one having issues so I'm going to start from scratch and see if that helps. My minions go to bed in an hour but if there's any suggestions before then I greatly appreciate it! 💞
 
Editing isn't working. It was supposed to convey...

The yahyabell address is redirecting to the github address. I don't know if K17 is up to task, so try using the github address as the remote instead of the yahyabell address.
 
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.

If you have it set-up correctly (XMLTV Only or Prefer XMLTV) and you have guide information, it is working for you. However, you may need to reload the guide to access the latest data pull.

System > Settings > TV > Guide > Clear Data (Yes)
Ive always found that clearing data dosent help, just make sure all your i's are dotted and t's are crossed and it should work. most things on here dont work unless you triple check your settings.
also if it works and dosnt the next day, dont mess with it. its probably not your end or a bad connection. check your routers, etc.
 
Just a quick question, when signing up for Schedules Direct which option for "Software You Use:" There's like Standalone: and bunch of options to choose from ADTV_EPG to xtvd_tools then you got JSON, MythTV and XMLTV which one to choose?

It really doesn't matter which item you pick when you sign up. SD is just trying to get an idea about which app is popular or not. You can use whatever you want. I use mc2xml and it's not an option on the SD site. But it works fine. I think I selected standalone xmltv when I signed up.

A reload doesn't work if the guide is improperly configured, but if a dat reload is all that is necessary, it works nearly every time.

I think I selected standalone XMLTV as well, but found the API works with MC2XMLTV quite well, too.
 
I don't know if this the right place for this but some time back i downloaded Kodi 17 APP from microshoft on a pc
it copied all my addons from 16.1 that was on there and installed it self along my 16.1 all work fine for both kodis except the guide on 17
ninja at that time and now vipers and ohh my GOD trouble freeeeeeee thank you thank you i am sour you remember the days
this is not of importance to me at this time but as we move to 17 we should look at this. Or is it me only? yes my 16.1'S work great
and you all have a fantastic weekend

The guide does work with Krypton. When you copied your addons, if you copied all of them then you also got the pvr from 16 and that COULD be the problem. Check to see if that is the case and if so, delete that whole folder and restart KODI. See if that works for you.
 
Id been resigned to playing 'channel surfing potluck' since there was no guide….no way of telling when the EPL games etc were on.

This thing worked instantly for me…..now Ive got a guide…..granted it's not properly synced…..a program that says it will start at 5pm will actually start at 6pm….but i can live with that.

I run 0.8.4 on Kodi 15.2 on a Minix Box….just wanted to say a big thanks to Viper….you rock, Sir.

I run an install on a Minix box and had the same problem. Go into system settings and change your time to UTC for where you live. I'm in EST so I changed to UTC -5. If you are unsure of your time zone, ask Google what is the where you live in UTC and use that.

If the guide works one day and not the next, the FIRST thing to do would be to look at github and see when was the last update. If the guide was updated 2 days ago, just keep checking until you see that it says updated an hour ago (or so) and then clear the guide data and it will repopulate. People should not be messing with their networks over a something as trivial as an epg. Just my opinion.
 
Ilan there is like 6 choices for JSON. I'm asking because I was thinking about getting my own epg with channels that I only watch, but I think that's a bit out of my league I was looking for some guides on how to do it but cant find anything. It would be nice if someone could come up with an easy how to.

I did exactly what you are asking for even before Viper got his guide going. Check it out and see if it helps you figure it all out.
