Hey, of you like the ********** xml file, dont forget to throw a little love our way with the donate button on Http://**********

Install the ********** repo from http://********** then install the epg updater service addon from the repo and restart kodi

This service addon will update your epg cache or local file independantly of which stalker client you use.. it works for both pvr.stalker and pvr.stalker.nfps


Note.. Windows users will get a error with the current version.. Windows users (or any users really) need to get version 1.0.5 from **********/clairvoyance/testing.. no need to other users to manually install this, it will update itself when we add it to the repo.


for instructions see the appropriate how to threads
If you already have stalker installed and working, check out this video walkthrough
Code: 
https://youtu.be/cyVWYjCqWqg

-------------
If you get any errors the only way I can help debug is if you send me a log file - Google how to do so if you dont know how to run on debugging
go into the plugins configuration screen and you can turn on debugging then turn on kodis debug logging
restart kodi
then use the kodi log uploder (install it if you dont have it) and PM me a link to your logfile.

Seems like the maintenance at papiao is taking longer than I hoped.. So i have put up a TEMPORARY link so you can get the full epg.

for pvr.stalker users set your epg link to xxxx- set cache time to 12 hours and make sure cache is enabled.

for pvr.stalker.nfps users install the service.epg.ninja.updater.zip from http://epg.ninja/clairvoyance it will refresh the epg every time you open kodi..
Click to expand...

So in my 0.8.4 PVRStalker (StalkerClient 0.8.4 running on Kodi15.2) under RemoteURL use "xxxx" ???

Where do I set the cache time to 12? Where do I enable cache? Is that in SETTINGS - PVR SERVICE or some it will say TV or LIVE-TV?? I'm in Arctic Zephyr Skin

Thanks for all your good information and all the work you do my question has to do with the previous question in the older version of 0.8.4 Kodi 15, 2 since it does not have the cash an option that would just mean we cannot use the temporary link? And we'll have to wait for the original link to get updated? In other words once the EPG link is updated by papiao it will work correct? Hope to hear an answer soon and once again thanks for all your help

correct. 15.2 does not use caching so cannot be used with this.. and i will not post a direct link to the file as all kodi clients would hit the server endlessley non stop bringing the server to a halt.. its a bug in kodi.. this is why we use the auth page, as a gatekeeper to slow it down.

You should really upgrade to kodi 16.. neither dvbken or I will be tailoring anything towards kodi 15 anymore. its time to upgrade.

If you are using kodi 15 with 0.8.4 just set Guide Preference to "Prefer Provider" and leave Scope remote url blank. You will still get a guide, but just not as pretty. Once everything is fixed go back to using proper url for guide from ninja.

What's the main advantage of doing this as of now my epg works it's on provider since I read that the epg was down. I still get info though just want to make sure what the difference is

Hi there, thanks for all the hard work in providing this for the community.

I noticed a slight error in the code for the inbuilt client version of the service.epg.ninja.updater addon.

After installation, I was getting a DLL error telling me that Kodi couldn't load PVR Stalker NFPS, but since I am on the inbuilt Stalker Client I thought that it was a bit odd that it was referencing the NFPS addon. So I took a look at the code in service.py for the service.epg.ninja.updater addon and changed line 36 from

Code: 
json = '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.SetAddonEnabled","params":{"addonid":"[B]pvr.stalker.[COLOR=#b22222]nfps[/COLOR][/B]","enabled":true},"id":1}

to,

Code: 
json = '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.SetAddonEnabled","params":{"addonid":"[B]pvr.stalker[/B]","enabled":true},"id":1}


This seemed to do the trick and I got no more error.

I have uploaded my modified service.py file here
Code:

for anyone that wants it...

Thanks

The avov tutorial (well all tutorials) don't have the install of the service add-on included as a step, but I guess psycon and ken will just build that into the update.

it works fine.. device platform shoudlnt matter the code is universal. i dont have all those boxes to test though..

not going to update the turorial yet,, papaiao links are supposed to be turned on soon so ppl should follow that for now.. it still gives server EPG.

the dev who made me the epg updater is back to the drawing board to make some improvements i suggested... and well release a single version good for both stalker clients... i would also like to have it configure kodis built in stalker client for you in a much easier way.... well see.
