New EPG Updater plugin

I had the same issue on my Minix. I deleted xmltv, set the -1 hour in the updater, cleared cache, deleted epg.db but didn't clear data as I don't want to have to go through and hide 1400 channels again...ever. Guide was off by an hour so I simply took the version 1.0.1 from my windows box and pasted it into the addons on the Minix, restarted and the guide was fully functional and times correct. (I had tried versions 1.0.4 and 1.0.5). So it's working for me this way and I won't be changing it.
I do appreciate having this guide, and the work that went into it... just don't understand why the service can't be standardized from NFPS; they don't seem to have any business sense at all!
I'm running kodi 16 using the stalker client. everything is working and have the epg updater installed and local path to retrieve the epg xml file in the stalker client add-on. the guide works but its not in full colour how do i fix this?
For Kodi 16, set Preference to "XMLTV Only", Cache Guide Data to "on" and time to 72 hours.
In XMLTV, set Scope to "Remote URL", and type a 1 in the Remote URL.
You don't need to set the local path to point to the file.

I finally gave up on fixing the -1 hour off. I just cannot fix it at all, I tried everything. I just manually changed my time on my Shield. The time is wrong but the guide is right. I don't understand why there isn't a simple fix?
It should, as long as you have the "epg updater service" properly installed. You may need to clear out the old cache file though, or wait until the service updates that file.
to properly install it i just installed it via the repo? how would i clear out the old cache file?
thanks
The file is in the userdata/addons_data/pvr.stalker folder.
You may need to read up on the location of the "special" directory by googling "userdata kodi"
Delete the file named epg_xmltv.xml. Best way to do this is through the file manager in Kodi, but some may not see "hidden files and directories" if not set in the Appearance Settings for your skin.

I cleared the cache and set it to 72. It still doesn't give me the full coloured guide
In addition of getting rid of that file, you also have to do a "clear data" to get rid of the old data in the EPG database. In the TV settings, disable TV, clear data, shut down Kodi, then start up Kodi, then enable TV, and let us know if you get the color guide. I'm assuming that you had followed the instructions I posted earlier.
HI!
This is directed to Psycon, but I don't have enough posts to message him. Sorry if this is not the correct place to post this.
I am using a MX3 box with a ****** donation for tv. When using the imbedded Stalker, with "preferred Provider" epg, Kodi16 locks up when the guide loading box gets to the end, stopping at TDN Mexico. This doesn't happen on the initial run, but happens on subsequent start-ups. Clearing the cache, and restarting Kodi gets it working. I tried using XTML and loading the long guide url address, which corrupted Kodi, requiring removal and reloading.
I tried using the NFPS Stalker version, with the epg.ninja updater add-on, and see no difference from the "preferred Provider" epg, and Kodi still locks up at the end of the program guide load at TDN Mexico. I get the message at the bottom of the screen that if I am seeing this message, I'm using the wrong epg, and should go to epg.ninja. I see this same message at the bottom of Timeruuu's screen in his youtube tutorial. How do I get this to work?
Thanks Much for your attention.

your box does not have enough ram, that is why it is crashing.. use XMLTV only.... not preferred provider..
use a more efficient skin like mimic or arctic zephyr.
end of the day, get a box with 2 gigs of ram and you wont have these issues

I disabled tv, cleared data. Closed kodi and deleted the epg xml file in the pvr.stalker folder. Relaunched kodi and enabled both stalker client and live tv. Not getting the coloured menu still
You may want to send psycon a debug log for this then. See the op for help with that.
