New EPG Updater plugin

[irimius]

Thanks Much for your quick response. I was suspicious of that. I have other MX3's with 2gb of RAM, that I haven't tried yet. I wanted to get this one up and running first. My MX3's running Kodi 15.2 with "preferred Provider" guide don't have this locking up issue. Where do I find the alternative skins that you suggest?

One can spend hours each day studying this technology and still only scratch the surface! Good thing I'm retired, because for the last few days I have spent so much time studying this stuff that I can't even get household chores done around here! I'll give your Clairvoyant build a try as soon as I get ready to get into it. Thanks again for your quick response. I really appreciate it.

Send him a debug log of the stalker client or the epg updater addon?

Either. If you have the settings correct, you should be getting the color guide. One other thing, you can try setting the cache length to 24, which is a smaller guide, only titles and english only, and see if you can get color.

I'll give that a try before I enable debugging on kodi

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

Are you able to help with my situation. I have done all the steps Dara has recommended and still not having a full coloured guide

 

[psycon]

you have it set to provider preferred.. that is why you are not getting the color guide.. that is why your low ram device is crashing. i believe i already said that

You need to set it to "XMLTV only" and as before delete the epg.xml file and clear data.

I just tried that. Set it to xmltv only cache to 24. Disabled live to cleared data on guide. Deleted the epg file relaunched kodi enabled stalker client and live tv. Still no full coloured menu. I'm running a tronsmart vega s95

What skin are you using? If worse comes to worse, send Psycon a debug log. He'll be able to determine what's going on.

I'm usin aeon nox. I've got my debug just not sure how to send him it

Just paste the results into a PM to him. The log is a text file so it is a simple copy & paste.

 

[Tyler09876]

i just tried, my log file is 17000 letters and only 5000 is the max.

 

[psycon]

eeek no.. my eyes are bleeding.. paste it to pastebin and send me the link... or jsut use the kodi log uploader addon and send me the link it generates so much easier

 

[Tyler09876]

I've sent you a pastebin link. The kodi uploader is currently down

 

[crazed 9.6]

eeek no.. my eyes are bleeding..

lol, ooops...

 

[adyf]

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

What skin are you using, aeon nox? Latest version doesn't support colours in kodi 16.

Unless Psycon finds something to the contrary, it does sound like the skin may be at issue. If you're set to XMLTV only, you don't see "you're using the wrong epg" in the information area, the correct epg is loading but the skin is not supporting colors.
