Ok, this is what i did to fix KODI STOCK PVR STALKER CLIENT to work with EPG UPDATER VERSION 1.0.16.
I like better how pvr stalker client works because it display the quide info instead of only have the channels with PAPIAO STALKER.

I was having problems with my PVR STALKER CLIENT ON KODI 16.1 RC2. Running my IPTV ROCKET SERVICE. Was ok before the update of EPG UPDATER TO 1.0.16.
After the update i could not load the guide from EPG UPDATER but the channels works. I found after many trial and error settings on the EPG UPDATER and the PVR STALKER CLIENT came up wiht this.

This tutorial is assuming that you have PVR STALKER CLIENT working but cant load the full guide info from EPG UPDATER 1.0.16. I have ROCKET SERVICE and will explain the procedure using the ROCKET SERVICE ON IOS AND ANDROID PLATFORMS.

IOS PLATFORM

1. We gonna need a way to enter SYSTEM FILES on your Idevice, i recommend IFILE. And enter to this files;

VAR/MOBILE/LIBRARY/PREFERENCES/KODI/USERDATA/ADDON_DATA/PVR.STALKER
----- We gonna check if there is any (epg_xmlt.xml) file and delete it
This is where eventualy the EPG UPDATER is gonna save the XMLTV file needed for the channels info. If you dont find any xmltv file dont worry.

2. Lets configure the with the correct Epg Download Path, EPG UPDATER 1.0.16

--- In the configure window of EPG UPDATER you gonna change the default epg download path (special://temp) to;

special://userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/ --- exactly as i wrote it---

3. Now we go and configure stock Pvr Stalker Client;
Before i already mention that you should have the PVR STALKER CLIENT working on Rocket service. just in case this is how have mine working.

3. Almost done. Now clear Channel and Guide data on Kodi SYSTEM-SETTINGS-TV- GENERAL- GUIDE
4. Restart KODI and let it do the rest. you should have PVR Stalker Client working with full guide info.



FOR ANDROID DEVICES

FOLLOW THE SAME TUTORIAL ABOVE
Only step #1 is different is how to find any old XMLTV file to delete in system files of your ANDROID DEVICE

I recommend ES FILES Manager for that
once you open ES FILE MANAGER make sure in TOOLS toggle the show hidden files active
Then search the word KODI, after search finish choose the folder name (.kodi) (the one thats looks transparent)

After search KODI this is the sequence
.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/ then delete any epg_ xmltv file if you have one, Remember this is where the new EPG UPTADER FILE WILL BE.

After you make sure there is no old XMLTV file continue with the step #2 to #4

I hope this tutorial Help you Guys, Please let me know if that works for you or if you had any other questions, fell free.

excuse my writing, this is the first time i post a tutorial.

I don't see how this can be working if you have the scope for xmltv as remote, yet you point the addon to a LOCAL directory and file. Didn't you mean to say the scope should be LOCAL?

DONT ASSUME. Just tried and let me know. Thats how all my 4 devices are working Full guide info

1 IPHONE
1 IPAD
1 AMAZON FIRE TV
1 NVIDIA SHIELD TV
 
Well updated to the new ninja updater and filled in all the fields, mac, donation.

Worked fine until last night then noticed UK channels disappeared from the guide again.

Running Kodi 16,
Stalker epg updater 1.0.16
Iptv66.tv portal 2
Not ticked configure simple client
Not ticked configure pvr stalker
Ticked enable scheduler
Running stalker client 1.0.3

Time out 120 seconds
Portal 1 has mac and server address filled correctly
Login OK
Password ok
Guide: xmltv only
Cache guide data: checked
Cache hours: 24
Scope: local path (automatically)

Went into live tv. Cleared tv cache then cleared the guide cache.

Is it just not pulling the uk data epg guide?

Or am I missing something?
 
If the guide is downloading and you are only missing some channels, it is usually a sign that nothing is wrong at your end. It could be the supplier of British channel information was unavailable, so the guide was could not incorporate that information. There is also the chance there was an issue with the epg.ninja server.

I posted in another thread but never got any viable response. Since posting, I have put both addons at default, rebooted, and entered in the relevant info a couple times. Now the message I get is "Failed to connect to server." Here's what I posted:

Could someone help me with a resistant subscription? I have everything set up correctly for IKS66 on Jarvis and EPG Updater 1.0.16, and was getting both a correct connection and the guide. I restarted the box to do some other stuff and now I'm getting Authorization Failed. I know everything was set up correctly because the connections worked. Since I've already reset the IPTV twice today, I can't reset it again. I tried changing the MAC then changed it back, but still no joy. Also, I'm unclear when to use 2.iptv66 and 1iptv66.

I sorted out the issue. I have no idea what the issue was and/or why it stopped working in the first place. I just kept re-configuring, changed the MAC, changed it back. Thankfully, even though it was the 3rd time today, I was also able to do the IPTV Reset again. 1.iptv66 was the portal that worked for me.
 
its usually better to wait a while and try again instead of messing around with the settings and get even more confused and frustrated.
chances are if it worked last night it will work again.

the portal 2.iptv66 epgupdater writes to the stalker client was down a few mins ago but is back up now.
i get auth fail too trying to use it though, i have no idea if you need to be assigned to it or its under maintenance.

I dont know what it says under portal when you login with your route, but if it says 66.iptv66.tv you should use 1.iptv66 in epgupdater as these 2 are the same server.

i wonder what it says under portal if you need to be assigned to 2.iptv66 to use it..
maybe they have it for redundancy, so in the future when they are doing larger maintenance on server1 they point 66.iptv66.tv to server2 and vice versa.
thought it was only 'nfps' users that got 'new' portals, apparently not. it could also have been there for a while. i can only guess lol.

maybe some kind person with more knowledge about this can enlighten us heh. ;)

Does installing the EPG Updater, give all the channel guides, I noticed in the Youtube video, the guy only has some channels showing up, which is what I have now, before I install the Updater, please advise if it gives you the guide on all channels available

International channels have been dropped for the most part, but there are plans to bring them back at some point. As for the US and UK channels, they're there as long as there isn't an issue with the pull or the server.

OK, so it is better then to install the EPG updater, then to have the stalker client with the proper URL for EPG, you are saying the updater will keep the proper URL in the stalker client EPG URL
 
what proper url? there is no url anymore or that I know of.
the epgupdater downloads the guide and unzips it, you then point the stalker client to the proper location of the unzipped .xml file.

from: http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?...-s-included-pvr-stalker-client-with-epg-ninja
If your pvr.stalker is already configured. ensure you change the epg location to special://temp/epg_xmltv.xml . you can also set a custom download path in the epg updater addon to use a folder of your choosing but the filename will be the same epg_xmltv.xml
