New EPG Updater plugin

Now this morning I lost the TV short cut and I get unable to load channel message. I checked both the Stalker client and the EPG updater and they are both still enabled, I did check the Stalker client config, and the device ID and serial number have changed on there, I'm assuming the EPG updater does that be default, does that mean I need to do an IPTV reset ?? Or am I missing something again, it was working fine yesterday, please advise.
I did clear the data again, and also disabled and re-enabled FYI still getting the same unable able to load channels and no TV shortcut

The TV shortcut will not appear if the channels did not load. That is understandable.
Yes, you should do an IPTV Reset if the updater configured your PVR Stalker client and the channels will not load. I would also go to the updater's configuration and turn off the automatic configuration setting to prevent PVR Stalker client from being configured again.
do you guys not read the tutorials or others posts. if you clicked 'configure pvr stalker' in epgupdater you must do a iptvreset on your providers papaio/iptv66 webpage. as ilan I recommend you click it off again too also.

I did read the thread and have it set up exactly as described, but for some reason, when I check in the morning, there is no TV, I have to reboot for it to come back in.
And configuration is turned off, but what is on is, the scheduler, I'm assuming that is OK, the only info in the Updater is the Donation, Mac ID and the the proper portal I am using, nothing else.
Couldn't get epg after the 1.0.16 update.
Went to epg updater config page and only entered two settings.

1. Selected IPTV Portal as 1.iptv66.tv from selection (select the one that corresponds with your service)
2. In the epg download path, typed special://userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/
That's it…did not mess with the stalker client configuration at all.
Un-enabled tv…cleared data from tv and guide twice and restarted Kodi.
Guide appears fully.

Doe this happen to anyone else...
when Kodi loads it downloads the new EPG data at the same time as the PVR stalker is trying to load the file. The result being that one some channels have data. If I disable live TV and enable it again the TV guide loads fully.
Have edited the settings XML for the EPG updater to say update at 21:00.
is there a way to prevent it from updating the EPG file at Kodi start up and have it just run at the time specified in the XML file?

Just let it do its thing until you see the "Epg ninja is updated" icon on bottom right screen. It used to confuse me too

I started by deleting KODI in its entirety and reinstalling it. You can re-add your add-ons, back-up etc after you set up the EPG. I did not use EPG ninjas add ons..ONLY PVR STALKER and NOT NFPS.PVR STALKER
Go to NFPS and reset IPTV. Got to Kodi – System- Setting – Addons – My Addons – PVR Clients.
Go to PVR Stalker
General tab
Set Active Portal to 1
Set timeout to 15

Portal Keeps Changing
I am running Kodi 16.1 (under Windows 10). Each time my pc reboots or resets, it seems my portal on papiao changes. Is there some reason this happens? It gets frustrating having to first log into papiao to see which is my active portal then changing it. Especially when I am out of town and my family cannot watch TV until I can log into the pc and changing the settings. Is there a way to fix this? Or am I running the wrong version of something?
I am using Stalker Client 1.0.8 with Stalker EPG Updater 1.0.17 and as said above, Kodi 16.1 GIT: 20160424-C327C53

Ridgeguy had the right answer(btw thanks
),, dont use the updater, i had the same issue,,i had to change the log file. but the epg was still incomplete.
disable the updater by going to : my addons >services>stalker EPG Updater, and disable it. then follow what the post before yours says, I just did it and mine works fine, if not go to settings>tv>general, and hit clear data and the channels should load as long as all your other pvr settings(signature, id's, and serial are correct).

I run Kodi 15.2 and Stalker 0.8.4 with the EPG Updater on a minix box and I too couldn't get the guide to load.
Had to disable it and download the file direct….it's a ashamed since i quite liked the EPG updater…..so what now?
Does this mean no more EPG Updater for us Kodi 15.2 folks?
i had an issue with the updater but you dont need to download the guide, im not sure if its an issue or if its being worked on until its sorted just remove "http://nfps.epg.ninja" and replace that link with this link "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psyc0n/epgninja/master/guide.xml" clear guide data and startup live tv the channels will auto load along with all the colours in the guide grid and so on. the link will auto update as and when the epg.xml is updated by the ninja team
