New EPG Updater plugin

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have a fresh install of Jarvis RC3 and the updater throws an error on start up but I still get a guide. The guide is not grey and it is not colored it is mixed. On the same channel it will show some shows grey others colored. Might be something in RC3 the full guide I remember from RC2 wasn't mixed.
 
thats odd zyclops..

if you go into the plugins configuration you can turn on debugging
then turn on kodis debug logging
and restart kodi

then use the kodi log uploder (install it if you dont have it) and PM me a link to your logfile..
 
I was able to get this going, full color epg. However, I noticed that the US channels are very low quality (mostly blocky). I have another CPU that is exactly the same as this one that I am trying this EPG Updater, however it is running Kodi 15.2 and using the stock stalker client (configured for 11.iptvprivateserver.tv), and its quality is very good. I also tried, just for a test to install Kodi 16 on this same cpu and the quality of the US channels degraded as well.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Seems as though it has something to do with 11.iptvprivateserver.tv (used in Kodi 15.2) and portal.iptvprivateserver.tv/stalker_portal/c/index.html (used with Kodi 16)

Don't know what to say, however I just switched between both versions on both cpu's and the video quality on the cpu's that run Kodi 15.2 are much better than if they were running 16.

There was a time that when I re-installed Kodi15.2 on one of the cpu's, still had the address portal.iptvprivateserver.tv/stalker_portal/c/index.html in stalker client. Channels did load, however quality was very bad....then I just entered the 11.iptvprivateserver.tv address and the quality improved.

The address has nothing to do with your video quality. Those shortcuts used in Kodi 15 and lower just go to the same place... it's more direct to use the full url, in fact. There might be some differences in how video is handled between the Kodi versions though, as Kodi 16 is a significant change from Kodi 15 (at least under the hood.)
 
good to know. I just installed Kodi 15.2, running Stalker Client (stock program), using 11.iptvprivateserver.tv and for some reason now I get the full color EPG with good video quality channels. I'm going to do the same to my 2nd cpu as Kodi 16 seems to be just giving me grief since I installed it.

correction: I just get the grey, 1 hr behind epg now......guess this was too good to be true. Still staying on 15.2, seems a lot more stable and the guide being behind an hour is not a big deal.

Getting this error on startup on Kodi 16 RC3 on my pc, consistently, with the new service addon (old service addons uninstalled.) Running the built in client, with nfps client disabled:It appears that the epg.zip doesn't want to be expanded in pvr.stalker userdata folder. It's probably ok with the 'nfps' client though.
