godasassin.. we are not here to spoon feed people. a simple google for kodi or how to install a kodi repo would have saved you a lot of trouble.

garmin/acidjesus- it doeswork with 15, see the how to thread.

Followed instructions & epg all good with updater on Kodi 15.2, except behind time 1 hour (am in UK). How do I solve this?

Hi Psycon,

I think there is a small error in the code:

if not os.path.exists(addonFolderNfps):
downloadNfps = False
if not os.path.exists(addonFolderStalker):
downloadNfps = False

Should be:

if not os.path.exists(addonFolderNfps):
downloadNfps = False
if not os.path.exists(addonFolderStalker):
downloadStalker = False

Thanks for the hard work :)

correct. 15.2 does not use caching so cannot be used with this.. and i will not post a direct link to the file as all kodi clients would hit the server endlessley non stop bringing the server to a halt.. its a bug in kodi.. this is why we use the auth page, as a gatekeeper to slow it down.

You should really upgrade to kodi 16.. neither dvbken or I will be tailoring anything towards kodi 15 anymore. its time to upgrade.

Please note : Some android boxes like the AVOV Vixo 2 does not allow upgrades to some of its Apps as there is no installer. The Apps are provided only through the MickeyHop App Store and if the App or upgrade isn't there, you can't install it. This box has no manual installer to allow loading or installing using a USB flash drive, download or other source like Google Playstore, Amazon Apps or any other App source. As for Mickeyhop, it appears to be focused on adding game Apps and other Apps which I could easily live without. Until their technical support adds Kodi 16.0 App to the Mickeyhop Store, it can't be upgraded and the EPG will not be an option until it is.
 
Psycon, in instructions here [CODEhttp://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?13091-How-To-Set-up-Kodi-s-included-pvr-stalker-client-with-epg-ninja][/CODE] you said 9b) (Kodi 15 users only) - set remote url in pvr.stalker config to special://userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/epg_xmltv.xml it should be "Local Path" instead of "Remote Url" it worked for me the first time after I changed it from remote to local.

I saw a post by blackbear that said what you just did....tried it via local path and it worked.
 
for instructions see the appropriate how to thread
where the heck is this, couldn't find any stickies or anything obvious. the avov guide posted here says nothing but how to install the stalker nfps?
a link would have been appropriate.

EDIT: never mind: I had a fly in my eye.
its not very informative though, what do I set cache time to: just 12? guess i'm just gonna install it and play around.
EDIT EDIT: forget it I just woke up, my brain was in formaldehyde for recharging..
looking at the addon, it obvius lol.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: thumbs up for the advancements in the addon, much more useful.
I was expecting something else hence the questions, but now the addon says it all.
genius with the zip file, it compress' the .xml nearly 10 times.

I had a lot of trouble using the cache 'hack' method with the built in stalker client 1.0.3, no matter how many times I deleted cached epg, cleared data, restarted it would now show the epg. it downloaded the cache file fine and all, but every time the guide was blank, also you get an error on startup when the xml path is blank.
I ended up using the method for kodi 15.2 which is much more natural for the built in stalker client. pointing it to a file as intended worked the first time without any problems and no annoying error message. I realize nfps stalker is different, but for the built in stalker this is really the way it should be configured imho according to how the addon works, i disabled cache of cause dont know what will happen if you don't.

a customized location to download the file for build in stalker client would be nice. :)

yeah i read that, it will be a great addon, i'm just waiting, and with all the up and downs i'm not really in the mood to change mac, and fool around. my previous experience with the website or service earlier today was not good lol.. i can live with that though, i take it that it must mean they are working to better things.
