NEw EPG updater update.. Big Changes.. New USers, get this first

The guide was working fine last night when I went to bed. Turned box off and when I came down this morning. The guide is unable to load.

I had not made any changes. Went to iptv66 anyway and changed mac and did a reset. I know I didn't need to but did reset my box a few days earlier and had been using the same mac for months.

Running kodi 16.1
Using ninja epg updater, portal 1.Iptv66
Not checked configure iptv stalker
Using stalker client

Am I missing something?

Is everyone else's guide loading OK?
 
Hi Ilan i think I finally got it setuo. I used the method of letting epg updater configure stalker however I still get the message unable to load guide. Is the epg ninja down at the moment as I am seeing others with the same message.
 
This updater is the best. It makes configuring the PVR so easy now. But I do have one issue. Every so often (about every ten minutes or so) I'm getting a error in the corner saying updater re authenticating. Can anyone explain why this might be popping up. Everything is working fine with the updater and the pvr client. So I'm at a loss as to why this would be continuously giving me this message. Running 16.0 on a Shield. TIA
 
After the PVR is configured, make sure you turn off the configuration flag on the updater. The pvr is reauthenticating possibly because the server thinks there is another client (like IPTV Stalker) is using the same MAC, so make sure you aren't running another PVR or IPTV Stalker.
 
something weird is happening to my pvr stalker client.
I'm running kodi 16.1 i installed the ninja stalker updater, set it to configure pvr,,,
I noticed an id mismatch. I went back into the stalker client and the serial, device id's and signature were changed to what looks like a random set of numbers and letters. i deleted and put my old info back in and it worked fine. then i reset kodi and all the id mismatch happened again. for some reason those random id and serial numbers keep going back in at startup. is there a way to fix this?


Update:
OK here we go,
For some reason the pvr xml file doesn't update when you try to go back to your original signature, id and etc. I'm using a fire stick. luckily ES file explorer has an editing tool i simply found the pvr stalker xml file and edited my original id's, signature, and serial and voila! problem solved. hopefully it helps anyone else who has the same issue.

Well, you do have an option for the EPG updater to configure your PVR Stalker. If you want to retain your custom settings, turn off the setting in the EPG Stalker, and for those who do use it, make sure you turn it off after the PVR is configured.

The EPG Updater inserts hashes of your MAC for the device info if you chose to let it configure the PVR... so that explains the 'random' values you see there.
 
@psycon

seen in a thread ( now I cant seem to find it ) you said you were going to add the epg listing for the ppv's do you have a eta on when they will be added ( if at all )


The service is awesome love the trick you posted in the stalker client nfps release thread thread to enable the epg

Loving every-thing you do


Thanks a million
 
ok version is now 1.0.16.... fixed a couple things... configure pvr.stalker is off by default, so this will not overwrite your current settings unless you turn it on.
device ids are auto generated and set now.
note.. when you turn on configure "pvr.stalker", you must enter your donation, mac, and choose a server... then go to papiao (or 66) and do an IPTV reset.

I’m running:
Kodi 16.1
Stalker Client NFPS 1.0.3
Stalker EPG Updater is 1.0.16 (was on auto update)
IPTV66

I’ve been slowly losing all my guide data (nearly every channel shows "No Information Available") so I came here to figure out what was going on. My Stalker EPG Updater had the ‘Configure PVR Stalker’ on, so I’m guessing it wiped out my settings and caused the guide to stop updating? I’ve added in my Donation # and full MAC, then did an IPTV reset, but I am still not getting guide data (channels work fine).
Does it matter what server is selected? I left it where it was (1.iptvprivateserver.tv), then tried 1.iptv66.tv, but still no luck getting the guide to load.

EPG Download path is currently special://temp
Should 'Configure Simple IPTV' and 'Configure PVR Stalker' be on or off?

Any thoughts?

Thanks Mason! I did that and also switched over to the regular Stalker Client as it seems to be recommended now with the new EPG Updater (it's noted in this thread that the NFPS version isn't supported at the moment). I had to correct the download path for the EPG file, but all seems to be working at the moment. Cheers :)
 
Glad you've got it going. The updater with the regular stalker client works perfect. Makes setup easier than before and has been working flawless for me on several different machines, including the M8, M8S, M8S Plus and the Nvidia Shield. Cheers !!
 
There is a slight glitch with the Stalker EPG updater;
When you configure this addon and select Configure Simple IPTV or Configure IPTV Stalker(Not Working). Clear data & enable TV the channels load, but when you restart Kodi the pVR load fails . When I the go and check which PVR is loaded both PVR's become enabled. I then have to disable IPTV stalker (Not working), disable TV, clear data and re-enable TV for the channels to work.

Hope it makes sense
 
When I disable/uninstall the standard Stalker and enable either NFS or Simple IPTV stalker everything works fine. But after I restart Kodi both PVR'S (kodi stalker and NFS) becomes enabled so TV does not work until I disable
Kodi stalker, leaving NFS or Simple stalker enabled.
