Probably, especially with a xml that is served remotely. The size of the data that is passed is about 18M, it's not huge, but maybe with some setups with minimal ram, those setups may be flopping between the feed and loading it into the epg database.

It does on Kodi 14 it seems . No at all difference on Kodi 15.
I have set the xml files at a 7 day load now. If your on Kodi 14 and find it too slow... upgrade!
The only part that should be longer is the "initial loading from clients" stage as it has to download a bigger file.
this is for the EPG gurus, dara, pyscon, and whoever else helped, i found that in the EPG, some channels are showing the right program, at the right time, but in some others, there is a timeshift showing programs that where let's call "aired" earlier or will be later than the time showed, by this i mean, calling an example, HBO is showing in EPG Cars at 14:00hrs, Ice Age 3 at 16:00hrs, Planes at 18:00hrs, and Conan at 20:00hrs, time set is 16:00hrs, and is showing on live tv Cars, or Planes, in the mean time in Fox Movies Latinoamérica EPG is showing Hércules, and in live tv channel is exactly the same, this is with the same guide loaded at same time.
I thought it might be an issue of from where the XML are loading the data, and maybe for some channels load it from different time zone than others, JMO, and for all this, do you think it can be addressed and fixed?
Regards.

simple problem in the grabber. regenerating the lists now.. you will probably have to purge your database.. give it 5 mins to regenerate before you do anything.
You're so quick in this, you're da'men, and don't worry for time, i'm at work at this moment, "working hard" as you can see, heheheheheheheeeee.
Here is an update for the dummy files (full and english) and a correction for the UK rename. Some of those were just wrong, or have no schedule data. The dummies also include channels where there is no EPG available (like Azteca Noticias, UFC, ABC.COM, for example) I have found data using webgrabplus for about 27 named channels, and testing those to see if the time shift works for the grabbed data... looks good so far for the english, but I have no clue about the spanish or ASTRO/Star channels. I'm manually merging the data to the end of a NFPSF file, so if psycon can figure out a way to run the webgrab, then merge that output, the dummy and the mc2xml, we can have all the channels covered!
On the webgrab, I'm pulling from 8 sources, and the output has to be time corrected to utc, for which there is a little utility to do that. For the 27 channels, it takes about 4 minutes to pull for 2 days of data. Just a consideration, but if instead dummies can be "easier", let me know.
Edit: Attached is the result "wg_guide_tc.xml" and three configuration files, other than ini's, that are needed to run the webgrab after install. The wg_guide_tc is a time corrected xmltv to match UTC, even though there are time offsets listed... I think they are ignored by the PVR:

added the UK fix.. will start working on the webgrab bit in a while.. shouodnt be too difficult.
One of the ini's, astro.my, does have to be modified for a time zone error... +8:00, vs. +8.00 .
please c/p and send me your webgrab folder form programdata... i installed the siteini pack and its not working for me, well most of it isnt.
Here ya go. I took out the documentation folder, I was going to get rid of the others folders as well, but wasn't as sure about it.
First of all thanks for all the work.
Don't know if this helps, or if it is too little too late.
Don't know how to use Webgrab... here it goes:

Thanks for the request! I focus on the 'named channels' as they normally don't get whipsawed from the list, and those Mexican networks are pretty easy to find. I'll add it to the webgrab list, but the negative will be that we will lose the channel ID that is generated by the dummy. Hopefully you'll see epg data in the next few days.
psycon, need to run the time correct on the wg_guide.xml to reset the times for utc, so it will match the rest of the guide. Attaching the utility to do that, and data files which should include the Mexico channels, less #5. I also updated the pull for 2-3 days, vs. 1 day.
