If using PVR Stalker;
PVR Stalker is sometimes problematic when attempting to clear guide data in the Databases.
Here is the procedure to delete the 2 database files manually, so that when you restart Kodi, it has to generate new files, using the new data from the new guide URL source.
You need a good file manager/ explorer App. that you can Enable seeing Hidden files & folders.
I use ES File Explorer, from Google Playstore.
- Shutdown Kodi and use the File manager to go to the following Directory;
On Android-> Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/Database (see note)
Note* Android: Sometimes the exact path will differ from device to device. The Android userdata folder is usually
inside of "sdcard" so the path might be /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/Database
On WindowsPC -> C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\Database
Delete 2 files
- Epg11.db
- TV29.db
Exit the File manager and Restart Kodi
* You must have the new EPG URL address already saved in the Stalker Settings, before doing this.
For PVR IPTV Simple client or * PotatoTV Users
To change the guide source URL address;
- Go to System Settings/ Add-ons/ My Add-ons/ PVR Clients/ PVR IPTV Simple Client
- Click "Disable", then click "Configure"
- Click "EPG Settings" button
- Click in the "XMLTV URL" edit window
- Change the URL to the new URL, then click "OK" to save the settings
