POTATO TV (IPTV Stalker addon)

Potato TV v1.0.5-R2 EPG ?

Using V1.0.5-R2 and try to get EPG
Instruction said:

1. The released addon is a LITE-VERSION one.
Thus, it DOES NOT have any extra features, such as addon's EMBEDDED EPG & RECORDING
But you can still have the EPG by generating the PVR Simple Client configuration

can some one explain how to do it in details?
thanks
 
Hello, need some help.

I installed Potato app for first time and is working fine but i have a question. I get the channels to work (no numbering through - don't know if its like that), but i'm not getting the guide within the Video addon. I can get the guide through the IPTV PVR side (TV, then guide), but not inside Potato. It's supposed to be like that or did i something wrong? cuz in the first page pics it seems to show the channels plus what's showing. Thanks
 
Directly under the image of the EPG in the first post is the following...

Awesome. Thanks CP

Wow, super sweet update. Thank You for sharing. Color is simply beautiful champ! Working great on IPad 4 and new NvidiaTV.

thanks for the appreciations mate
and please report if you find any bugs


FYI,


1. I found out that KODI 17 has a bad performance in displaying movie playlist with metada
the KODI 17 will take longer time to load the playlist than KODI 16

my test with the same playlist of 3100+ movies:

2. I also defined a shortcut key for watching a trailer instantly, by pressing the letter "t" (lowercase)

and it requires:

  • my patched version of "TRAILER SHORTCUT" addon (originaly code by: Reggs)
    You can find it in my repo @ Program add-ons directory

  • you also have to install couch potato's preset keymap
  • quit & restart Kodi
 
OUTSTANDING!! You've outdone yourself

Just one question... since I thought you could not have PVR Simple Client AND Potato running at the same time, How do we use the TV guide in Potato?

I have added a new item which will redirect you to the tv guide

and if you've also installed my preset keymap,
you will be able to return to the potato tv addon by pressing "ESC" or by right-clicking the mouse button

but if you're talking the embedded epg like this one:

hmmmm... maybe you should praise the LORD a loooooooooot and ask HIM to melt my frozen heart lol :D
 
Nice work !
couple of Questions

1) any way to limit the# of VOD's ..... that's missing from my settings page

2) I'm not getting the color EPG...... and I'm using Aeon Nox (V6.1) skin..... is that still the culprit ?

your latest version is a lot more stable. Previous ones I had to disable as it locked up on loading when starting Kodi. So far no issues with your latest.

FYI running Kodi 17.2 (with nightly updates). ARM7.1, Android 5.1.1 API level 22 BOX: MXIII-G Build# 108L1 Kernal Version 3.10.33 (Oman's)
 
Not getting the guide..
1. In potato I did ' Settings for PVR Simple Client'
2. Then enables PVR Simple client
3. When I enter TV guide, It says 'PVR settings have not been done yet. Clear cache and get a new token. I cleared cache, and this same message repeats itself.

Also, where is this preset keymap located to install?
 
Amazing Amazing Amazing stuff couch vod metadata puling wonderfully colored Epg looks fantastic

So to melt your heart maybe you need a kiss from your one true love......worked for Elsa maybe it will work for you

Nice work !

yep!
i removed the page limit input in the settings

but it can be added again in the next release (maybe lol)



2) I'm not getting the color EPG...... and I'm using Aeon Nox (V6.1) skin..... is that still the culprit ?

your latest version is a lot more stable. Previous ones I had to disable as it locked up on loading when starting Kodi. So far no issues with your latest.

maybe you haven't tried to quit & restart kodi after performing the auto settings, have you ?

the color epg works properly on my kodi 17 + aeon nox

for better performance, you could try the FTMC instead of the original Kodi
which support your video (amlogic) with hardware acceleration

Not getting the guide..
1. In potato I did ' Settings for PVR Simple Client'
2. Then enables PVR Simple client
3. When I enter TV guide, It says 'PVR settings have not been done yet. Clear cache and get a new token. I cleared cache, and this same message repeats itself.

1. clear caches
2. auto-setting: pvr (including all blah-blah-blah)
3. quit & restart kodi

Also, where is this preset keymap located to install?

Kodi/userdata/keymaps
 
Did my instructions above, and rebooted Kodi.. still same error message trying to use TV Guide. Using Kodi 17.1 in the Amber skin.

I give up..

Don't give up Bro do this

Disable Live Tv
Clear Live Tv Data
Clear Guide Data
Go to the SImple Client PVR
default the info for that as well
Clear Cache Purge Packages Clear thumbs
Exit and Reload Kodi

Go to potato tv enter your personal info and select vipers guide option
Select your local time zone
Ensure live tv is working via the addon
Once it is Then click the button to setup pvr
Clear Cache Purge Packages Clear Thumbs
Exit and Reload Kodi
Enable Live Tv

Sit back and enjoy the pretty pretty guide
 
@1sikguy The one piece of the puzzle you are missing are.... go to Settings in kodi open PVR service (Kodi 17) on the general tab select clear data, it will start to reload the epg... and Viola... Color EPG.
