POTATO TV (IPTV Stalker addon)

#641
Yes, it can. Install Potato TV and have it configure the IPTV Simple client. It doesn't matter which EPG you choose in Potato TV when configuring because you'll override it in IPTV Simple client. Once you're finished with Potato TV configuration, go to IPTV Simple client configuration and add one of these EPG URLs.

Hello and happy New year.

As I m New to IPTV I would like to ask sth.
I have an M3U list and I watch channels and vod through vlc.

I know how to use it with kodi but is it posible to have epg through POTATO?

I v read the first pages of the thread but I m not sure it can be done.

Thanx

Ken,

The guide work perfectly, thanks!!!!!

By the way, is Potato TV development dead? It sure would be nice to clean up the TV guide URLs in the configuration.

Also don't forget to review the links you posted to change the url from iptvtalk.net to iptvtalk.net or the redirect won't work.

I did not even think about that. Thanks for the Reminder!!
As for CP and PTV, unknown.
Just FYI... I am working on something for Kodi. Stay tuned.
(My test setup is awesome!)

Sweet. I was just going to ask that. I was going to say it would be very cool to have a TV guide built into potato tv. Even better if that guide could have a video preview windows in the top left or top right side of that guide. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

You may be using PotatoTV Wrong.
You use it by selecting the TV home menu item which opens IPTV Simple client, with a full guide???

I am already watching the right way by selecting the tv button on the home page of kodi as you suggest. I was just saying it would be extra cool to have a kodi addon with a built in tv guide so we don't have to use IPTV simple pvr client and would be cool if we could have a video preview window in the top right or top left side of this new tv guide kodi addon. I would show you an example of what I'm talking about but I'm not sure if the mods on this site will allow me to talk about other IPTV providers.

I guess I can show you a screen shot and remove the logo of the service provider.

Here is the TV guide I use for another IPTV service, I wont say the name. But this is a kodi addon. I was hoping someone here could make the same thing.

I look forward to seeing that too! I broke down and installed Potato TV on H96pro with Supercelerons ROM. It has FTMC and the native stalker would not authenticate. I couldn't find out why but it was like V1.0.3 in FTMC KODI. I broke down thinking running Potato TV will be similar with the pretty guide interface and I AM LOVING IT.

I know everyone says DREAMLINK interface but I have yet to find any screen shots to compare. A picture is worth a thousand words to me with interface issues.

Potato TV has the colorful guide and a preview Player in the upper right corner! It appears to show more channels in the guide total number of channels per screen 9? Great work on this thing It seems its updated but the first post shows version 1.

Here is a pic of the interface for those who pay attention to the software side.

:rolleyes:

There are any number of ways to get a colorized epg, it just depends on the skin you are using. All that has to be done is to add genres and map colors to said genres. The xml skin file can be edited to change the amount of channels shown in the display. I listed a MOD for Confluence skin last year in the epg section and it has the directions for which files to change as well as 2 sets of genre colors, depending on your preference. Of course, you can tweak the genres to your personal preference if you like certain colors over others. It's really easy to do.

Thanks Ilan, I read it, I remember this back in some EPG work but thanks to many members the guide is alive and well. I pulled one of the community effort guide.xml and put it in progtv. It was great for muli-channel guide but crude GUI and navigation drifts in the timeline if you scroll up or down the channels so... no thank you sir. The work you mention, expatter, thank you for your efforts. The colorful scheme utilized appears limited, for now, to FTMC/KODI.

I am all over the forum and the web and duly sweating the technique playing with new players. I am starting to think I gotta throw cash at a couple boxes and see what shakes out in the EPG area . I just feel greedy, I want it all, I want on demand, a clean gui with multichannel guide and recording. I'm weary and wise and don't fly too close to the sun. I'm happy with potato tv but willing to change someday.

The work in the skins and xml guide have set the standard, in my mind, for what I expect in a live tv/rebroadcast interface. I just cant find anything that would substitute unless a T2 or buzz would get a similar or improved GUI.

Sorry, I mean No Harm...! Are You experiencing a better Viewing Experience than those using TV-Online...?!?
Click to expand...

I'm not sure about overall viewing experience. I don't know what the TV-Online experience would be. I just haven't found anything to replace potatotv for GUI implemented in KODI plus have a section to get the VOD. I have tried some players for android, not impressed with the GUI. Kens has a new addon in the same vein so to speak and it looks about the same since its in Kodi.

TV-Online is Good and it has VOD also...! Guide is Good Also but not for the UK Chnls lately... My Question, I Guess, should have been worded just a tad dif...! I am Wondering if using the Potatotv stays Up longer than the TV-Online does...! Less Freezing, less chnl changing(moving around/switching), less chnls disappearing and going Black Screen... Me Friend says She has to turn the AVOV Off and Unplug it about every other day and sometimes every day 3-5 in a row...! Then it is Good for a Day or Two, sometimes longer...! But She can't use that Guide that Kens worked Hard and Long on as for some reason KODI 17+ won't load on it...! If I get Lucky enough to Win the Contest, I'll Give Her that STB so She can have Fun and Enjoy TV Again...! Thanks for Your Reply...!

Kens guide should load on it. I have not used it until recently but I run it on Kodi 17.4 and 17.6 during recent tests using the IPTV simple client and the stalker client. I am pretty sure it should work. Gotta be a typo in there. You have to modify the EPG URL. I think pototat tv also has some keymaps with it too.
