Guide Is Blank

[georgec]

Unable to load guide message

There have been a few posts about this but not in this section

[stavster]

Yeah same issue. There is an error in the kodi.log (when using either Stalker PVR or Simple PVR) relating to the guide XML. It looks like there is something malformed within the downloaded XML which is stopping the guide from loading. If that is the case then the ********** guys will need to fix that.

Pay on does this have an affect on avov or mag boxes mine have no guide either.

[Bkman2020]

Sometimes provider has issues with epg.

Psycon,

I downloaded the new epg, but it failed to load as well. The errors appear to be the same: 1. Parse failed to load XMLTV data 2. XMLTV Parse failed

[psycon]

make sure your deleting the cache files

server epg will be updated shortly as well

[ilan]

Yep, cache files were deleted. Hopefully, the next update will turn things around.

[Marley]

yea i have problem too but im sure it will be fixed

[XxPiratexX]

Yea same here :(

I'm sure it will be sorted soon by psycon.

yeah!! guide is blank! who is in charge of the guide???? needs to do a better job!!!! lol

Here's a fix for the blank guide:

open the epg_xmltv.xml file with an editor (like notepad++, etc) and scroll to bottom line and cursor up one line; you will be here:

</programme>
</tv>

Insert a new line between these two lines and add the following: </programme>

It should now look like this:
</programme>
</programme>
</tv>

I know, it seems counter intuitive, but it worked for me! ;)

Save the file
Go to Kodi settings for TV and under guide, clear data (not for TV, just for guide!)

Guide will load up!

Cheers.

Fix not working for me on Windows setup

[ixm00m]

Same here guide still not working :(, I guess I will wait.

[ilan]

It works on my Kodi Android set-up. Before any changes, there were 33192 open programme tags, <programme>, and 33191 close programme tags, </programme>, so one tag was not closed within the file. Adding the final </programme> appears to be enough to make some systems happy, but not enough to satisfy all systems.

[fonz1234]

my guide is blank also. Any advise on this?

[ilan]

You can try to make the change mentioned above or wait for the next guide update, which will hopefully fix the issue.

[mike1971]

Adding the tag mentioned fixed mine on kodi 16.1 win 10. Hope that helps someone.

is thare any spaces my format in notebook puts it like </programme></tv> not bottom to top

[ilan]

There are no spaces. If added, they would be disregarded.

[fonz1234]

where to find that file????

[caribchief]

Guys all these quick fixes are just temporary solutions. Do we have any idea if the actual fix is being worked on?

[expatter]

Today the UK section was blank and I find a partial guide bothersome, so I ran the Ivue guide addon and then went into the addon directory for it and opened the master.xml file, then highlighted and copied the whole thing; then opened the epg_xmltv.xml and pasted the Ivue guide at the bottom of the ninja guide. I had to clear the TV guide data twice, but that pretty much filled the entire guide in after that.

It's another temporary fix, but...it's a full guide.
