EPG on FireTV/Kodi/Stalker

[shiznay]

Hey Guys,
Firstly, thanks to all the guys putting the effort in here, I've been messing with IPTV streams for a few years now ever since a local provider when I used to live in spain launched an OTT system providing UK channels to expats (which I managed to hack, lol)

Anyways, I have a firetv and love the box, and it seems like I'm a step closer towards a truly unified system with 1 remote that the wife can use and eventually allow me to cut the cord! :D

AS of right now, I have kodi up and running on my AFTV with the stalker addon, and I'm satisified enough right now that its working.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any guides that will work to be able to get a 3rd party solution up and running for EPG ?
I have also wondered that if i did get something running, would it get ruined all the time by the constant channel changes/updates?

Cheers

From what I know, this is still beta, so it would really be pointless to have a guide until it is finalized.

EPG has not been implemented yet with the NFPS iptv.

Yeah I know it hast been implemented on the server. I'm asking for opinions or knowledge on 3rd party epg plugins..

The best way to go would be xmltv.. for each channel you would have to lookup for sources (ie ScheduleDirect etc). Theres another program that could help you organize your EPG data and consolidate it on a single xml file, I use it for my SageTV PVR for some channels, heres a link for it (its ask for a donation for usage of some features thou)

Why pay for a third party since a little bit latter with the iptv service it will be available.

You guys absolutely have a very solid technical and convincing point.

Although the other day she asks me when all this will be ready...
Of course I reply, "well it's not quite there yet, Darling. I need to suss out something for the EPG and get the buttons on the home screen for you"
"Whats EPG"
