Kodi IPTV Stalker Client EPG Guide

[onojhcal]

Anyone know how to get the EPG guide in stalker client to work with iptvexpress ? My channels load up great and then an error saying that the guide didn't load . Maybe it just doesn't work in Kodi ?

I'm using the latest build 17 and everything works flawlessly minus no guide.

Thanks in advance

Same problem here.

The guide does not work.

I can get the guide to work in 16.1, but with the exact same settings in my Kodi 17 on my Sony Bravia it will not load. I think it must be something in 17, but I can't figure it out. I also haven't been able to figure out
how to disable the TV in 17, there must be a way but I just don't see it.

There isn't an enable/disable TV function in K 17. It is now automatic based on PVR status. TV is enabled if one or more PVRs are enabled. It is disabled if no PVRs are enabled.

But, clearing the data and guide info is tough because it wants to work as soon as you start to clear, is it still clearing while it's starting?
And while I'm at it, do you know how to get the guide to work in 17 Ilan with the yahyabell epg? I can't see any difference in the settings between 16 and 17, but for the life of me I just can't seem to get it to work in 17.

The guide I got working I'm on 16.1 or whatever it is . But guide only works for maybe 7 channels. Can you let us know how you got the guide working sipde

I don't have a Kodi installation at hand right now to test. Can you disable the PVR, which would disable TV, and then clear data for both channels and guide?

Have you tried using the full EPG address? It has worked with some K 17 versions, but not all... In addition, try changing guide caching from caching to no caching and back to see if that has an effect as well.

For some reason when I disabled the PVR it locked up my Kodi, I'll try that again and see how that goes.

Hmm...I did not add the /master/guide.xml - I'll try that later and let you know if that helps. I went back through the forum but didn't see that somehow, I try to read as much as I can before bugging you guys and most of the time I can figure it out, but this time I'm stumped..
Thanks for you responses, I appreciate the help!

I tried this for mine, it acted like it wanted to work, but still failed to load the guide :(

I finally got it to work under Krypton, I had to go back to Yahyabell for the epg, set the cache on and 72 hour. Disabled the PVR stalker, cleared the data and cache, enabled the PVR and re-booted Kodi.
Now it seems to be working fine, at least when I left this morning. I'm anxious to see if it will still work when I get home later.

There seems to be a cache related issue. That's why I suggested tinkering with it. Glad you got it working.

@sipde; your advice worked perfectly for me where all else failed. Thanks!

That's why I love this forum, there is always help. This stuff is frustrating for sure at times and it's great to have other brains to pick! Glad it worked for you. Thanks to ilan for steering me in the right direction too!

Tried the above for my setup with IPTVONLINE using Stalker Client - and had no luck. I'm using Kodi 17 Krypton - as @ilan noted I think it's hit an miss with 17? My channels work great, just not loading guide data.

It loads the channels into the guide correctly, just not the channel information or logo. I've tried all the difference combinations of setups noted throughout the forums.
