In the above URL in the psy0n portion it's a zero not a o that is my only idea
They're not talking about having troubles implementing the guide using that URL.
The repo was not working yesterday (or the day before). Psycon acknowledged that fact and said he was working on getting it working again.Quote:
I have used this ninja repo about 20 times before but for the last week I cant get it to load.
Yeh tried that, & everything else, but still not working.Quote:

We can't all be making it up or not clearing data etc.
As I said it's a pity cause when it works it's great
When set up correctly in PVR Stalker client, the EPG works. I'm not talking about issues with dedicated boxes. Those who had issues with PVR Stalker client and followed directions got it working. Here it is from moments ago...

Thanks ilan, this guide worked for me (using Kodi and EPG Updater). Both the short URL and the long one worked fine.

Good to hear. I will post a link to the crucial instructions in case people tune in late and can't figure out the plot...

Hi Ilan,
Your method with URL works for me. However my guide is now offset by 1 hour. The Stalker EPG Updater had an option checked to fix that. Since I have now disable its use...how can your fix (URL) now included in the PVR Stalker Client as a remote URL correct the 1 hour time difference. The PVR Stalker Client by itself I believe cannot fix that problem. ?????

Hi Ilan,
Just for the record...the guide is displaying the correct time according to my system time on the FireStick. However it's the data in the guide that is shifted by one hour. As said before this was corrected when using the EPG Stalker Updater from EPG Ninja that has the guide offset 1 hour option. Since I no longer use this because I now use the custom URL you provided for stalker client...the guide data is off. Is there any sort of file I can modify manually to reflect the 1 hour change?
Tried what you suggested and it didn't work.
Thank You

I haven't tried the updater lately, but it was still working last week. The URL just made things easier for most. You could try the updater again to see if it will load the guide and allow for the time adjustment. Make sure to clear the data before you enable it.
Thanks buddy for trying and your help. It's greatly appreciated. I will be on the lookout for any updates.

First, you'll need to download and install something like Notepad++ (see below...it's free, but you can make a donation) to edit the EPG's XML file. Next, download the guide. I'd stick with its default name, guide.xml.
Set-up PVR Stalker client to use Local and then navigate to the guide.xml file you just downloaded. Go to TV > Guide and Clear data so the guide loads. Look within the guide for a few shows, and note the times. (They should be off by one hour as you indicated.) You're going to compare these times to the times in your edited guide, adjusting until you get things right.
Load guide.xml in Notepad++. There are over 150,000 lines of code, so the global search and replace will be your best friend for this task.
What you will be editing is the time offset in the guide. (You won't have to know coding to do this.) The lines Notepad++ will edit look like this:
<programme channel="I2.28460311.microsoft.com" start="20160909233000 +0000" stop="20160910000000 +0000">
Within Notepad++ be at the very top of the file, click Search and then choose Replace from the ensuing drop down menu. In the "Find what" area, enter +0000 (normally, this is the time offset from UTC time). In the "Replace with" area, enter +0100 and click Replace All. Save the edited file.
Now, clear your guide data so it will load the edited version of the guide. Compare the original program times to the edited program times (you should see a change of one hour), and determine which direction you need to go to get things aligned with your local time. If that didn't do it, try another search and replace. (The time offset can be negative, too, like -0100.) I'm thinking +0100 or -0100 will do the trick in your case.
After you've done this a few times, it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to download, edit, save and load the guide.

Ilan,
Great explanation bro and thank you for taking the time to share it with us. I have a quick question....you mentioned in the above explanation EPG xml and Guide xml. Just want to confirm its the guide xml I am editing? If I am...do you know the exact location of the file?
Also would the guide xml file ever be overwritten once I modify the times?
Thanks Ilan.
If I do find the file before you respond I will edit this post.
If you input the guide's URL in a browser, the guide will load in the browser's window. Just do a save as "guide.xml" from within the browser after the guide is fully loaded.
The guide will not be overwritten, but the data will run out in a short time (as is normal) and you will have a blank guide. In that case, you would download a new copy of the guide and repeat the editing process.
Hi Ilan,
I found a file in the temp folder called epg_xmltv.xml. This is the path PVR Stalker Client points to when local is chosen. The xml file does contain the times as explained above. But again Ilan if I am using the remote URL (http://nfps.**********) to download the guide data...I would not be able to edit that file wherever it downloads to.
Looking foward to any further explanations.

From what I understand the solution is not really a permanent one as I will have to edit the xml file every time I manually download the guide. Sounds great for me personally however it may not work out for my customers.
Nevertheless knowledge is power my friend and I am eternally greatfull for your detailed explanation.
Thanks again and I will keep an eye out for updates.

Using ilan setup with short url for guide.
This is not the first time this has happened. Once guide does load, it always stops at 7:30 PM the next day
Disable TV, then disable PVR Stalker client, then exit Kodi. Now, restart Kodi...upon entering, Clear Data in General and Guide, then enable PVR Stalker client, then enable TV.Quote:

I just loaded the guide. I have UK data. If the guide poops out or if information is lacking, try a reload. If that doesn't work, it could be a lack of data from the source or a bad pull. It will most likely be fixed in the next update.
I am very confused regarding the guide issue for kodi. First of all, earlier in the day I installed the iptv emulator 8.08 and was able to get it working on my octa core android box but I didnt like how it performed. CNN and some other channels were perfect but others channels the video was like in slow motion and not smooth. I then decided to test the box in kodi using the built in stalker pvr client and got the channels working with better picture.
Where I am confused at is the remote url address for the guide..Is http://nfps.******** a short address for something? Are we supposed to sub the ** for some other characters?
Thanks

Expatter has got your back. Just enter the following address without the spaces.

You guys are awesome. Thanks ilan and expatter for the guide issue. In regards to the hardware acceleration in the emulation 8.08.03 I did turn of hardware acceleration and had to turn of media codec or CNN or some other channels would not pop in with only sound. Western channel was a culprit. slow...Thanks again all for the epg info.
I'm glad to hear it all worked out. Hardware acceleration is a catch-as-catch-can area. For some, turning it off works miracles. For others, it makes matters worse. All that can be done is to give it a shot and see how it affects video quality.
Hello Friends:
For a few weeks now (roughly), my Stalker EPG data isn't loading (100% blank). In searching around, it appears that the URL http://nfps.e****** no longer works; and, in fact, visiting it via a web browser shows that that URL no longer exists.
Did I miss something? If not, what is the replacement method for getting Stalker EPG data?
Thank you! :)
It has been gone for several weeks. A better option is now in place...
