EPG for US and UK Channels

[expatter]

thank you expatter for all the info, re VOD, would that mean the provider like rocket is no longer offering VOD or is there another way to get it within kodi for rocket

^What ilan said.
Sorry, I thought you were asking if there was an epg for VOD (there isn't). In addition to above, if you use the playlist option and simple client, you can have VOD from the pvr, however using potato is a good way to go for VOD.

aCiDjEsUs - thanks so much!

I was using yayahbell and was hoping it would fix itself or come back to life, but it became apparent that wasn't going to happen. I came here and found your thread right away - the GitHub link worked for me!

Cheers!

Just a note...
Acidjesuz switched to github due to the slow download speed of the european .tk Server.
Use the 2nd URL and disregard the 1st. ( * 10 seconds compared to 2 1/2 minutes ).

The first one works and is still being updated. It just takes a bit longer most of the time.

Hey All,

Great guide and work. Appreciate it. I've been using this xmltv file with TV Guide Fullscreen. All was working well until yesterday. It seems the xml file has an '&' symbol which is causing the xml parse to crash. I've narrowed the issue down to the line of code below. I have managed to manually fix the file but was wondering if the source file could be modified.

    <channel id="I167.24657.schedulesdirect.org">
        <display-name>Discovery Home & Health</display-name>
        <display-name>167 Discovery Home & Health</display-name>
        <display-name>167</display-name>
        <display-name>Discovery Home & Health</display-name>

Thanks

Thank you for the heads up.

Thanks a lot... appreciate it!

Thanks for the guide. It works great but I can't get it to recognize my time zone. I have changed the time zone to -8:00 in IPTV pvr client but the EPG does'nt change time zones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[ilan]

The guide has nothing to do with "recognizing" the time zone. Usually, if your system clock is set correctly, the adjustment in IPTV Simple client is not more than an hour.

When you makes changes, you should clear guide data or restart Kodi to see where you stand.

 

[partyhard]

Where would I view my system clock. I have been clearing guide data and restarting kodi but the epg is still off by 8 hours. when I watch tv the date and time are correctly displayed on the screen

 

[ilan]

Sounds like it is ok if you're seeing the correct date and time on the screen.

What version of Kodi are you using? When the offset is at 0, how far off are you? Again, you need to clear data or restart Kodi after each adjustment.

 

[partyhard]

I was putting my off set at -8;00 thinking that I was adjusting the guide to pacific time. That's what I get for thinking. After returning off set to 0 I have the correct time. Thanks for all the advice.

 

[ilan]

No, sweat. I was hoping 0 would put you on the mark.

 

[expatter]

No, sweat. I was hoping 0 would put you on the mark.

On my box that has 16, I have to offset -5 to get correct epg for EST but not on other installs that have 17.6.

 

[partyhard]

I am running 17.6 also.

Yes, but he was off by 8 hours, and he had the setting at -8, so I thought a 0 setting would probably get things straightened out. I didn't think it was a coincidence.

Kodi has changed how it responds to the offset and how it responds to Daylight Savings Time. Both changes have been in the positive direction.

 

[expatter]

I agree that changes have been in the positive direction but this is just one example of why kodi can be so frustrating for people who are just starting out with it. Not everyone goes to their forums to learn or reads the wiki. RTFM, lol.

 

[ilan]

Very true...

Mr. Acidjesuz.... Channel SPIKE has been changed and is now the Paramount network. The EPG has stopped showing data for Spike. Can you make the necessary channel correction to resume Spike programming.
