have you tried changing the epg address to

http://epg.ninja/NFPSF.xml

style rather that nfpsf.epg.ninja
also I have corrected set max already and appears to be right now.

finally!!!, i changed the link to this and it loaded the very first time, and the epg description seems good and working, they are just off by either 3 or 4 hours, i need to verify this still though as my epg for other channels seems off by one hour, probably do to day light savings. I will report back as soon as i figure out how many hours, thanks a lot though, seems like we are close to finalizing this

 

[Blackbear199]

check

http://epg.ninja

the other daylight savings links are there.
also I compared some to online epg guides and its seems off.i went by watching the channel for a movie/show to start and checking the guide to see if its correct for most channels.
but I could've been wrong as I don't know the programs for most so if I missed the name at the start it was a guess.

ok so here is what i figured out so far,

Set Max = good EPG is correct now
Star Gold = good

Zee Cinema = our epg is 2 hours ahead of the actual epg
Movies OK = our EPG is 4.5 Hours ahead of the actual epg
B4U Movies = our epg is 4.5 hours ahead of actual epg

if you used the same epg source for any other indian stream channels (Like sports channnels, star sports 1,2,3,4 ten sports...etc) they will also be all 4.5 hours ahead, and uk streams 2 hours ahead. please fix the above and then movie channels should be good , will check more channels later. thanks again

if you checking it agains whatsonindia.com it doesn't match.
I just check everyone of those channels by watching them and they are right in my guide.
check it against in.com,it matches whats playing correctly.

its actually not, like if you look at b4u movies :

on whatsonindia .com/#!/channel/B4U-Movies it currently shows "Teleshoping" is playing (which i checked on the actual channel it is)

but in kodi epg it says currently "JAi Dakshineshwar kali maa" is playing which is suppose to play almost 4 hours later.

 

[Blackbear199]

well I don't know whats up as my epg shows teleshopping for that channel.

do u have a timezone entered for pvr stalker?
I have one entered in mine,get one for your location here,i entered mine exactly as show(case sentitive) as in original stalker it was Europe/Kiev(caps for the start of each word).
get the one closest to your location as it affect daylight savings time change dates.

this is weird, I do have my timezone in pvr to -4 as i am in EST time zone and with Day light saving its currently -4, All the english channels 105-150 have correct epg for me, but some of these indian channels dont.

currently b4u in epg shows "JAi Dakshineshwar".... playing from 4:30 pm - 9:30 pm, but on the channel and in.com its "sacred evil" is playing. if your epg is synced, then my kodi is acting, but why only for these channels, because english channels are good for me. tnx

but again Set Max and MOvies OK, shows proper epg for me, so its half of these channels. i wonder if you set max EPG is synced ?

hmm,are you using iptv stalker? and not pvr stalker?
your epg has no color in guide where mine has some,thats why I ask.
if so since we are using 2 diff pvr clients it could be the prob but shouldn't make any diff.
I am using pvr stalker 0.8.3

yes i am using IPTV stalker 1.2.0, shouldn't make a difference though no ? i will check out pvr stalker also

 

[Blackbear199]

ok.thks.see if pvr stalker shows it correctly for you.
wish someone else would answer with their results also to compare.
it shows correctly for me on a windows and Linux box with pvr stalker.

 

[Blackbear199]

I installed iptv stalker and was able to duplicate your results and know what the problem is.
all the channels that are off in the iptv stalker guide are from webgrab....
----when webgrab pull the channel information it contains the time offset within the program start/stop tag
----ex <programme start="20150914150000 +0530" stop="20150914180000 +0530" channel="Maa Movies">
----notice the +0530
----the regular English channels you were referring to as being correct are correct because the offset is +0000,its just cocidence that they are being pulled from a uk epg server and its time zone is utc(+0000)
---- india timezone is utc +0530
iptv stalker adds this offset into the guide where pvr stalker ignores it,its been said before that pvr stalker does nothing with the timezone setting and uses your pc timezone.
just so happens for all the channels we pull with mc2xml we can set a flag(-u) which time corrects all those channels to utc time(+0000) so they also appear correct in iptv stalker.

edit,there may be a fix for this but it would require a total rewrite of the epg webgrab pull script,i may look into it but no promises.
I don't know why people prefer iptv stalker when pvr stalker is so much nicer with color in the guide but to each their own.

I should explain this better...
pvr stalker is correcting for the time offset,above example would be -(5.5 hrs plus your timezone u live in -4.0 hrs(ex eastern time)=-9.5 hrs to correct
iptv stalker is doing the above I believe plus adding the -4 ur manually adding within iptv stalker configuration.

 

[Blackbear199]

so in short for the guide to be correct u need to use pvr stalker.
with iptv stalker any channel that is not in utc time(+0000) will be off in the epg.

thanks blackbear199 I didnt even know about pvr stalker, i will use that if it helps with epg.

quick question though, how did you get your logos for international channels, i had to create each and single one for my kodi, is there a channel logo link or folder for international channels (I have the english channel logos in a folder). thnx

pvr stalker pull them from the server for all channels automatically
btw I mananged to get iptv stalker to display the channels correctly,the bad news is it will need its own set of xml files separate from pvr stalker and I doubt psycon will go for that(and either do I personally) as it would definitely lead to mass confusion.
