New EPG Option -open discussion

Kodi 17 just loaded automatically on my Nvidia Shield this morning.. Had to play around with cache settings on PVR Stalker add-on and clear all existing cache, then voila, guide loaded as expected.
Just trying to get used to the new Kodi 17 gui. - cosmetic changes, etc.
 
Stalker EPG not loading after KODI update from v16 to v17 via Android PlayStore today

Hello Friends: :)

I hope you're all well.

I stumbled into the following issue today and was wondering if anyone else has experienced it.

Kodi was updated today from v16 (final) to v17.x (v17.0 Git:20170201-a10c504) on my Android box (Marshmallow), via the PlayStore. It was updated just like all other updatable apps were.

After the update completed, I launched Kodi and let it complete it's little first-run "Upgrading plugins ..." task. All was well. I simply needed to re-enable the Stalker Client (perhaps it was updated, too, as part of the "first-run" task). The Stalker Client version is now v2.8.3 (I don't recall what it was before the Kodi update). That works, too, thankfully but for this:

The EPG no longer loads. My stalker XML configuration file hasn't changed, so the http://yahyabell.com URL is still in effect.

The message is: Stalker Client: Unable To Load Guide

Has anyone else noticed this after upgrading to Kodi 17? I'm scratching my head.
:confused:

Thank you! :)
 
Thank you. I just FTP'ed it over and am grep(1)ing through it now. :)

So far I only have the following which may indicate that -- as you mentioned -- I have to enable debugging ...

I get the following stanza repeated about five times. Note below that URL, http://epg.example.com/, is simply a subdomain I created from my personal domain (which is not actually "example.com" :)), so that I didn't have to remember the lengthy real URL. But as seen right after, the "effective" URL was correctly resolved. For completeness, however, I did try directly setting the underlying URL (well, actually, http://yahyabell.com) in one of my Portals (portal-5 and then selected that), but that did not resolve the issue. Worth a shot, but it wasn't the problem. :)

This repeats about four more times, before moving on. Maybe this sheds some light for others. I will keep poking around.
 
i see this as the problem..
seems to connect fine..

but then..
23:44:44.029 T:18446744073025038640 INFO: CFileCache::Process - Source read didn't return any data! Hit eof(?)
so it not getting any data.
i'm sure there must be something there..
 
Hi @Blackbear199 ...

Thanks again! ...

Correct, I'm inclined to agree because here is the debug log with the underlying URL (at the deepest level -- with no indirections) used just now (same as before and with the same issue as you just commented) ...
