No guide data arriving last couple of days

[TVFan]

Whoa, a whole new forum and it looks like my first post on this site will be it's earliest post!

I've been using PVR Stalker NFPS for a couple of weeks with no issue. I switched to the 72 hour guide a few days ago to get the detailed information, but as that initial 72 hour load of data came to an end last night, no more guide data appeared. I'm using Kodi 16.0 and PVR Stalker NFPS 1.0.1 on a Windoz PC.

On Kodi startup I get the "Loading channels from clients", "Loading guide from database" and the "Importing Guide data from Clients" messages, but the guide info still stops at last night.

I've tried resetting my MAC on the papiao site, setting the timeout to 50 seconds, toggling TV enabled and PVR Stalker NFPS on and off, and clearing data in both the TV and EPG sections. No joy.

Is there something else I could try?

Disable both PVR Stalker NFPS and TV. Under TV, clear data in General and in Guide.

In userdata, delete the cache_xmltv.xml file. In userdata/database delete all the tv.db and epg.db files. Some will have numbers, like epg5.db or tv29.db.

Exit and restart Kodi.

Re-enable PVR Stalker NFPS. Re-enable TV.

That should straighten out any issues.

I followed all the instructions above, with the exception of "delete the cache_xmltv.xml" which I can't find. It doesn't appear in Kodi/System/File Manager and a search of C: with Windoze Explorer failed to find the file.

I did delete EPG11.db and TV19.db using both the Kodi File Manger and Windoze but the after all the "Clear Data" clearing, re-enabling and rebooting, the guide still contains yesterday afternoon's data and nothing else.

I do get the "Loading channels from clients", "Loading guide from database" and the "Importing Guide data from Clients" messages on boot, but they are very brief.

I've been getting "unable to load guide" on fire tv stick for the past 2-3 days. ive delete guide data under tv and guide. thanks if you guys can help

its either in Kodi>System>File manager>Profile Directory>addon_data>pvr.stalker
or its in Kodi>System>File manager>Profile Directory>addon_data>pvr.stalker.nfps..


you should see a cache xmltv or cache json file in there

delete both and restart..

if it still doesnt work, put kodi in debug mode and pm me a link to your log file using the kodi log uploader program plugin.

Thanks psycon, I deleted both cache.xml and epg_xmltv.xml from pvr.stalker.nfps and everything is working fine again. I did not realize that pvr.stalker.nfps was a directory and so did not think to look inside. That's one of the things I love about IPTV: all the stuff you learn.

Thanks for helping me out with this and thanks for all the work you do on this very fun project.

[hreynoso1]

[hreynoso1]
