POTATO TV (IPTV Stalker addon)

Glad to hear it!

If it isn't streaming, it is most likely down. You can post your observation and request in the Channel Issues section of the Server subforum further up the home page.

oh, I see. OK thanks.

Im having issues with the tv guide again. Today my settings for the simple pvr client changed back to viper somehow and the guide wouldnt work so I changed it back to acidjesuz and when i go to the tv guide in potato tv i keep getting the message that says
pvr settings has not been completely done yet

1.clear caches & genereate a new token
2.settings: pvr simple client
3.clear all of tv & epg data
4. quit &restart kodi

i have tried
clearing caches and getting a new token
went to Settings in kodi open PVR service (Kodi 17) on the general tab select clear data
restarted kodi

but i still get that message when i go to tv guide

the only thing i havent tried is 2.settings: pvr simple client and
3.clear all of tv & epg data
but that is because i dont see the "settings: pvr client" button inside the potato tv addon like i see in your pictures on this thread.
i do however see a pvr client button in potato tv and have tried clicking that instead but still get that message.

I have paid for a full year of iptv so I will try anything you suggest.

You need to add Acid's EPG address in IPTV Simple client. It is found under that name in your My Add-ons list.

Thank you for that detailed guide. I tried what you suggested in order and to the "T" and tried both url's and even restarted kodi before enabling iptv simple client but I still get the message "pvr settings has not been completely done yet" when I click on TV guide in potato tv.

Channels will play when I click on the IPTV button and movies will play when I click on the VOD button so I know I have setup my account correctly. Its just the TV guide button I'm having problems with. TV guide and everything were working when I had my android box at my dad's but when I brought the android box to my house and did an iptv reset, I started having this problem with the TV guide displaying this message and not allowing me to view the guide.

I also noticed after I enable the pvr iptv simple client, it says loading channels from clients at the top of the screen but the loading bar never goes up. Then it says importing guide from clients and that part does load the bar all the way.

Do you know something else I can try? I don't give up. Should I try removing potato TV and reinstalling it?

You don't use the guide from within Potato TV. You use it via IPTV Simple client from within Kodi. In Kodi, click on TV or Live TV. If you have previously successfully configured IPTV Simple client by choosing that option from within Potato TV and then changed the guide URL address within IPTV Simple client to one of the working ones, you should now be able to access the channels and the guide from within Kodi.

Oh! Thank you very much. That is exactly what I was doing wrong. I had to select "TV" from the main kodi menu, not the TV guide in Potato TV. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I greatly appreciate it. When I first set up iptv in Potato TV and simple client, I was able to view the guide by clicking the TV guide in Potato TV a few days ago. I wonder what changed. Maybe an update? Anyways, thanks again for walking me through this you guys.

Are there any more URLs I can use in simple client encase the two you gave me go down? A list of URLs would be great because I noticed when I use each of the guides provided by those URLs you gave me, some of the channels are blank but most of them do show up.

wasn't getting my Pach guide for a few days.

followed the instructions to change url to acidjesuz within itv simple client and now all is well.

thanks.

The ones listed above are the only two I know of at the moment. I think they will stick around for a while. I know Kens accepts donations. Check the last few messages in the EPG section for directions.

I'm glad both of you guys are back in business.

Hi Ilan, just a quick question.

The changes I was referring to above were on SPMC, and they worked just fine. EPG is synced perfectly with my timezone.

I just did the same changes to Kodi on the same device (with identical set-up of potato tv) and EPG did not correspond.

I'm 8 hours ahead of GMT...but my EPG is behind by 8 hrs.

I remember selecting the correct timezone in the potato tv settings but i remember you saying that the Simple PVR settings override this.....do I also have to indicate the timezone in the simple pvr settings? Simple PVR Client has a field under epg for time offset but it's currently at 0. I tried setting it to +8 and restarted Kodi after clearing all channel and guide data but didnt seem to work.

Thanks
