    TV Guide is not loading

    newbie here, i have spend three days to get the guide to populate....i am using s2.iptv66.tv

    i have used several different XML files i am unable to populate the guide. I have also tried Potato TV and and before that I was using PVR IPTV Simple client (EPG) - I have locally tried uploaded XML file as well as the url. I tried the Stalker but i was not able to get even the channels to populate, that add-on seems too much room for error with all the info that is required, i think i will skip that.

    Potato TV has three options to select xml files i have tried all three, nothing.

    This may be related to time zone i have a feeling - i was able to populate one file, (mc2xml) file, that seems to populate all the channels however that file has the timing not correct for some weird reason its almost 8 hours off. i googled it seem like some others complaint related to it...

    its brand new kodi install with osmc on rasbarry pie - what could be, i know some have issues and some dont

    Any help will be appreciate it

    Thanks

    Roger

    I have no idea what guides you've tried. I have no idea how you tried to use them. The default guides in Potato TV are no longer working, but a different guide can be specified in IPTV Simple client if it is being used with Potato TV. (For example, you could use the guides mentioned below.)

    The guides that are alluded to in the thread below...Ken's and Acidjesus'...work if they are set-up correctly. Read the thread for the URLs and the mechanics for setting them up.

    ilan thank you, and Kudos to you for directing me to the right place - I am sorry for not providing more details like i should. anyways, I was using the Potato TV default one ( Pach and Viper and test) they were not working and i may have used EPG/ master also, and non were working. anyways looks like I finally was able to load the guide with http://acidjesus.tk/guide.xml

    Thanks again!!! you da man!!

    The Viper guide source is no longer updating.
    Use;

    hxxps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kens13/epg/master/guide_kens.xml
    *(Change hxxps to https )
    -OR-
    hxxps://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/epg/master/guide.xml
    *(Change hxxps to https )
    ***-This replaces the acidjesuz.tk guide host which has a long download time(~2 min)

    * PotatoTV Users
    To change the guide source URL address;
    - Go to System Settings/ Add-ons/ My Add-ons/ PVR Clients/ PVR IPTV Simple Client
    - Click "Disable", then click "Configure"
    - Click "EPG Settings" button
    - Click in the "XMLTV URL" edit window
    - Change the URL to the new URL, then click "OK" to save the settings
    - "DO NOT ENABLE YET"
    - Go to System Settings/ PVR&LiveTV/
    Guide Tab - click "Clear Data" and confirm by clicking "Yes"
    General Tab - click "Clear Data" and confirm by clicking "Yes"
    - Go back to System Settings/ Add-ons/ My Add-ons/ PVR Clients/ PVR IPTV Simple Client
    - Click "Enable"

    Channels and Guide will reload

    They're both working. You can check them both in your browser. Try deleting guide and channel data and restarting. The other Acid address is working fine, too. It downloaded data earlier today.

    It shouldn't. Either way, it should be the same file.

    This TV Guide situation sucks with this provider. every day there is a problem - i have to clear cache or reboot every day to get the guide to work. some days the time is not sync. i now added the URL and its working now. you are correct. i am new to IPTV i am quickly finding out the Guide is not consistent

    These guides are done by volunteers on their own time and dime. They're not asking for anything in return. Moreover, I do not have the guide issues that you have, so I wonder what is going on at your end. I don't believe the criticism is warranted.
