Stalker client: unable to load channels

[dara]

A good tool to that has a file editor is ES File Explorer, so get that from the Google Play store. It includes a note editor. I'm not sure if you really need root access to make this change, but being rooted does help for other things not related to your question.

I did the changes and so far working fine thanks for your help Dara.

Thanks Dara. Was down for two days with stalkerpvr, did the settings.xml changes and back in business. The video plugin worked the whole time, so I wasn't without tv.

I am having the same issues. Started with a fresh install of Kodi 15 RC1. Followed the instructions and it sits on loading channels and the bar does not move then it goes to failed to load channels. I have edited the xml file to 60 then 65 and now 90. I have edited the mac a few times keeping the first 3 sets of numbers default. I have also tried adding http:// to the front of the server url. I have the stalker iptv working on an older version of Kodi without the epg setup and it was working on this other pc until I tried to update everything. Been at it for awhile today and am a bit stuck now. Maybe just go back to the old version with no epg?

The new version (15) works fine.

Here is a copy of my xml file where I edited the MAC address for you.

Be sure that Kodi is fully closed. (wait 30 seconds after closing. Although the program may seem to be closed instantly, it may still be running in the background based on your specific setup).
After 30 seconds. Then delete all the info inside of YOUR xml file.
Then Copy/paste this info into your xml file:

Thanks so much for your help! Looking at your xml I think I am opening the wrong one. I am in kodi/addons/pvr.stalker/resources/settings.

[CableCost$]

LOl. yeah you are going to wrong place. You are going to "addons".

go to "userdata"/ "addon_data"/ pvr.stalker"

[kaguts]

I am using windows 7. Under the userdata folder I only have RSSFEEDS xml. I have allowed all hidden folders.

[CableCost$]

Go to
AppData/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/

You should see 2 files. "cache" & "settings". edit the settings file.

EDIT: right-click on "settings" & open with "notepad" or "wordpad".

[kaguts]

Not sure why but I am opening the correct xml its just laid out differently than in your post. My timeout is set to 90 but the values are not what I have put xbmc. They are default. I also do not see ROAMING in my folders. Strange stuff. I have always figured things out and will eventually get this too. Like I said I have the old XBMC running the stalker without epg and it works still.

The default in xbmc is now 90 and it is still doing the same thing. Im sure Im missing something simple but this is getting to me now.

OK!! I found where I was supposed to make the edit and its done now. Still getting same error though. When the pvr loads up on the top right corner the bar never moves like my other version?
