It feels like I have done everything possible to get this to work ... but now I am at a point where I think I need to ask here.

So I am setting up danish tv stream channels as "live" tv channels. I have the m3u file working and the channel logos are in place.
But I cant get the epg/guide to work. I pointed the path to dr.dk's xmltv xml and I even tried to download it and point it to the local path
none of it works. I have changed id/name in the m3u file to match the id/channel in the xml file ... does not work either.

is is a part from the m3u file:
#EXTM3U tvg-shift=1
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="dr.dk/mas/whatson/channel/DR1" tvg-name="dr.dk/mas/whatson/channel/DR1" tvg-logo="DK-dr-1-logo.png" group-title="Group 1",DR 1

and part from the xmltv xml file (with that channel)
<tv xmlns="http://xmltv.org" xmlns:m_mcs="http://xmltv.org" date="20170206" source-info-url="http://www.dr.dk/programtiltryk" source-info-name="DR" generator-info-name="DR PPG">
<channel id="dr.dk/mas/whatson/channel/DR1">
<display-name>DR1</display-name>
<url>http://www.dr.dk/DR1</url>
</channel>

and program example:
<programme start="20170206041500" pdc-start="" channel="dr.dk/mas/whatson/channel/DR1">
<title lang="DA">DR-Friland: Finish på Frilandshuset</title>


so what am I missing?

Thanks.

Hi,

The problem is you dont have stop times in the xmltv file. So you current program example is:

<programme start="20170206041500" pdc-start="" channel="dr.dk/mas/whatson/channel/DR1">
<title lang="DA">DR-Friland: Finish på Frilandshuset</title>

now it should be like this:

<programme start="20170206041500" stop"20170206043000" pdc-start="" channel="dr.dk/mas/whatson/channel/DR1">
<title lang="DA">DR-Friland: Finish på Frilandshuset</title>

- I dont know how you update youre xmltv file, but you could use tv_sort to add the stop times.

Anders,

Thank you!

It was a pre-populated xml that I downloaded. So now I downloaded xmltv and fetched the data and now the epg works.
(Just need to tweak the time shifting a bit)

The Simple IPTV addon does seam to make kodi unstable a bit when it loads the xml anybody else who experienced that?

But thanks again.
