Empty EPG - filthycatbox - 2015-01-13
I have installed and configured the IPTV client using a (working) local m3u. I can see the channels populating the channels list in the menu, but no matter what i DO, THE epg data does not show up. done a fresh install, tried a about 10 different m3u lists (both local and online) but cannot fix this.
Below is the log, I'd hugely appreciate any assistance.
Thanks in advance!

It looks like the EPG file isn't correctly formatted.
Code:
18:18:04 T:5732 ERROR: AddOnLog: PVR IPTV Simple Client: Unable parse EPG XML: expected <Unfortunately IPTV Simple wasn't any more specific in the log message. Can you give an example EPG XML file that you've tried?

Edit: Thank you for your help Ned, I have it working now with a regularly updated EPG.

Hello Filthycatbox, How did you get your epg to work?
RE: Empty EPG - filthycatbox - 2015-01-15
Sporadically, yes. Then I changed things and it's fine back to not working.
I'm assuming you're in the same position, so if and when I find a fix for it I'll send you a PM.

I have the same problem. Here is my .3mu:
Code:

http://myurland here is my .xml:

</tv>This is the error I get:

I really can't see what I'm doing wrong.

I discovered recently, that the only way I've gotten this to work is through another add-on. Whilst I added an updated xmltv link, it went back to reading an m3u and XML file from the add-on Israel Live which has listings of around 2000 international channels.
I've still has absolutely zero luck in getting this to work otherwise.

Ok, IM GOING CRAZY!! I hope you guys figured out what is going on. I have kodi installed on my fireTV and have everything working perfectly. I have a HDHomerun hooked up to a antenna in my attic. I happen to get 37 local channels quite well. nonetheless, I have a working m3u file and a working xmltv file for all my local channels. ( i know they work because they work very well in Kodi directly as well as in the TVGuide app) For the life of me I can't get IPTV simple Client to populate the EPG No matter what I try. I don't get an error or anything, just a blank EPG. any help would be GREATLY appreciated... here is a copy of one entry into my m3u file and my xmltv file.
