Time not updating

[381sharma]

Hi, since last past 24 hours I have noticed the epg is not updating with the time and stuck at 2 PM EST yesterday (10/10). Any idea how to fix it? I changed my PC settings to manual time but still the same result

Any link you use for the guide has nothing to do with the servers and are done by outside parties.When and if they update the guide it's their choice.Servers only provide guide to boxes with a fixed mac address.

Thanks Dogeit for your prompt response and clarification!

If the time in the guide is not updating, it usually indicates guide expired and the timeline has moved to the end.
Clear guide data, or shutdown /restart.
If still the same, your guide source is not updated.

Thanks Ken, cleared multiple times with the same result. I am using yahyabell source as per your setup and looks like the update has stop for some reason.

Then that would go back to what i said.

I confirm, the EPG wasn't updated since October 10.
FYI hxxp://yahyabell.com/ is just a redirection to hxxps://raw.githubusercontent.com/viper8690/epg/master/guide.xml so it's basically the same address.

Here's a little trick to figure out if you are having an EPG issue of your own or if it's the provider that is out-dated.
Using a normal browser go to hxxp://yahyabell.com/, scroll down to the end of the page and look for the last start date.
ie: "start="20171010180000"
It's not perfect but it gave us a good idea of when the EPG received its latest update .

What a coincidence for me, my donation expired like 3 month ago and I decided to renew it the exact day the EPG stop working so I had to dig up a little to make sure the issue wasn't on my side.

Just to follow up on my reply because my issue is now fixed and maybe it will fix yours!?

Thanks to "JoKeRz WilD" & "aCiDjEsUs" there's 2 new functional source for the EPG.

What version of kodi? A few i know have had trouble with the latest 17.4 getting any xml url to work with stalker client. Currently sitting in front of an older android with 16.1 which is working.

17.4 on windows 10, I am going back to 17.3 to see if it changes anything

UPDATE: After several tries, I eventually got it to work. THANK YOU!

It's a hit or miss using stalker client, I love iptv simple with potato TV using Ken's guide in this forum and it works perfectly
