[Help] PVR Simple Client on Fire TV not loading channels from Stalker after leaving it on one channel

by lifeoutofbalance

I'm trying to figure out why Simple Client stops loading IPTV Stalker channels after a while. As soon I startup Kodi all my channels load fine, but if I play any channel for 5 minutes or more, and go back to try another, all I get is the loading box and then it disappears. It happens with all the channels I try after that.

Switching channels within few seconds works fine. The problem happens after leaving it on one channel or loading a Movie from any add-on.

I've tried deleting cache, resetting guide and channel data, deleting cache from NFPF folder, disabling/enabling Simple client. Still nothing.

Any ideas what's wrong?

I feel your pain on this one.

I have found that this only happens on the android, ipad and openelec versions of Kodi. The guide will suddenly stop switching channels with no errors. I can still watch through the IPTV Stalker plugin though, but what's the point?

I don't have this problem in Windows.

If someone has a solution, that would be wonderful.

I think I found the solution, but you should check it out too.

Go into Settings->TV->Guide

Change number of days to display to 1. Also, don't cache the guide to the local database.

Works for me.
