Third party Guides never load (always default Kodi Guide)

I need some help..

I enabled the Stalker PVR client, and inputted my IPTV m3u remote address, and all my channels load up just fine.

I have also attempted to install a few different EPG Guides, but nowhere in Kodi do I see anything that says EPG..

I have seen videos on YouTube of people installing Guides, and then when they go to Kodi’s main menu, and select Live TV, you can see EPG as a sub category, but I see Guide…

which is another problem I am having. I have tried installing the Mayfair Guide Pro, and it’s as if it wasn’t even installed. Keep in mind that I’m pretty good at understanding Kodi and navigating it..

I’ve tried “TV Guide Fullscreen” as well. and ALWAYS when I load Live TV, it just loads the Kodi built in Guide..so is it like possible to make a 3rd party TV Guide a default guide for Kodi?

Another thing as well, when I have the Timeline view selected, I don’t see a list of shows for each channel and what time they start at.

basically I just see the channel with a channel logo, and then a long blank row for each channel with no information as to what is coming up next on the channel.

So it’s sort of a multipart issue.. lol

If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
