I set up a custom payload:
\Epg12.db
select idEpg, sTitle from epgtags
Titles are now in the payload. I'm stuck on asking VC if a certain show is on or if it will be on. For example: Are the Blackhawks on? When are the Blackhawks on? Is it possible for VC to tell me something like "The Blackhawks will start at 6pm"?
Thanks!

I have no idea personally. That information may not even be in the Kodi database. There may be another way to query Kodi or maybe you need to scrape a website. I don't have EPG capabilities here.

Here's an example from the payload
<payload>
<value />
<phrase>Mission Unstoppable</phrase>
<subsetmatching>true</subsetmatching>
</payload>
<payload>
<value />
<phrase>Hope in the Wild</phrase>
<subsetmatching>true</subsetmatching>
</payload>
<payload>
<value />
I'm thinking it might be better to ask if something is on and it would search the epg and post the results. Right now I have Xjson.raw > GUI.ActivateWindow > "window": "tvsearch" ,"parameters": [ "epg12db://? ]
Would you happen to know what the parameters should be to perform a search query?
Thanks again!

The only official information that might be able to help will be here:
https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v10
But there does not seem to be much there for the EPG stuff.
You might find it easier and more effective to scrape a web page, assuming you can find one that has programming information appropriate for your area or whatever TV channels you watch.
