EPG Logos Missing? Fix IPTV Channel Logos
Restore missing channel logos in IPTV guides. Confirm tvg-logo tags, logo URLs, and player logo settings.
Why are my IPTV channel logos missing?
Quick Answer: Most missing logos are caused by empty tvg-logo tags or broken image URLs in the M3U. Add valid logo URLs or map logos in your player settings.
Logos come from tvg-logo URLs in the playlist, not the EPG file.
Channel logos are pulled from the tvg-logo field in your M3U or from a player-specific logo mapping. If that URL is missing or blocked, logos will not appear in the guide.
Check tvg-logo tags in the M3U
Open your playlist and confirm each channel includes a tvg-logo URL. The link must be publicly accessible and point to a valid image format like PNG or JPG.
Validate logo URLs
Paste a tvg-logo URL into a browser to confirm it loads. If it returns 403 or 404, replace it with a working logo source.
Use player logo mapping tools
Many IPTV apps allow manual logo mapping. If your playlist is missing logos, use the app settings or a playlist editor to apply a logo pack.
Clear cache after changes
Logos are cached aggressively. Clear the app cache or rebuild the channel list after updating logo URLs to see the changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EPG file contain logos?
Usually no. Logos are typically stored in the M3U as tvg-logo URLs. Some providers include logos in separate packs.
What image size works best for logos?
Square PNGs around 200 to 400 pixels are a safe choice for most players. Large images slow loading.
Why do some logos appear and others do not?
The missing ones usually have broken tvg-logo URLs. Replace those URLs with working images.
