EPG & TV Guide Setup
EPG setup and troubleshooting guides: XMLTV sources, channel mapping, time offset fixes, logos, and refresh optimization.
What’s the fastest way to fix a broken IPTV EPG?
Quick Answer: Start by confirming your provider’s EPG URL, then verify it loads in a browser, add it to your player’s EPG section, and set a 12–24 hour refresh. If the grid is empty or offset, the fixes below target the most common XMLTV and timezone issues.
Most EPG failures are caused by incorrect XMLTV URLs or time offset settings.
A reliable EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is the backbone of a usable IPTV experience. These guides walk you through sourcing XMLTV data, fixing empty grids, aligning time offsets, and optimizing refresh cycles so your guide stays accurate and fast.
