How the guide reaches your player: How to Add EPG to TiviMate

Providers publish guide data as an XMLTV file. Xtream Codes logins usually pull it in automatically, while M3U playlists often need the guide link pasted in by hand. Each channel carries an ID that has to match an entry in that file, so one channel with empty listings is normally a mismatch rather than a missing show.

IPTV Strong 8K supplies guide data for about 99% of its channels, and catch-up keeps the last 7 days available on channels that support it, so a missed program is often still there to play.

Work through these

How to Add EPG to TiviMate: Work through these

  • Refresh the guide. Open the player’s EPG or TV guide settings and start a manual update.
  • Add the guide link. On an M3U playlist, paste the XMLTV link that came with your login into the EPG source field.
  • Fix the time offset. If listings are a few hours out, set the guide’s time shift to match your time zone.
  • Schedule a daily update. Set the guide to refresh once a day so the grid never runs dry.
  • Clear the stored guide. If listings are stuck, clear the guide cache or remove and re-add the EPG source.
  • Report a missing channel. If one channel still shows nothing, send its name to IPTV Strong 8K on WhatsApp so its guide ID can be checked.

Reading the signs

How to Add EPG to TiviMate: Reading the signs

  • An empty grid after setup: the guide hasn’t downloaded yet, or the M3U playlist has no guide link attached.
  • Listings that stop after a few days: the automatic update is off or failing.
  • The wrong shows on a channel: two channels share a guide ID, or the channel is mapped to another region’s listings.
  • Times a few hours out: a time-zone offset between the guide and the device.

FAQ

Questions About How to Add EPG to TiviMate

Not covered here? Send it on WhatsApp and a person on the support desk will answer, any hour of the day.

Does a big guide slow the player down?

It can on low-memory sticks. Limit the guide to the next few days and hide channel groups you don’t watch, and the player loads faster.

Do I need a separate guide subscription?

No. With IPTV Strong 8K the guide data comes with the login; on an M3U playlist you just add the XMLTV link supplied alongside it.

Why are the listings a few hours off?

The guide and your device disagree about the time zone. Most players have a time-offset setting for the guide; adjust it until the current show lines up.

Why does the guide show “no information” on some channels?

The channel’s ID doesn’t match an entry in the guide file, or the broadcaster doesn’t publish listings. A refresh fixes the first case; the second needs the provider to map the channel.
