How EPG data works: How to Update EPG on 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 Update EPG on 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.
What the symptoms mean
How to Update EPG on TiviMate: What the symptoms mean
- 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.
