How to Add an EPG (TV Guide) to Your IPTV App
An Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) is an interactive on-screen TV guide that displays scheduled programming times, show titles, and episode summaries.
In This Guide:
What Is an EPG and Why Is It Essential?
Without an active EPG, your player app only displays channel names without indicating what is currently broadcasting or coming up next.
A populated EPG allows you to set programme reminders, browse upcoming football fixtures, and view programme descriptions.
Do You Need a Separate EPG URL with FluxMedia4K?
If using M3U links in VLC or standalone players, our team provides an automated XMLTV EPG link that refreshes daily schedules over HTTPS.
How to Fix Missing EPG or Incorrect Show Times
In TiviMate or IPTV Smarters settings, locate 'EPG Time Shift' or 'Time Offset'. If show times are 5 hours ahead of your local time in New York, set the offset to -5 hours.
If guide data shows 'No Information', click 'Refresh EPG Sources' to force an immediate XMLTV download from our server.
