EPGs

Most playlists will come with an EPG and will install when you add the playlist to the app. EPGs can sometimes be a struggle to get working properly. It is very rare for a provider to actually have their own EPG; they generally link an EPG service to theirs. In many cases, you can use a different source and have a better EPG.

Adding an external EPG source gives you more options.
Go to Settings > EPG > EPG Sources, scroll to the bottom and hit Add Source, then add some of these (one at a time):

Now you’ll have a couple more sources to choose from.

In many cases, you can use an EPG from one playlist that works well and assign it to a playlist with a non-working EPG.

To manage EPG sources:

• Go to Settings > Playlists, click on the playlist you want to edit, scroll down to EPG Sources.
• Scroll through your sources and assign the ones you want.
• Change the source priority by moving the best one to the top.
• If you have one that’s not working, unassign it or move it to the bottom.
• Back out to Settings > EPG and scroll to the bottom to hit Update EPG.

This may take some trial and error, but you should eventually find an EPG source that works well. Don’t expect every channel to have an EPG; some don’t have one, such as 24/7 channels.

What the provider names a channel and what the EPG source names it may differ (prefix, suffix, or spelling). If you have a channel not showing the EPG, long press the select button, go to the menu on the right, and scroll down to Assign EPG. You may need to search and type in the channel name. If you have more than one EPG assigned, try them and find the one that works best.

Go to Settings > EPG, scroll to the bottom and see if you have an EPG that failed to update. This is common for several reasons (provider maintenance, connection failed, etc.). If you have one that continues to fail, it may need to be removed. Many times when an EPG fails, it will stop updating so any EPGs that haven’t already updated, won’t update.
