Is here a way on tivimate to have program guide show what’s playing instead of no information same thing with iptv smarters thanks just starting to get involved in ipt
You’re at the mercy of your iptv provider.
Welcome to the community.
Your epg is based on your iptv provider, you will need to speak to them, sometimes it takes awhile to load.
Any m3u or playlist provided by a iptv service is also handled by them. Like @pangaeatech you are at their mercy.
Its why i said what i did. Nothing much you can do if you use a paid service.
Yeah Mik… no diffrnce
U just add to EPG sources in plylist, like youve been doing
Ive got 6 sources 2 are paid (rarely use free)
Paid epg’s are superior
hth…
You are if you are using their epg with their service. Its not superior. You get what you get with a paid service. Sometimes its good sometimes its not. Its all in how they get there content and how they maintein it.
I’ve tried adding epgs from sources other than the embedded xtream code from my iptv subscriber they came in & they didn’t work for me…that’s not to say that they don’t work…I just haven’t had any luck with them.
The EPG On my provider has been down a few days now. Yesterday the US Entertainment guide was succesfully rebuilt and is being tested for stability before the other categories rebuild
So if you load multiple epg’s how do you combine them so you don’t have to to each one and change it to default
Yeah I’ve been having issues with my paid source lately too. One of my go to resources for missing EPG info is Zap2it.com, https://tvlistings.zap2it.com. I have a tablet handy with the url bookmarked and setup with all my favorite channels from my local cable/satellite provider starred.
Works pretty well for me when needed. At least I can know what’s on when my IPTV EPG source is down.
Yes! I still have active epg’s from past paid providers that I no longer use, and they still update. Those will work until the provider gets around to deleting them. I don’t think epg’s are a high priority to them? Maybe because an epg doesn’t take up too much resource on their servers like a playlist would do? 
Btw, I have many channels’ epg’s that I have substituted with free and other paid epgs.
@LoneWolf Have had Zap2it on my laptop for years & I do the same thing if my epgs go all squirrelly on me…wish they had an M3U we could slap into our players, as they are a pretty solid guide.
Agreed. It would be awesome if they had a loadable EPG.
There is a paid service where they will make an epg for you and host it for about $2-$3 bucks month.
Great topic, my understanding is if I download a playlist that does not attach an epg, I can use multiple epgs? And I can enable all the epgs with one playlist? Funny how I enjoyed my firestick before paid iptv….seems all I’m doing is finding a working epg!
@Miki I’ve been slowly adding playlists and EPG’s to my tivimate and still have quite a few channels with no EPG especially on a lot of the sports. Is that just the way it is that no matter how many EPG’s you enable on a playlist you will still see a lot of a non-functioning part of the guide?
I am no where near the #EPG’s you have and maybe have 6 or so, so maybe I just need to upgrade my EPG Game! LOL
Sports are going to tough to find. What country are wanting?
Nothing Specific just in general but I can find the times and channels for anything I want to watch from a few bookmarked sites on the Web. Really digging the iptv side of things for Local Channels and live Sports
just did this one - works really well; thanks! guess i’ll add the epg’s i deleted, so as to have more options to search…
If you go into the lift side of Es File Explorer, you’ll see ADD. If you should put any url in it, you could use it as a Book Mark. You can use 100’s of url right there to make a lot of bookmark. Even USTVGO. It works well there
