Lol. I found them about 5 minutes before you posted my friend. I’ve deleted plex and samsung because they don’t have enough of what I want. I can see free isn’t going to fly in Tivimate. I’m serious when I tell ya Ola TV works way better using Ludio and KShaw than Tivimate using any playlist. Although Pluto has less buffering than the others.

Yeah, I may give OLA another shot. What is Ludio and KShaw? Are these apps to store your favorites?

Ola TV is your source aggregator. It contains all the Servers with content. So it supplies your sources. These sources come and go but I’ve spent hours testing each one and have learned how to determine if a server has what I want.
KShaw is like a stripped down IPTV “stream initiator/aggregator”. It’s where you add your favourites. You cannot do anything with this app though, absolutely no option rich features like Tivimate. On the other hand it initiates and connects to the sources smoothly. Now you can add your paid services in KShaw and maybe the free playlists as well, I simply don’t know how with all the things you need to enter like name, password, portal etc. But it does a much better job initiating connections than Tivi. It does not play the source it just makes the connection and controls the connection only.
Ludio is your player. It has options, but as I only use it because this is the player chosen by the Ola team, and it works perfectly and simply, I haven’t looked closely at those options. It plays the stream and does so with little to no buffering. After jumping in with Tivimate I think I’ll get into Ludio and have a second look.
Now all three join together to give me a simple, easy to use, interface, the sole purpose of which is to play your source smoothly with the best quality possible and very little buffering. No fancy options to organize or anything, just a focus on giving you a no buffer experience.

That’s one, but don’t get to excited. For some reason Canada has very few channels. US and UK show way more.

Here is a playlist with 142 channels and below that is an epg with 430 channels. I assign ALL my epg url’s to all playlist. So if you have paid services, or more freebie epg url’s go ahead and assign them to all your playlist. Just prioritize them with the lead epg being the one that is dedicated for that specific playlist. In other words, make this CA epg be in the #1 spot in priority. I use 16 different epg’s to help populate my playlists. Keep in mind, not all epg’s are coded the same way and may not be compatible with some playlists. Don’t worry though, you can’t hurt anything.

There are only 94 channels in the USTVGO playlist and there are only b94 channels in the epgsparkle list. All of them have this prefix: USTVGO: US: You can type that into channel names editor>>Prefixes to remove. Then all of the 94 channels will lose that prefix. But I still needed to go in to “Assign EPG” and assign a specific channel.
If you are talking about the other playlist with over 1,100+ channels and NO epg assigned. Then no way am I going to go to each individual channel to search for an epg. I MAY? create a favorites list and then see how many channels will load an epg. Then decide whether I want to fool around with assigning the empty ones. But there is no way I am going to look for 1,122 channels individually! Shoot, I am not even certain I am going to keep that playlist on my player anyway. I already have 10-11 other urls with epgs that have the same content. So I am just making copies of what I already have in place and complete with working epg’s.
I only wanted the USTVGO playlist with a working epg, and I finally got it done! The other playlist is just some fluff for those who either don’t care about not having epg and just want a bunch of channels. Although that playlist does have a whole bunch of local major channels!
In fact, my cursor is floating right on the delete playlist button as I am typing this! lol
Btw, that 1,122 url only has about 15 Canadian channels and about 134 UK channels which I am totally not interested in. The USA channels are mostly stuff I already have loaded on my Tivimate, and am not too interested in some local ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox station out of Oklahoma or some other far off location. But there may be some folks who like to watch stuff from all over the land.

Ive added these epg’s to tivimate with some success. Ive also enabled all epgs for all playlist. This could possibly cause a slowdown but so far im still seeing population of channel guides. Time will tell…

Yes! Use what you have. Some epg’s are better than others. I have 2 of these already installed, but I will add the directtv one now. Thanks! Btw, is that spelled directv or is it directtv. Local channels are always the tuff ones to find. Also, there are a lot of channels from weird sources that I have no clue where they come from like Lonestar tv, Freebie TV, Haunt Tv, and so on. What I usually do with these rouge urls is make a favorites list of channels that I like and an epg has generated. Then I might look for a few channels that interest me and see if I can find an epg for them. I mean, really, how many channels after the 1st 15K are you really going to watch!? LOL

I have 100% of the channels with an accurate active epg. Took me about 20 minutes of fooling with it while I was watching Fox news and making my dinner.

I’m watching this horror channel on this new m3u I just installed, and I doubt seriously if I am going to find an epg for a channel named “Bloody Disgusting”! I mean, really, who ever heard of a channel named that!? I think these guys sit around smokin’ pot and come up with stupid names just to get a laugh!
