UPDATE Jan. 29th 2023
So another small update, had some time over this weekend and did a bit of maintenance on the guide, so starting today You guys will have an option to choose what guide you want to chose.
Maybe you're outside of US and watch only Spanish speaking channels or vice versa, same with UK channels maybe you don't need all the Spanish speaking channels etc.
So you got a choice now, I did a little split on the guide into few sections:
US_guide.xml.gz which is for US channels only (and some Canadian ones).
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/US_guide.xml.gz
UK_guide.xml.gz is with UK channels only.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/UK_guide.xml.gz
Latino_guide.xml.gz is for Spanish speaking channels.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/Latino_guide.xml.gz
And of course you got the original with all the channels in it.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/guide.xml or compressed version
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/guide.xml.gz
The new guides are 7 days in advance as opposed to 24 hours on the combined one, that's why their compressed.
Original URL for the EPG did NOT change.
Hope all of you have a great rest of the weekend or an awesome start of new week where ever you are in the world.

Hi aj,
Hope things are good with you!
Just checked out your guide files, just for curiosity sake, as I no longer use this Provider, but could not download from GitHub.
If you remove the last forward slash (.xml/ or .gz/), there's no problems. *Just FYI!
Nice work *****
Cheers!

Hello Everyone! I have been running IPTV Smarters and native EPG so far mostly w/o any issues. I was curious and tried these, but I couldn’t get them to work. Pardon my ignorance, are they Firestick compatible? Thanks!

I think it should work fine with IPTV Smarters but I'm 100% sure. Not using iptv smarters.
Are you getting any errors while loading EPG from the github repo? Which adres are you using for the guide?
Is it getting populated but no info is showing?
Nothing has been changed on my end.

Thanks aCID for your work and a speedy answer; I tried the General one then US variant doublechecking & making sure to use exactly those links provided. No errors were shown, just “updating” ending after some 30-40sec. with a message “downloaded” and “0” channels found. Guide to NO INFO in every channel; Tested on both, a Firestick 4K Max and IOS; it could very well be a glitch specific to Smarters, who knows. BTW, It wasn’t mentioned it in my 1st, but I truly appreciate your dedication.. :)

Hey Twisted,
I have no way of testing iptv smarters, I mean I have the basic ver. not the pro. so I'm unable to load external EPG source.
I know the guide works on Tivimate (app I use) and I just tested today the guide on Kodi 18.9 (request from one of the users here)
I tested both the 24 hour uncompressed one and the seven day compressed one all seem to work on both mentioned programs.
Maybe try another app? I'm not shilling in anyway Tivimate but it's well worth the lifetime sub and with that sub you can install Tivimate on up to five devices.
Thank you for your kind words :) I'm just sharing with the community, why keep sh*t to yourself when you can share it so others can enjoy it.
Have a great evening/night/morning buddy, take care. Let us know what solution did you end up with.

Late, aCID, but here :)
Tested Tivimate; as you said, works.It is a shame doesn’t with Smarters. Maybe someone eventually bring it to developers attention and a they will hopefully find a solution to deal with the issue. Again thanks for your help!

UPDATE Mar. 11th 2023
How's everybody doing? You guys smell that spring in the air? Because I don't, not yet lol..
I got soo blazed this morning that I decided to fill all the US local channels that our service provides...
I've include all those channels in the regular guide and then you get the extended version in .gz
US_local_guide.xml.gz is for all the US local channel that Rocket, NFPS and IPTV66 services provide
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/US_local_guide.xml.gz
With this guide you get 168 hours (7 days) worth of EPG for local channels.
Hope all of you have a great rest of the night...rest of the weekend don't forget to spring your clocks forward if you live in one of those countries that actually observe this strange rule? law?
Let's get this spring rolling in...we need that Vitamin D from the sky ;)

Hey all,
I noticed this morning that last pull was a bit smaller so I went to investigate and I noticed that some of the lineups are not getting pulled because of the issue on the providers side. Nothing I can do about it.
It has nothing to do with last nights updates. Just a provider issue. As soon as they fix that, I'll do a new manual pull and we should be good to go.
So sit tight, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it's out of my hands. Have a great Sunday all.

I have been using this service for years now, and I don’t think I have ever seen so many local channels with actual guide information.
Amazing job Sir. Also, there is a small number of Cinema streams that I always assumed had the wrong guide information, but recently realized guide info is correct. But wrong channel is streaming. So Kudos to you again Champ.

No problem.. doing what I can to help out the community.
I hope some of the users will have a use for it. Had some time so why not right? :)
Now it's onto Canadian local channels :) I got some already filled in. I just need to get the rest of it and we should be good to go. We still missing some of the Spanish speaking channels but I'm working on it.
As for the wrong streams yeah I noticed that, it had me baffled for a while but then I took a closer look at those channels and like you said the guide is right just the stream is incorrect.
Have a great Tuesday and rest of the week :)

UPDATE May 15th 2023
How's everybody doing on this fine Monday morning? Hope all of you guys and gels doing great, enjoying the nice weather (I hope is nice)
I was checking the guide this morning and I noticed there was a issue with one of the providers and I see lot's of local and Canadian channels are missing the info from the guide.
This is from the provider:
Issue as of 5/15/23, 7:05 AM ET:
We are aware of the intermittent issues with the grid loading (the "oops" message). We are working on the issue and apologize for the inconvenience. No need to contact us about this issue, just check this page for updates.
So we're just have to wait it out, next pull is at noon so we'll see if they get the issue sorted out by then. But like I said I'm aware of the issue but it's out of my hands and we'll just have to wait for the provider to fix the issue.
Have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening where ever you are :)

Hey aCID, I'm having a problem with all my donations of not having a EPG Guide of yours that have worked for me for years. The last 2-3 days I have no guide on my Kodi sticks. Just wondering if something went wrong ? Much Thanks my friend. andkaal:rolleyes:

Hey All,
Sorry for the inconvenience the lack of EPG might cos you, but I was on vacation and the VPN tunnel on my server went down while I was away so the machine couldn't reach the outside world.
As soon as I got home last night after driving for 16 hours straight I got the things working again so everything should be back to normal.

Thanks aCID. But still not getting any info. on what is on. All channels work fine, but no information on each channel except the PPV's. All blank. Your guide is one of the best and I used it for years. Maybe check it out for Fire TV sticks. Thanks my friend andkaal:rolleyes:
aCiDjEsUs
07-04-2023, 02:36 PM
Can some other users please check if the guide is showing up or not? I'm getting the EPG on my end but andkaal has some issues on his Firesticks with the guide not showing any info. Would be nice if someone else cheep in on this one. :) Pretty please haha
andkaal is correct. no epg except ppv's
however, with my modified hard copy without dash and underscore its showing guide. :)
so this time problem was on both ends.
1. server side changed from _ to -
2. acid network issue.
so all can use hardcopy without - and underscore and should be fine :)
those who dont know how to modify hard copy then you can just shrink url up to m3u and delete _plus$output=ts part from your url. with this you will loose logos and groups :)
example.

This is strange, I'm getting the guide info on both of my boxes, Shield and X5 both running TiviMate latest version. I don't use any other boxes or different apps so I can't comment on that.
So beside VPN going out on my end nothing else changed. It's all automated, so it has to be something on iptv server end.
I know they were working on the server per announcements but that's all I know if they changed something on their end I wouldn't know..
aCiD
what buzztv app version do you have on X5?
aCiDjEsUs
07-04-2023, 04:01 PM

I don't use buzztv app I use Tivimate on that X5 but to my knowledge all is up to date.

Good morning all,
As every morning I always check if there was no issues with the guide being pushed to git, but this morning I noticed that there's problem puling info from Schedules Direct. Nothing changed on my end so it has to be SD.
I tired a manual pull to see if that might help but to no avail, still getting the same error. So I'm just going to wait and see if it get's fixed before I contact the support team over at SD.

I'll wait till I get back from work and see if they'll fix the issue. If not I'll have to change the provider for those channels, will wait and see.

BT Sport 1 & 2 is now TNT Sports, our service reflects that change, so it should show TNT Sports not BT Sport. As for the Pick channel it showing the guide how it should. It's UK - Pick so maybe check your playlist?

First, just want to say thanks to AcidJesus for his continued contributions to keeping the EPG working and updated. This is an inquiry and NOT a complaint. But I often notice a hand full of streams, especially in the cinema category, either the EPG information doesn’t match what is being streamed. Or the stream doesn’t match the EPG. Just curious if this may be due to a time difference or Geo Location the cause. Just wondering and much appreciated.

If it's off by 3 hours that's the source playing the wrong timezone feed.

Good morning ADP0361,
Yeah I noticed that to, I checked few times if the right guide is showing for that particular channels and it is, but the feed is wrong or like Big Mac said it's off by three hours.
Nothing was changed on my end, I'm still pulling the guide in UTC time, so when You pull the guide on your end it should automatically adjust to your timezone.
But for some time now I see sometimes that channels are showing the wrong feed or it's behind few hours. It looks like the video feed is somewhere from the West coast of US and that's why we getting the three hour difference. But I might be wrong.

No worries Crazed, will figure it out.
I don't think GitHub will unlock that repo so I'm just going to make a new one, it kinda sucks that users will have to change their EPG address a bit but it is what it is.
If all goes well, we should be back with the guide this evening or tomorrow morning, as soon as I get back from work I'll start making the changes.
For now I'll stick with github will see how that goes.

So unfortunately GitHub did not enabled the Repo back on, so I had to make a new one and that came with a new URL for the EPG
Links above should reflect the new URL for the guide, actually the only thing that changed in the address is
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPGTalk/master/guide.xml
But if you're to lazy to go back to the first page in this thread ;) here are the new URL's :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPGTalk/master/US_local_guide.xml.gz
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPGTalk/master/US_guide.xml.gz
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPGTalk/master/UK_guide.xml.gz
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPGTalk/master/Latino_guide.xml.gz

thxs Acid Jesus. I had just found and started to use this about a week ago and had just finished getting the epg and icons working for my playlists when it had gone down. So nice to be able to just change the url a bit to have everything back working again.
I believe just adding the last link (code) you posted, ......................../guide.xml would be the same as adding all the other links? (It's all encompassing?) Or would there be any benefit in adding all the codes? My playlists include US, CA and UK content...

Hey Big,
/guide.xml is combined guide for most of the channels (US, Canada, Latin America and UK) but there's only 24hrs worth of data. (EPG renews every six hrs)
Other guides in the repository are individual guides for each country, they're compressed and have 72-168hrs worth of data.
So if you don't watch any of the Spanish speaking channels or UK channels. You can use the US guide or vice versa if you don't need English speaking channels then use the Latin America one.
US and Canadian channels are under one guide.

Hey Big,
/guide.xml is combined guide for most of the channels (US, Canada, Latin America and UK) but there's only 24hrs worth of data. (EPG renews every six hrs)
Other guides in the repository are individual guides for each country, they're compressed and have 72-168hrs worth of data.
So if you don't watch any of the Spanish speaking channels or UK channels. You can use the US guide or vice versa if you don't need English speaking channels then use the Latin America one.
US and Canadian channels are under one guide.

thxs AcidJesus,
that clears it up a bit. I wouldn't mind having a bit more than 2 days worth of programming, so may change from the guide.xml to the US, UK and CA xml's.
I'm using tivimate with about half a dozen providers. (maybe a bit of overkill...) Would you suggest getting rid of the guide.xml and adding the 3 other .xml's for US, UK and CA? Would you use one as default in tivimate, then have the others as well? Or maybe keep the default guide.xml as default and just add the other US, UK, and CA epg.xml's?
With tivimate it seems you can have one default and still have other epg's as well... I may have to experiment a bit. I have a couple other epg's listed as well. But yours seems to have the nicest icons and best data info it seems. So I have it set as default. Is it possible there may be a few different channels in the US, UK and CA epg's that may not be in the guide.xml?
thxs for answering my questions!

Hey Big,
I personally use the default /guide.xml because it has all the channels that I watch, and don't really need guide data for the future. I don't really record anything besides sports games once in a while.
US and CA channels are combined into one US guide.
It's up to you which one you want to use, number of channels is the same just with more data (more days), the default guide is all guides combined into one with all the channels but with only 24hrs worth of data. The other guides are the same but with only that countries channels and more data (more days).
You can combine them all and see the end result, but if you only watch English speaking channels and don't really need Spanish speaking channels then I would just go for the US guide as default one and You can use the UK one for the UK channels and you get a lot more data that way.
It all depends what works for you the best. Like I said before I don't need to see whats playing in a week or so, I just need to see what's on today/tonight and maybe tomorrow, hope that helps a bit.
If you got any more questions you know where to find me.
TC have a great day/afternoon/evening where ever you are in the world.

First of all love the guide and really apreaciate the work you have done to create it, it improves my Tivimate expereince massively!
Just a question though, there are quite a lot of channels where I can find no EPG source and I'm wondering if its just that they have not been included or if I am doing something wrong? I'm in the UK and I have entered the US_guide, UK_guide and the master/guide as EPG sources with the UK_guide as default, but I have no EPG options for these channels: UKd: Discovery Channel, Discovery History, Discovery Science, Discovery Shed, Discovery Turbo, UK Eden, UK Nat Geo Wild, UK Quest, UK Quest Red, UK Sky Nature, UK Sky Sports Action, UK Sky Sports Arena, UK CNN, UK DAZN, UK beIN Sports.
To be clear, this is not a complaint I can live with it as it is as my providers EPG souce covers some of the missing channels but that EPG doesnt have the pretty channel thumbnail icons which I like.

Hey Oldzskool,
I'm sorry for getting back to you a day later but we got some fresh POW and I couldn't miss that.
You don't see those channels info (tv guide) because those channels are not included with the guide.
I only include channels from these private servers Rocket, NFPS and IPTV66.
So if the channels is not included and I don't see that channels then that channel would not be included in the guide.
For me to include a specific channel, I would have to know the exact name of that particular channel. It has to be the same how it appears in your playlist.

I noticed the missing channels I asked about above have been added, thank you very much Acid!
However, is there an issue with the epg? When I assign to a channel I get a logo but "No Information".
Also, all my channels have defaulted back to my providor's epg which has decent information but no logos.

I add those channels the very next day, as for the epg I just checked and everything is fine on my end.
Maybe there were some changes to your iptv app or playlist? Nothing was changed on my side. And for me to get the logos from epg I have to check a box in TiviMate if not checked it defaults to playlist logos.
