🔥 1. Fire Stick EPG Fix
In IPTV Smarters:
Go to the main menu and click “Install EPG”. If it loads but shows wrong times, go to Settings > EPG > Time
Shift. Adjust it by +1 or -1 hour until it matches. 🕒
📱 2. Android Guide
Using TiviMate on Android?
Go to Settings > EPG > EPG Sources. Ensure your source is “Assigned”. You can also add a secondary EPG source
(like a public one) if your provider’s is missing channels. 🤖
Customize your guide
🍎 3. iOS EPG
On iPhone:
In GSE Smart IPTV, go to “EPG Settings”. Make sure “Auto Update EPG” is ON. You can manually force a download if
it’s stuck. 🍏
💻 4. Windows XMLTV
Using VLC?
VLC doesn’t support EPG well. Use the dedicated Smarters app for Windows. It handles the XML data automatically
and displays a nice grid view. 💻
💡 Pro Tips
- 🚀 Clear EPG Cache: If the guide shows yesterday’s shows, clear the EPG cache in settings.
- 🔄 Update Interval: Set your app to update EPG every 24 hours. Doing it more often wastes
data. - 🔗 Shorten URLs: If you have to type an EPG URL, use bit.ly to make it short.
✨ Benefits of EPG
- 📅 Planning: See what’s on tonight.
- ⏺️ Recording: You need EPG data to schedule recordings.
- 🔍 Info: Read plot summaries and cast info.
📊 EPG Status
🔧 Troubleshooting
EPG Not Loading?
Some providers have heavy EPG files. Give it 5 minutes to download fully.
Partial EPG?
If only some channels have info, the issue is with the provider, not you.

Review
“A working EPG is what separates a cheap service from a premium one. If you are using Xtreme Codes login,
the EPG should be automatic. If it’s not, switch to a better app like TiviMate.”
