EPG for US and UK Channels

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
Code:
[B]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/US_local_guide.xml.gz[/B]

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 :)

We're back in business boys and girls :)

It seems that the issue has been resolved, I just did a manual pull and all seems back to normal with missing channels back with info.
So that would be it for tonight :)

Have a good rest of the evening everybody and let's have a awesome Tuesday ;) Take care people.

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:
