How to Set Up EPG (TV Guide) for IPTV in TovutiTV Player
Get a full TV guide (EPG) in TovutiTV Player — how XMLTV EPG works, why guides sometimes show up empty, and how to map channel IDs.
An Electronic Program Guide (EPG) transforms a raw list of channels into an interactive TV experience with programme descriptions, start/end schedules, and catch-up indicators.
How TovutiTV Player Handles EPG
TovutiTV Player matches your channel's tvg-id attribute against the XMLTV schedule data. It downloads EPG data asynchronously in background workers, caching a rolling 4-day window so channel browsing remains instant.
If your provider includes an EPG URL with your Xtream or M3U source, TovutiTV Player detects and configures it automatically with zero manual input required.
