EPG Not Showing or Loading — Fix Guide for All IPTV Players

EPG Not Showing Loading — The EPG (Electronic Program Guide) shows what’s playing now and upcoming on each channel. If your EPG is missing, blank, or showing wrong times, this guide will help you fix it.

EPG Not Showing Loading: What Is the EPG? #

The EPG (also called TV Guide) is a 7-day schedule showing what’s airing on each channel — like a digital TV listings magazine built into your IPTV app.

Step 1: Force EPG Update #

TiviMate #

1. Open Settings → EPG
2. Click Update Now
3. Wait 1-3 minutes for download

IPTV Smarters Pro #

1. From home screen, select your profile
2. Choose Refresh User Info & EPG
3. Wait for completion

GSE Smart IPTV #

1. Settings → EPG
2. Click Update EPG

Step 2: Check Time Zone #

If EPG times are wrong (e.g. shows are listed at the wrong hour), your time zone may be misconfigured:

1. In IPTV app, go to Settings → EPG → Time Zone
2. Set to your local time zone (or use Auto)
3. If the option isn’t in the app, check your device’s time zone in system settings

Step 3: Add EPG URL Manually #

Some apps require you to add the EPG URL separately from the playlist. If your EPG is missing, contact Stremzi support for the EPG URL.

1. Receive EPG URL from support
2. In IPTV app, go to Settings → EPG → Add EPG URL
3. Paste the URL
4. Save and update EPG

Step 4: Wait for Initial Load #

EPG data can be 5-50 MB. On slower connections, the first download may take 5-10 minutes. Be patient on first install.

Step 5: Check Channel Has EPG Data #

Not every channel has EPG. EPG availability depends on the source. If a few channels show “No Programme Information”, that’s normal — most major channels have EPG, but some niche or international channels may not.

Step 6: Restart App #

1. Force-close your IPTV app
2. Clear app cache
3. Reopen
4. Wait 5 minutes for EPG to load

Step 7: Re-add Playlist with EPG Enabled #

Some apps don’t fetch EPG automatically with M3U URLs. Use Xtream Codes login instead — it includes EPG data automatically.

1. Remove existing playlist
2. Add new playlist using Xtream Codes instead of M3U URL
3. EPG should load automatically

Recommended EPG Settings #

• Enable Auto-update EPG (every 12 or 24 hours)
• Enable Show EPG in channel list
• Set EPG Time Format to 24h or AM/PM as you prefer
