DiRama Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 My IPTV provides an m3u url and an epg url. The epg url is currently not working on any video players including buzztv5. Is there a way I can use the server settings I currently use and add different epg urls to it.?There is only one line to put in an epg url (which says optional and I don’t know why you would leave that line blank). Does that mean I have to add the same m3u playlist and pick all my favorite settings and channels all over again just to try a new epg? I believe more than one epg source is needed for the favorite channels on my playlist. I hope I have explained this so someone can make sense of it.

dishuser Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 why not try xc api? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiRama Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 I have tried that. Maybe I’m not inputting it correctly. I get a cannot load portal. When I put the m3u playlist in, should I include my username and password or just put those under the lines for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the XC API you put in your username and password for your subscription and then ask your provider for the server URL needed four the xtreme codes portal you will also be able to see the server URL are the very beginning of the link for the M3U the playlist it ends with a / Edited August 15 by DRAG00N519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emporium Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 example, if you were given the following as URLs M3U URL: http://myserver.xyz:2186/get.php?username=johndoe&password=jdpass&type=m3u_plus&output=ts EPG URL: http://myserver.xyz:2186/xmltv.php?username=johndoe&password=jdpass Then for XC you would use for XC, you could use: URL: http://myserver.xyz:2186 username=johndoe password=jdpass And in some cases, if that does not work, try to drop the :2186 on the URL Regarding using a different EPG URL, you can. But that would assume that the channel IDs used in your provider'/s M3U, would match the IDs in the XML for them to line match. You can change the EPG URL as you please, it should not change anything regarding your favorites. It is literally just for the program guide. It is optional, because your channels will still work, even without a program guide. It is obviously better with one, but it will work fine without one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiRama Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 As per the provider website they do not support Xtream code log in. The m3u format is as follows: myserver.xyz/ap/list/username/password/m3u8/livetv epg url: https://epg.myserver.xyz/utc.xml.gz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiRama Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 No it doesn’t. I get “Cannot load portal:not supported “. I really appreciate all the help. I can stream if I enter the info through the m3u portal but as I said no epg. I have some epg urls that work partially, that’s why I would like to add more than one source epg. But I will try to see which one will load the most channels. Thanks again to all who answered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dishuser Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 make a .txt file and save it to usb then pick it when you choose file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whacked Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 another way to use multiple EPG URLs but not at same time is to create new multiple m3u Server slots in the server setup menu with a different EPG in each. Then you'd just have to switch between server slots to change the epg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
