EPG guide for IPTV don't work anymore

[Przemek 54]

Hello, I noticed that after last upgrade of Emby Server (4.7.10.0) I cannot make epg link work. It refresh very fast and there's no guide. I try all links from that website: https://epg.ovh/
It works great until last upgrade. I can only add file that I download from that website but it will stop working after few days.

Regards.

Hi there, why do you think it stops working?

Because there's no guide if I add link.

Maybe the problem is actually your m3u tuner?

Hi, I'm very sorry I didn't notice that in log. I recently change HDD and now path is different.

Regards.

Hi @Luke, today I have the same problem. Cannot add guide with link, but can add with file. There's some https error in log.

My iptv works great. I have correct path to m3u file.

Mine works fine on pc, but not on the android tv or iPhone apps. Iptv works but there just is no guide data. Do you have to manually set it to refresh on the server or something?

Hi, I have shedule job for refreshing guide in Emby. Some EPG sources cause troubles because program names don't match.

Regards.

Did you try restarting the app after refreshing the guide in the server?

I know that this is an older post at this point, but for what it's worth I just finished going through exactly this issue and was getting quite frustrated with it.

I also apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere...  I just wasn't able to find it and wanted to share the knowledge.

A response from another post lead me down the path that made everything make sense...  No amount of EPG guide messing/configuring was getting ANY of the channels to show up in the guide, even though I could see them all and play them fine through Tags, Channels, etc.
This all started happening to me after I was forced to do an update/reinstall (keeping settings) after a system issue.

It turns out that during the reinstall my guide settings dropped all "Channel Tags".  Once I re-selected my channel tags everything started working again.  I spent hours and hours spread across many days trying to figure this out, but it was that simple.

So, if anyone is having an issue where after an update their guide just disappears, then I'd start by checking here and not by deleting your EPG source or playing around with other EPG providers.  There's a good chance this setting just didn't carry over properly.

Hi, we’ll take a look at this. Thanks .
