NFL Sunday Ticket not showing guide

[mostrow 9]

Title explains it. I can see all the Sunday ticket NFL channels under "Channels" in my app(s) but not under "Guide". I'd like them to be in the guide so I can see when the games are on and make it easy to record the games.

Anyone aware of a fix for this?

Thanks!

Hi, can tuner source and guide data are you using?

[mostrow 9]

I've created both the source and the guide on iptveditor.com.

And did you check the contents of the xml data that it created? That’s usually what this kind of thing comes down to.

Yes. It's the same output as on the regular US Local channels which are coming up just fine. 

Could it be because there is no stream 100% of the time -- only when the games come on?

What did you find when you looked at the xml? I think if you look closely enough you’ll find that there’s no data for the time slot that you’re looking at and that’s why the guide is empty.

Here's a sample of a channel that is working fine in the guide:

<channel lang="en" id="ABC.(WJLA).District.of.Columbia.us">

<display-name>ABC (WJLA) District of Columbia</display-name>

<display-name>ABC (WJLA) District of Columbia</display-name>

</channel>

Here's one that is not showing on the guide:

<channel id="NFL-CincinnatiBengals.us">

<display-name>NFL - Cincinnati Bengals</display-name>

<display-name>NFL Cincinnati Bengals</display-name>

<icon src="https://media.starlite.best/nfl.cin.us.png"/>

</channel>

They look the same to me.

I'm a complete dummy. SORRY.

The guide was filtering ONLY US Local Channels.

When I switched it to "ALL" the NFL channels popped up!

I had the same thing in Emby with IPTV Editor. Clearing guide filters and switching the view to All fixed most. I also matched the XMLTV channel id to the m3u tvg-id, refreshed guide data, and restarted the server. Sports channels often have gaps, so enable show channels with no data and verify the server timezone. When the guide flakes before big games I keep a backup plan. For fight nights, I’ve grabbed UFC Tickets on a marketplace with clear pricing, quick support, and a solid guarantee.
