Issue with IPTV EPG.

[bshiers82501 0]

I have Emby setup with an IPTV Provider. I am using xtream editor to edit the m3u file to only get the channels I want out of it. I then late the m3u and EPG urls into emby. I have refreshed guide data and I see the channels in the guide but no guide data. I’m clearly doing something wrong. Running emby server on windows 7.

Just as a guess in the meantime, do you need to map the channels to the guide ?

Yes the channels most likely need to be mapped. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

When I bring up the channel mapping window it’s blank.

Sounds like there is an error in one or both of the files(urls)

 

If you look at the log in an editor like notepad++ you will be able to see the error (if there is one). It will tell you what line number and what character position.

That's what I'm seeing I'm guessing it's an issue on the remote end?  The listings do pull in if I use the same link with xteve though.
