Overview: Guide sources and formats
Guide sources and formats encode programme schedules and supporting service information through different conventions.
XMLTV, supplied guide data and broadcast service-information tables expose different source and field arrangements. A consumer must connect them to its channel identities and clock context. The pages here describe that representation before the server turns it into a displayed schedule.
XMLTV
XMLTV represents channel identities and programme listings in XML, with format-specific timestamps and episode-number systems that a guide importer must interpret.Emby guide data
Emby guide data supplies supported regional programme listings whose lineup selection, station mapping and loaded horizon determine the guide shown by the server.DVB Service Information
DVB Service Information describes broadcast services, programme events and timing context through tables that a receiver must collect, interpret and associate with the selected service.ATSC PSIP
ATSC PSIP connects virtual-channel identity with event descriptions, table-discovery information and a GPS-based system clock in the ATSC 1.0 broadcast environment.
