XMLTV EPG setup guide in DaddyTV

EPG helps you see what is on now and what is next in one timeline view. This guide shows how to configure XMLTV EPG in DaddyTV and keep guide mapping stable.

Install first if needed:

Before you start

Prepare:

  • a working IPTV source (M3U, Xtream Codes, or Stalker),

  • a valid XMLTV EPG URL,

  • a few minutes for first guide sync.

DaddyTV is an IPTV player app and does not provide content feeds.

Step 1: Confirm source setup

Make sure channels already load correctly before adding guide data. If needed, start here:

EPG mapping quality depends on correct channel source setup.

Step 2: Add XMLTV source

  1. Open EPG settings in DaddyTV.

  2. Paste your XMLTV URL.

  3. Save configuration.

  4. Run manual refresh.

After refresh, guide entries should appear in TV Guide timeline.

Step 3: Verify guide mapping

Check:

  • channel to program mapping,

  • now/next timeline visibility,

  • consistency across key channel groups.

If some channels are missing guide entries, refresh source and EPG again.

Step 4: Optimize daily guide usage

After EPG is active:

  • keep favorite channels pinned,

  • use timeline jump for faster navigation,

  • combine guide view with category filters.

This makes everyday playback faster and more predictable.

Troubleshooting

EPG does not load

Validate XMLTV URL format and run manual refresh.

Guide data is shifted or mismatched

Refresh channels first, then refresh EPG and verify mapping again.

Some channels have no guide info

Your XMLTV source may not include all channels. Test source completeness.

Refresh is slow

Large guide feeds can take time on first sync.
