# EPG Integration: Add TV Guide to Your Channels

Learn how to set up Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data for your IPTV channels and never miss your favorite shows.

## What is EPG?

EPG (Electronic Program Guide) provides schedule information for TV channels, showing what is currently playing and what is coming up next. For IPTV, EPG data is typically provided in XMLTV format.

With EPG integration, your IPTV player can display a full TV guide grid, making it easy to browse programming and set reminders for upcoming shows.

## Setting Up EPG Sources

M3utify Pro supports multiple EPG sources that can be combined for comprehensive coverage. You can add EPG URLs from popular providers or upload your own XMLTV files.

The system automatically matches EPG data to your channels using tvg-id attributes, and our auto-matching feature can identify matches even when IDs do not perfectly align.

## EPG Grid View

Our EPG Grid provides a visual timeline of programming across all your channels. You can browse by time, search for specific shows, and filter by genre or channel group.

The grid supports 7 days of forward-looking program data and allows you to quickly jump to any channel that is currently showing content you are interested in.

## Troubleshooting EPG Issues

Common EPG issues include missing program data, incorrect time zones, and unmatched channels. M3utify Pro provides diagnostic tools to identify and resolve these issues.

You can manually map channels to EPG entries, adjust time offsets, and merge data from multiple EPG sources to ensure complete coverage for all your channels.
