How to Find Your EPG URL

An EPG URL points to an XMLTV file containing your channel schedule. Providers place it in a few predictable spots.

Check these places, in order

  • The first line of your M3U playlist — look for url-tvg="…" or x-tvg-url="…" right after #EXTM3U.
  • Your subscription confirmation email or provider dashboard, often labeled "EPG URL", "XMLTV Link", or similar.
  • A URL pattern like yourserver.com/xmltv.php?username=…&password=… if your provider uses Xtream Codes.

If there genuinely isn't one

Not every playlist includes EPG data — some providers simply don't offer it, especially smaller or free sources. There's no universal EPG that works for every playlist; the schedule data has to come from your specific provider or channel source.
