How does the EPG work?

Added by Michael Estruch almost 6 years ago

Hello everyone,

I am sincerely sorry for my English, I am French and if the question has been asked many times.

I can not get the EPG running, I do not understand how it works.

I use a TNT key to receive the TV and the EPG is well recovered -> OK

But I have IPTV streams through my internet box "operator Free" and there I do not receive any EPG stream.
Could you guide me or guide me to a tutorial ?

Thank you very much for your help.
Michael

You need the EPG to be supplied by an external "xmltv grabber".

There are many available, but many provide limited information or require fees.

Examples:
[[https://github.com/inrepublica/tv_grab_FR_Kazer]]
[[http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/Europe]]
[[http://www.schedulesdirect.org/regions]]
[[http://webgrabplus.com/epg-channels#stc_12]]

Some will have documentation, and perhaps someone will know best one to use.

But normally you install the one you want, perform some configuration (channels required, login details), and then restart tvheadend and it should appear in tvheadend's UI at Configuration->Channel/EPG->EPG Grabber where you need to enable it.
