ViviMate EPG Setup Guide

What Is EPG?

EPG stands for Electronic Program Guide. It provides program information for channels, such as the current program, upcoming programs, program titles, and scheduled times.

In a compatible IPTV player such as ViviMate, EPG data can make channel navigation easier by displaying television guide information alongside the playlist.

How EPG Works With ViviMate

EPG information is normally supplied separately from the video streams themselves. The guide data contains information that the player can associate with channels in a compatible playlist.

Depending on how your playlist is configured, EPG information may already be included or may require a separate EPG source.

What You Need Before Setting Up EPG

Before configuring EPG, make sure your playlist is already working correctly.

• A working ViviMate installation
• A compatible playlist
• EPG information supplied by your authorized service, if required
• A stable internet connection
• Correct channel and EPG information

If you have not configured your playlist yet, start with the ViviMate Playlist Setup Guide .

Automatic EPG Data

Some playlist configurations can provide EPG information automatically. In these cases, you may not need to enter a separate guide URL.

If the EPG appears correctly after adding your playlist, there may be no additional configuration required.

If guide information is missing, outdated, or assigned incorrectly, you may need to review the playlist and EPG settings.

How to Add EPG to ViviMate

The exact menu names can vary depending on the version of ViviMate and the device you are using. The general process is similar.

How to Assign EPG to a Playlist

Adding an EPG source is only part of the process. ViviMate may also need to associate the guide information with the correct playlist and channels.

Check Your Playlist

Make sure you are working with the correct playlist. If you have multiple playlists, selecting the wrong one can make the guide appear to be missing.

Check Channel Matching

EPG data needs to correspond with the channel information in your playlist. If the channel identifiers do not match, some channels may show no program information.

Refresh the Guide

After changing the EPG configuration, refresh the guide data and allow the application time to retrieve the information.

How to Refresh EPG Data

If your EPG is outdated, refreshing the guide can help retrieve newer program information.

If refreshing does not help, continue with our ViviMate EPG Not Working troubleshooting guide .

Common ViviMate EPG Problems

EPG Is Completely Missing

Check whether your playlist actually provides EPG data or whether a separate EPG source needs to be configured.

EPG Shows the Wrong Programs

Incorrect channel matching can cause guide information to appear under the wrong channel. Review the playlist and EPG configuration.

EPG Is Outdated

Refresh the guide data and check whether the EPG source is still available and current.

Only Some Channels Have EPG

Some channels may not have matching guide data. Check the channel identifiers and the information supplied by your service.

EPG Takes a Long Time to Load

Large playlists and guide files can require more time to process. Network conditions and the EPG source can also affect loading time.

ViviMate EPG on Different Devices

EPG configuration generally depends more on the application, playlist, and EPG source than on the device itself. However, navigation and available options can vary between platforms.

ViviMate EPG in Canada

Canadian users can configure EPG in ViviMate when the application, playlist, and guide source support the required setup.

EPG itself is simply program guide information. The availability and accuracy of that information depend on the playlist or guide source being used.

Make sure that the channels and other content you access through your playlist are authorized and lawful in your situation.
