XMTV Player XMLTV EPG Status

XMTVPlayer is a well-known IPTV player for Android and TV devices. With the latest update, it finally adds support for Electronic Program Guide (EPG) in the XMLTV format. Now you get better program info and can check TV schedules without any hassle.

Before this update, XMTVPlayer's program guides were pretty limited or used strange formats. Now, with XMLTV EPG support, you can just load standard TV schedules and it works right away.

What Is XMLTV EPG?

XMLTV is a common XML-based format for sharing TV schedules. Broadcasters and IPTV providers use it to send out detailed program listings, like:

  • Show titles
  • Descriptions
  • Air times
  • Categories and genres
  • Ratings and XMLTV files are made to work with most modern IPTV guides.

Why This Update Matters

With XMLTV EPG support, XMTVPlayer users can now:

  • Load standard XMLTV guide files directly
  • Enjoy accurate, up-to-date TV schedules
  • View show info and descriptions in the guide UI
  • Seamlessly use guides from many IPTV providers
  • Experience richer metadata and improved usability

Before this update, you had to use workarounds or set up schedules by hand. Now, with a working XMLTV feed, you just paste the URL or load the file and your guide connects right away.

How It Works

Once you’ve installed the latest XMTVPlayer update:

  1. Pick XMLTV as your program guide source.
  2. Enter the URL or specify the local XMLTV file from your device.
