TiviMate EPG Not Working? Here’s the 5-Minute Fix

TiviMate EPG Not Working? Here’s the 5-Minute Fix

TiviMate EPG Not Working Is one of the most frustrating moments for any IPTV user. You fire up the best player on the market, TiviMate, ready to browse through your channels, and you’re hit with a blank screen. “No information.” “No EPG data.” Ugh.

Suddenly, your slick, organized TV guide is useless. You can’t see what’s on, you can’t plan what to watch, and the whole premium experience feels broken. It’s enough to make you want to throw your remote at the wall.

But don’t. The good news is that this is almost always a simple data issue, and the fix is usually incredibly fast. I’ve walked countless people through this, and 99% of the time, one of these steps gets their guide working perfectly in under five minutes.

Let’s get this sorted.

Why Your EPG Disappeared (The Impact)

Your EPG, or Electronic Program Guide, is the roadmap for your IPTV service. It’s the data that tells TiviMate what’s playing now and what’s coming up next on every channel. When that data fails to load, TiviMate can still play the channels, but it’s flying blind. You lose the ability to:

• See program names and descriptions.
• Browse a timeline of upcoming shows.
• Schedule recordings.
• Quickly jump to a specific program.

It turns a powerful, user-friendly app into a frustrating guessing game. We’re here to fix that, starting with the easiest solution first.

The Fix: A Step-by-Step Guide to Restoring Your EPG

Work through these solutions in order. Don’t skip a step, as the most common issue is often the easiest to fix.

Fix 1: The Simple Refresh (30 Seconds)

Sometimes, the app just needs a quick nudge to fetch the guide data again.

1. In TiviMate, go to Settings.
2. Navigate to EPG.
3. Click on Update EPG.
4. Go back to your channels and see if the guide has populated. If not, move to the next step.

Fix 2: Check Your EPG Source URL (The #1 Culprit)

This is the most common reason for a failed EPG. The link your provider gave you for the guide is either typed incorrectly, has changed, or is temporarily down.

1. Go to Settings, then Playlists.
2. Select the playlist that’s having the issue.
3. Go to EPG sources.
4. Click on your EPG source URL.
5. VERY CAREFULLY check the URL you entered. A single typo (.com instead of .tv, a missing letter) will break it. Compare it exactly to the one your provider sent you.
6. If you find a typo, correct it, click Done, and then go back and Update EPG as shown in Fix 1.

Fix 3: Clear EPG Cache (1 Minute)

If the URL is correct, the app might be holding onto old, corrupted guide data. Let’s clear it out.

1. Go to Settings, then EPG.
2. Click on Clear EPG.
3. Confirm you want to clear it.
4. Now, go back and click Update EPG again. The app will be forced to download a completely fresh copy of the guide.

Fix 4: Rule Out a Provider Issue (2 Minutes)

Sometimes, the problem isn’t on your end. The EPG server from your IPTV provider might be temporarily offline.

• Quick Test: Copy your EPG URL and paste it into a web browser on your phone or computer.
• What to Look For: If a file immediately starts to download (usually a .gz or .xml file), your link is working! The problem is likely with the app’s cache (go back to Fix 3). If you get a “404 Not Found” error or the page doesn’t load, the EPG link itself is dead.

If the link is dead, there’s only one solution: contact your IPTV provider and ask them for a new, working EPG link.

Still Stuck? Let’s Get It Solved.

Going through these steps resolves the “TiviMate EPG not working” issue for nearly everyone. It almost always comes down to a simple typo in the URL or the need for a quick data refresh.

If you’ve tried everything and are still staring at a blank guide, don’t waste any more time being frustrated. We can help you diagnose the issue and get you back to seamless streaming.
