s.410 No EPG in WatchTV

[yosemite2k]

hi,

just can not the epg in Watchtv with playlist (m3u_plus & m3u)
the egp is not getting shown. Is there any issue at the moment with this function?
already updated to beta.

with oder apps android, ios, kodi, the playlist works with my epg.xml.gz source.

might be some variable name thing, channel_id <> tvg_name ?

we have no tvg_name in epg while there is channel_id so maybe
is possible to add this variable also an set it to tvg_id state.

here is part of the file.

Could you, please, share M3U file and EPG files for us? We could check.

In our implementation, we compare "tvg-name" in M3U with "display-name" tag in XMLTV.
So, if it is possible, just create tvg-name attributes in your M3U accordingly.

[yosemite2k]

other old fashion epgs compare always channel_id with tvg-name this is it.
Because on other platforms works, just want to get work in tvip, then more ppl will use tvip because of speed. and functions.
so please add channel_id compare to tvg_name also in one of the furue releases. then all will be fine and customers happy.
I would and prefer tvip before android, and mag´s

Currently, you have "tvg-name" in your playlist. How is it used?

[yosemite2k]

in the epg file are the channel reference, so channels idenrified by channel_id not display_name because display names sometimes shortet.
so might be a compare of tvg_name with channel_id, when channel_id is present and not ""

Currently, you have "tvg-name" in your playlist. How is it used?

tvg_name is used as display-name and tvg_id is used as reference for channel_id in epg source

[yosemite2k]

this is the way others selecting epg in their apps

"tvg-id. tvg-id is value of channel id in EPG xml file. If the tag is absent then addon will
use tvg-name for map channel to EPG;. tvg-name."

so,pls add to watchtv player, to get it most compatible as possible.
