How to add an EPG to Emby
Emby Server shows live TV with a full guide on all its apps. Add your IPTV playlist as an M3U source and your EPG Full link as an XmlTV guide provider.
Steps
- Open Settings → Live TV and add your IPTV playlist as an M3U TV source.
- Under TV Guide Data Providers, choose Add and then XmlTV.
- Paste your EPG Full link as the path or URL and save.
- Refresh the guide data and use Map channels for any channel that is not matched automatically.
Tips for Emby
- Emby matches channels by name and number: with EPG Full, names already match your provider's list.
- Recording live TV needs Emby Premiere.
Which link do I use?
In your EPG Full panel you get three links: epg.xml.gz (every channel), eu.xml.gz (European channels) and world.xml.gz (other countries), plus a custom link with only the categories you choose. On slower TV boxes, add only what you need.
Channels still empty?
Let the player download the guide once (a minute on slow boxes), then refresh the EPG. Event and PPV channels show a placeholder with the event name.
