Validate your EPG (Electronic Program Guide) URLs. Fetches and reads raw XML and compressed .xml.gz files to check list health, count active schedules, and verify guide coverage dates.
EPG issues are a frequent reason why TV guides show "No Information" or incorrect schedule timings in players like Tivimate or GSE Smart IPTV.
To inspect your EPG, paste the XMLTV URL provided by your service. Our validator checks the XML layout format, counts the registered channel elements, reads show schedules, and highlights timezone and date coverage warnings.
An EPG (Electronic Program Guide) XMLTV URL is a file link containing schedule structured data for TV channels. IPTV players read this XML file to populate TV guide grids with program titles, descriptions, and timings.
Yes. Most EPG feeds are compressed to reduce file sizes (often over 100MB uncompressed). Our validator automatically detects `.xml.gz` urls, downloads the compressed archive, and unpacks it server-side for analysis.
An EPG is 'stale' if its schedule lists are entirely in the past, meaning your player won't show what is currently airing. It is 'sparse' if there are too few listed shows per channel, resulting in blank guide slots.
