TUTORIAL: Setting up a custom EPG guide on Apple TV (iPlayTV)

Since Apple TV users are somewhat starved for options, iPlayTV is a good fallback. However, adding custom EPGs can be tricky. Here is how to map a custom XMLTV file. 1. In your iPlayTV Settings, go to 'Playlists'. Add your Playlist URL (M3U). 2. Don't add EPG here yet. Tap Done. 3. Go back to main settings -> EPG. Tap the `+` button to 'Add Remote EPG'. 4. Paste your custom XMLTV link (e.g. from m3u4u or epgshare). Save it. 5. Now, go into your playlist -> Channels. Long press on a channel -> 'Select EPG'. 6. The app will let you search the custom XMLTV guide data you just added. Tap the matching name. It’s a bit manual but works perfectly once set up.
