EPG and XMLTV TV guide for Android TV

StreamX shows a clean TV guide with now and next information and a live mini player, using an XMLTV link or the automatic guide from your Xtream provider.

StreamX is a media player only. It does not provide any channels, movies, series or streams. You add a playlist, portal or login that you already have the right to use.

How to add an EPG

  1. Open StreamX and open the Profile menu (your avatar, top right).
  2. Choose Manage Sources, then add a new source.
  3. Open your source, or add a new one.
  4. In the EPG Source section, paste your EPG URL (XMLTV). You can add several links.
  5. For an Xtream Codes source, leave the field blank to use the automatic guide.
  6. Save and sync. Open the EPG Guide tab to browse by category and channel.

What the guide gives you

  • Now and next information for every channel that has guide data.
  • A live mini player at the top, so you keep watching while you browse.
  • Compressed (gzip) XMLTV files are handled automatically.
  • Category and channel lists that match your Live TV groups.

Good to know

The guide shows only what your source or your XMLTV link provides. If a channel has no guide data, StreamX still plays it and the programme area stays empty. Matching works best when the XMLTV channel IDs match the playlist.
