This app has many features that make it a great choice for IPTV users:
- ✅ Supports many playlist formats (M3U, Xtream Codes API).
- ✅ Works with EPG guides from many sources.
- ✅ Can play videos from many sources, not just IPTV.
- ✅ Has a built-in video player with catch-up support.
- ✅ You can customize the look and feel of the app.

How to Set Up and Fix Your EPG Guide
This is the most important part. Follow these steps to add your playlist and fix the EPG.
Step 1: Add Your IPTV Playlist
- Open the GSE Smart IPTV app.

- Enter the details from your provider (URL, username, password).
- Tap “Add” or “Save”. Your channels should now load.
Step 2: Add and Assign Your EPG Source
The EPG is separate from the playlist. You must add it and link it to your channels.
- In the main menu, tap the “⚙️” (gear) icon for Settings.
- Go to “EPG Settings”.

- Go back to your playlist. Long-press on its name and select “Assign EPG”.
- Choose the EPG source you just added. This links the guide to your channels.
Step 3: Update the EPG
After adding the EPG, you need to update it to get the latest program data.
- Go back to Settings > EPG Settings.
- Tap on the EPG source you added.
- Tap “Update EPG” or “Force Update”.
- Wait for the update to finish. It may take a minute.
- Go back to your channel list. You should now see program info.
Common EPG Errors and How to Fix Them
EPG Not Showing or “No Information”
Why this happens: The EPG is not assigned to your playlist, or the EPG URL is wrong.
How to fix it:
- Double-check the EPG URL from your provider. Make sure you typed it correctly.
- Go to your playlist and make sure you assigned the EPG source to it (Step 2 above).
- Try to “Force Update” the EPG again.
EPG is Out of Date or Shows Wrong Times
Why this happens: The EPG data is cached (saved) on your device and is old.
How to fix it:
- Go to EPG Settings and tap “Clear EPG Cache”.
- Then, tap “Update EPG” to get fresh data.
- Check your device’s time and timezone settings. Set them to automatic.
EPG Updates But Some Channels Have No Guide
Why this happens: The EPG source does not have data for all your channels.
How to fix it:
- Contact your IPTV provider. Ask them for a better or more complete EPG source URL.
- Sometimes, you can find free public EPG sources online, but they may not match your channels perfectly.
Tips for a Better IPTV Experience
- Use a Reliable IPTV Service: A good EPG needs good data from your provider. A stable service makes everything work better.
- Update Regularly: Set the EPG to update automatically in the app settings. This keeps your guide fresh.
- Restart the App: If something seems wrong, close the app completely and open it again. This fixes many small problems.
- Check Your Internet: A slow connection can stop the EPG from updating. Use a strong Wi-Fi signal or ethernet cable.
Conclusion
Fixing the EPG in GSE Smart IPTV is usually simple. The main steps are: add your playlist, add your EPG URL, assign the EPG to your playlist, and then update it. Most problems come from a wrong URL or forgetting to assign the EPG. Follow this guide step-by-step, and you should solve the problem.
