CHANGE CRONJOB:
(1). Login to SSH as root & run this command: nano /var/spool/cron/crontabs/xtreamcodes

The cronjob starts standard 1:00 AM. Change the first 5 fields to something else. This example will run at 05:15 am: 15 5 * * * /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/php/bin/php /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/crons/epg.php # Xtream-Codes IPTV Panel
(3). Save the file & don’t forget to execute this command to lock the file from changes: chattr +i /var/spool/cron/crontabs/xtreamcodes

Sharing EPG
If you want to share the EPG with another software or app that needs a separate URL for the EPG data, then use your normal m3u file and edit the link accordingly.
- You can generate EPG for another software or app like this for example: http://domain.com:port/xmltv.php?username=XXXXX&password=XXXXX (XXXXX being the username/password provided from your service provider).
- Keep in mind that there is a 2-max IP limit/block on all our EPG links provided. If you have any issues please get in touch with us.
