I've formatted my Guide for use in all Platforms that use an external XML EPG Guide.
*Tested on KODI with Stalker, PotatoTV, IPTV Simple and with Perfect Player (Android and PC), Simple TV, ProgDVB, NextPVR.
More channels will be added now that I've got the requirements figured out!

nice work kens and it have the info's on those channels ..:D
Hey kens, if you're going to edit the fields so it works on all platforms, why don't you take it one step further (and make it even easier on yourself) and not use ids at all; just use the <display-name> since that's all that's really needed for IPTV services?Quote:

Well, considering that the Channel Names get changed at any point in time, here is a better idea...Quote:

As far as I can tell, Stalker middleware uses the Display names. Potato TV uses the guide source selected, and pulls the ID's in the guide, and makes a custom playlist using these XMLTV ID's, since IPTV Simple client uses ID's.
The names change, but the ID's dont.
So I base everything to the ID and paste in the Display name used by the provider, then I delete all other Display names since some applications will load all names together causing a mismatch.
Thanks for the suggestion, but we should not have to be doing this anyway.
