EPG (Electronic Program Guide) XML is a standard format used to represent TV program schedules in XML (Extensible Markup Language). It provides information about upcoming television shows, including the program's title, description, start and end times, channel, and other metadata like genre and language.
EPG XML files are typically used by TV receivers, set-top boxes, and applications to display TV schedules to viewers. The data helps users browse through available programs and plan what to watch, similar to a digital guide you might find on TV networks or streaming services.
These XML files can vary in structure but generally include elements like:
<channel>: Information about the TV channel (e.g., name, ID).<programme>: A specific TV program with details such as title, start and end times, and description.<title>: The program's title.<desc>: A description or summary of the program.<start>and<stop>: Timestamps for when the program starts and ends.
Many online sources or TV networks distribute EPG data in this XML format to integrate with various devices or software.
