Better IPTV EPG matching for your Apple devices.
Guide Cloud processes EPG metadata in the cloud so your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV get accurate, compact guide results — without downloading huge XMLTV files.
Why IPTV EPG matching is hard
- Channel IDs in playlists rarely match EPG IDs exactly
- Variant suffixes like @SD, @HD, @English break matching
- XMLTV files can be enormous and slow to download
- Display names are inconsistent across providers
- Some channels have no public EPG data available
How Guide Cloud improves EPG matching
- Normalizes channel IDs for better accuracy
- Strips variant suffixes automatically
- Matches guide display names to playlist entries
- Processes guide data in the cloud, not on your device
- Returns compact results to all your Apple devices
- Daily refresh keeps guide data current
- Manual matching tools for unmatched channels
EPG matching across all Apple devices
Guide Cloud works with StreamLucid on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Every device gets the same compact, pre-processed guide results via iCloud with Pro.
