Question about groups in playlist vs epg

by uncledoobie

I'm trying to optimize my custom groups between my playlist and my EPG. I'm testing out a couple of EPGs between Xeev, IPTVEditor, and IPTVBoss, but i'm unsure how to set this up in Tivimate. I've got 13k channels in the iptv provider, but I only want the ones I map and group in my EPG to show up. If I set up groups in my EPG, do I have to set up those same groups in my IPTV playlist? Can I set it up so that tivimate only shows channels that are in my EPG? I don't want to have to go through tivitmate to make my groups because this set up will be spread across 5+ devices, so the more I can do from a cloud-based standpoint the better.

epg is only for guide. whatever channel/groups you set up in playlist is what shows up. if you dont want to see them, hide or delete them.

I think you need to make groups only in playlist. Not in epg. And you need to keep same channel names between playlist and epg.
