## Add an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) source
- check which country the EPG is intended for
- check that this source is not already listed in the playlist. To do this, find the country in this [table](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv#playlists-by-country) and see if there is any other link. If not, continue.
- find the corresponding [ISO_3166-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2) country code.
- open the `channels/` folder and find a file with the same name as the country code
- in the header of the playlist, next to `#EXTM3U`, add an `x-tvg-url` attribute with a link to the EPG source
The result should be something like this:
```xml
#EXTM3U x-tvg-url="https://example.com/epg.xml.gz"
```
## Setting up a channel to use an EPG
- find out which country the channel belongs to. This information can usually be found on [lyngsat.com](https://www.lyngsat.com/search.html) or [wikipedia.org](https://www.wikipedia.org/)
- find the corresponding [ISO_3166-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2) country code
- open the `/channels` folder and find the file that has the same code in its name and open it
- check that the EPG source is specified in the file. To do this, just look at the header of the playlist. If the `x-tvg-url` attribute is present and has a link in it, everything is fine
- open the file specified in the `x-tvg-url`
- find the channel list in the file. Usually it looks like this:
```xml
<tv>
<channel id="cnn">
<display-name>CNN</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="nbc">
<display-name>NBC</display-name>
</channel>
...
</tv>
```
- find the channel you are interested in
- copy the `id` and paste it into the `tvg-id` attribute of the channel description
- copy the `<display-name>` tag value and paste it into the `tvg-name` attribute of the channel description. The result should be something like this:
```xml
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="cnn" tvg-name="CNN",CNN
http://example.com/cnn.m3u8
```
- commit all changes and send a pull request
If you did everything right, then by opening a playlist in a player that supports EPG, you should see the program guide for all updated channels. In some cases, it may also be necessary to manually specify the EPG source in the player itself. Note: playlists are updated only once per 24 hours.
## Sort channels from `channels/unsorted.m3u`
- select any channel from [channels/unsorted.m3u](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/blob/master/channels/unsorted.m3u)
- find out the full name of the channel and from which country it is being broadcasted. This information can usually be found on [lyngsat.com](https://www.lyngsat.com/search.html) or [wikipedia.org](https://www.wikipedia.org/)
- update the channel name if necessary
- find the corresponding [ISO_3166-2 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2) for the country
