About this plugin
Platinium EPG for XMLTV and M3U transforms your WordPress site into a professional and powerful TV program guide platform. Whether you manage an IPTV service, a streaming community site, or a media blog, this plugin gives you the tools to display a beautiful, fast, and interactive EPG grid.
Using any standard XMLTV file for program data and/or an M3U file for channel data, the plugin generates a stunning “Glassmorphism” style grid that is fully responsive and optimized for performance, even with thousands of program entries. It’s designed to be simple for beginners to set up, while offering deep customization and powerful features for advanced projects through its Pro version.
Key Features:
- Multiple Data Sources (XMLTV & M3U): Add and manage multiple EPG sources from XMLTV URLs, M3U URLs, or even local M3U file uploads. The plugin intelligently merges all data into a single, unified guide.
- Local M3U File Uploads: Don’t have a URL? Upload an M3U file directly from your computer and treat it as a permanent, synchronizable source, complete with a custom name.
- M3U Integration for Clickable Channels: Easily make your channels playable! The plugin automatically maps streams from your M3U sources using tvg-id, or you can add stream URLs manually for each channel.
- Built-in HLS Player: Provides a seamless viewing experience with an integrated player for HLS (.m3u8 ) streams, which opens in a clean modal window.
- Powerful Shortcode Generator: Create and save custom “Channel Groups” (e.g., “Sports,” “Movies,” “News”) and display them anywhere with a simple shortcode like [platinium_epg group-name="Sports"].
- High Performance by Design: EPG data is fetched and cached in the background. The front-end grid uses efficient JavaScript rendering to ensure smooth scrolling and a great user experience, no matter how large your guide is.
- Advanced Customization: From the settings page, fully customize the grid’s appearance. Choose from a variety of built-in color presets (like ‘Midnight Dark’, ‘Icy Winter’, or ‘Solar Summer’) or create your own custom theme. Adjust the zoom level, row height, column width, and what channel information is displayed (logos, names, numbers).
- Diagnostic Tools: An integrated diagnostic panel shows you the status of your cached data and source connections (including local files), helping you quickly identify any synchronization issues.
