It would be incredible if there were a feature that allowed me to enter in the titles and description of VOD movie titles that are provided by my service provider in my IPTV package. I would be more than happy to even input the title, description, and image for the movies (as well as creating a channel-id) myself, if there was a way to have that data populated into the .xml file that you provide with the rest of the channel epg.
There is no way to populate that information in my listings for VOD and it is so frustrating. Youve solved so many of my problems with your service. That would solve the rest!!!

I am not sure if I understand your request.
Many IPTV providers add single movies into their m3u file in a huge list.
Do you mean those by "VOD"?
You want descriptions for those movies in the xml?
If yes, I don't know how it would work.
Basically we would have to clone IMDB.com, because we don't know which provider puts what into their list and even if we could pull that off, you would have to go through tens of thousands of movies to find the one in your list to add it to your xml.
I think, it's not worth it, because you know those movies anyway and they just sit there totally unnecessarily.
If you want to watch "VOD" movies, you have much better options, than IPTV lists.
Like google the KODI addon Exodus.
The only option I would see for this, is pulling the top ten (or 100 or whatever) movies from IMDB and list them in a separate category to check.
I still don't know what it would accomplish and how you would tie them to your list.
If you mean something else by "VOD", there are many VOD channels listed within the EPG files too. For example in the US.

Honestly, I'm not sure if i am saying what i want correctly. But you are correct that i am talking about the VOD titles that IPTV providers include in their playlists.
Yes, there are many. My dilemma:
I don't have Kodi. I use Live Channels on Android TV. And I import my IPTV playlist through the TVirl app for Android TV.
My m3u playlist does not have EPG data, so I use your EPG service to add the EPG data (also by inputting the URL you provide into TVirl)
This works beautifully for my live TV channels. However, the VOD movie titles that my IPTV provider gives access to also don't have EPG data. Therefore, in the UI of Live Channel, the name of the movie comes up truncated (and in very small print) in the space where the channel number should. And in the listings section it says only "No information available"
I'm really just looking for a way to get the title of each movie (and possibly the poster) to populate in the section where the programme data shows up for every channel. I can't read the movie title (or even see it in it's entirety) when it only shows up where the channel number usually is.
If there were a way to have the movie title show up as the "programme title" in the EPG for that channel it would make things so much more wonderful.
I only have about 100 titles in my IPTV list. I'm happy to add them in myself. Its just that I am not able to edit your .xml file.
