Are there any good websites that host xmltv info that I can just point my addon to? For context I'm using simple iptv with kodi to stream from my tuner card, through nextpvr, to other tvs in my house via the m3u nextpvr generates. I can see utils to create one but was going for just a web address and have been unable to find one. Do I just misunderstand how this should work?

If you want to use NextPVR with Kodi, you should use the proper addon instead, no need for simple m3u and external EPG sources.

If you want to host a generated file, you don't need anything especial, you can use Dropbox and use the direct download URL

EPG by country, see associated PDF for channel names

Thanks, I ended up doing a version of this. Nextpvr when set up correctly handled everything well. The end result to the original query is there is no free epgs out there that work, Xmltv is the best to generate epgs, and that I lose sight of problems and get obsessed with solutions.
