The playlist identifies media entries, while the EPG source supplies programme schedule data; they can be separate resources.

Why this happens
A working channel list and a populated programme guide do not have to arrive in the same file. The playlist can tell the player which entries exist and where their media is located, while another resource supplies times, programme names and channel associations. This is why live video may work even when the guide is empty. Pasting the media-list address into every field can produce a confusing setup without creating schedule data that the address never contained.
Use the account format the installed player accepts. Kodi’s IPTV Simple documentation, for example, distinguishes an M3U playlist source from XMLTV guide data; a provider-managed login can present a different interface and supply those details without asking you to enter two URLs manually. Keep both resources private when they contain account access. If the player requests a separate guide URL and none was issued, do not invent one from the marketing website address. Confirm the intended account route and preserve the working video setup while the guide source is arranged.
A useful way to work through it
Read the field labels to distinguish the media list from the programme guide.
Use separately issued guide data only where the player requires it.
Keep a working channel list intact while investigating an empty EPG.
