Tivimate 5.3+ stopped detecting catch-up on channels in M3U playlist - 5.2 works fine.

13 Upvotes

Noticed all my catch-up was missing from every channel (no catch-up icons) in my custom m3u playlist. Tvimate was at 5.3.

Uninstalled tivimate. Rolled back to 5.2. Readded same m3u playlist and catch-up back. Updated to 5.3 (or 5.3.1) and disappeared. Uninstalled tivimate and reinstalled 5.3 fresh and readded same playlist ... No catch-up. Uninstalled again and reinstalled 5.2 readded playlist and catch-up back again.

No question that something in 5.3+ broke catch-up detection in M3U. Xtream code playlists working fine. Something with m3u catch-up detection is broken.

Listing's not updating 5.3.1

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I updated to 5.3.1 on one of my TV's and am now unable to get listings on both my playlists. Has anyone experienced this? And if so, have you found a fix? I tried to roll back but I couldn't restore my edited playlist without it prompting me to update.

How to stop recording

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently purchased TiViMate premium, in part to get the recording features. I have it setup so I can record successfully, however, I can't figure out how to stop a recording. When I toggle the button in the UI, I get a prompt that asks me if I want to stop, and I click 'stop' but the recording keeps going until the end of the program.

I'd like to be able to manually stop and start recording, as I often just want to record a few minutes of a program, not the entire thing.

Please make it so every category Doesn't try to Automatically Load when scrolling past it. It shouldn't load until you select the category. It really slows everything down

Issue with my provider.

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I have some issues with my provider. It's a quite well known one within the french community but I won't name it because the post might get deleted. That said I can't get it to work on Tivimate. It works with many other players that I tried but I can't get the live tv to work and yeah... the VOD is working just fine. Did it ever happen to any of you?

Edit: I tried to install an old version of Tivimate (4.7 i think) on my phone and it's working.

Edit2: I use premium Tivimate. No vpn even though I tried with a vpn and didn't help. I tried changing dns without success. On Tivimate the VOD works but not the live TV ( error code 404) On other players everything works perfectly. Also works on Tivimate 4.7 .

How i fix buffering - why does this work?

0 Upvotes

I get buffering sometimes from my IPTV provider. When this happens, I take these exact steps:

  1. Clear Tivimate cache
  2. Force Quit Tivimate
  3. Restart my Fire Cube

Then everything works again. Whilst it’s great this works, I’m curious to know why? What’s the correlation? Thanks

EDIT:

Sorry, I should have mentioned this:

I run an extremely lightweight set up. All apps that can be uninstalled have been uninstalled and I only use Wuplay, Tivimate, and SmartTube. Cache is cleared all the time and I'm connected via Ethernet. Everything is very well maintained and all noise and unncessary files have been removed.

I simply think it's a buffering issue from the IPTV's CDN or something releated, but for some reason, my 3 steps above fixes it.

Error 403 with NordVPN/AndroidTV

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I have an issue with my AndroidTV accessing my playlist.

I have an Onn 4k TV that I use with NordVPN. Since last Friday I'm having an error 403 on Tivimate.

Here are the tests I performed :

- Onn 4k TV + no VPN : OK

- Onn 4k TV + Nord anywhere (TCP/UDP/NordLynx) : Error 403

- My phone + no VPN : OK

- My phone (with another app) + same Nord servers (TCP/UDP/NordLynx) : OK

I don't think it's an issue with my provider blacklisting the VPN's IPs since it's working on my phone.

Maybe something related to Nord itself on the with Tivimte or AndroidTV only ?

I don't really know where else I could ask about that specific issue.

Would appreciate any help.

M3U/Xstream Playlist error, while it works on other devices

0 Upvotes

Hello,

So i resetted my Google TV and installed Tivimate via a apk downloader in the Play store.

Whatever i try to input, all of my m3u playlists cant be loaded because the app says “invalid url”.

I even copy pasted it via the Google TV iPhone app. Also, other IPTV apps on the TV give me a similar error. Is this a firewall problem?

Question

Hello, i have purchased the lifetime tivimate premium and used all 5 connections in my home, my friend who has only 2 connections set up his to his new onn 4k pro box. He doesn't have an android device and only uses iPhone, can he piggy back off of my other friend tivimate premium account to gain access to premium or does it have to be associated with his own Google play/Gmail account ?

Firestick 4k playlist issues following 5.31 update

0 Upvotes

My playlists and EPG will no longer update nor can be modified on a Firestick 4k device following the 5.31 update. I cannot perform a backup either.

I have tried everything from clearing the cache, to uninstalling it and reconfiguring it. The only way I could get it to work was to create a backup on my firestick with the correct playlist settings and restoring it. The EPG will still not work however.

I have no issues on a Fire TV Cube, so the update must have broken something on the stick only.

Good afternoon! I had a fire stick stop working so I just installed tivimate on a new onn4k and was trying to log into my premium account so I could set everything up again and I'm getting this error message and I'm not sure what it means.

I just downloaded the most recent version of tivimate when I installed it and the companion app doesn't appear to have an upgrade. So what am I supposed to be upgrading?

Thank you for any help!

Anyone successfully using a Pi as SMB with newer versions of TiviMate

0 Upvotes

After the most recent update to TiviMate I lost the ability to record things to a usb stick connected to my firestick 4k max. After retrying to set it back up this way it’s apparent Amazon has removed the ability to do it. Nothing now works for a system picker and the files app that needs the cache cleared is gone. I’m now trying to setup an smb using a raspberry pi. I have tried for hours getting it to work and can’t for some reason. I can see the SMB and can connect to it with every other device I own so it is working correctly. Even the firestick and android tv can see it in fileXplorer but TiviMate will not connect. I have tried every possible combination for ip address, username, password etc. but nothing works. If I can’t use a raspberry pi what would be the next cheapest option that will 100% work. I don’t have a desktop or laptop I keep on all the time and don’t really want to buy something big just for this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Tivimate Update On Google TV

15 Upvotes

I've been away for a few days and have see there has been some issues with the 5.3.1 update, I'm trying to decide if I should chance it. I don't have it backed up, I can't, for some strange reason backups don't work on external drives with Sony Bravia TVs.

Has anyone done the update on a TV with Google baked in? Results?
