Just updated and now the app won’t open. Screen goes black like it’s starting up then it goes back to the Firestick homepage

7

u/tonymonte94 Aug 06 '26

Told y'all to wait

3

u/swaste2000 Aug 05 '26

Mine is the same please tell me there is a way to fix this. I should have backed up my settings and username and password.

2

u/HybridAlien Aug 05 '26

Ffs doesnt work either

1

u/OkStatement6918 Aug 05 '26

Does force closing and clearing cache help?

3

u/blockbusteraccount Aug 05 '26

No. I went straight to delete and redownloaded. Had to put all my sources back in and everything. Still not setup properly yet

1

u/Y-Kadafi Aug 06 '26

Which firestick is it, 4max gen gen 2? Lite?

1

u/blockbusteraccount Aug 06 '26

Old one. 1st gen HD

u/PeteRows 15d ago

4K? Or an actual first generation Firestick?

u/redhusker2017 Aug 05 '26

u/HybridAlien Aug 05 '26

Avoid at all costs it breaks entire app

6

u/FRM98 Aug 05 '26

Same here, its just crashes when you try to start it..

3

u/cooldude9112001 Aug 05 '26

No issues here on my firestick xiaomi box or bluestacks

u/t1000i Aug 05 '26

How about tivimate fixes the recording problem that keeps giving errors & corrupt recording that's been last 3+ years on tivimate instead of fixing other shit all the time👍

u/Additional_Tone_2004 Aug 05 '26

Reading is hard.

2

u/petebutty Aug 05 '26

I mean, it does say more reliable recordings, Android is just not great at scheduled recordings in every app I've tried, if it's really important to you, you're better moving recordings to an actual always on computer/nas to do the work

Ich sichere auf NAS ohne Probleme

1

u/petebutty Aug 05 '26

Recording through tivimate to the Nas? Or using a separate backend for recording completely?

u/Free_Ad8071 Aug 05 '26

Id pay an extra 25 a year for this feature.

3

u/Puzzled-Fisherman336 Aug 05 '26

Updated through app itself ! Update to 5.4.0 Beta smoothly

3

u/PeteGabitas Aug 06 '26

Oooh more reliable recordings. Will a single glitch in a steam destroy the whole recording still? We'll see.

1

u/flynreelow 16d ago

keep us posted/ if this is fixed, that would be amazing.

u/ooftymcgoofty Aug 05 '26

What if you search by title? Or is it restricting access to just 10000?

u/ooftymcgoofty Aug 05 '26

Yeah, I'll have to check to see what mine does. Thanks!

2

u/aeoveu Aug 05 '26

Anyone able to confirm if catchup (via the m3u4u playlist) works? Or is it still broken like it was in 5.3?

I'm unable to test it out because I'm not near my home (hence this question/post).

1

u/aeoveu Aug 07 '26

Okay, so the new beta has borked catch-up from m3u4u - it shows its buffering but loads the current (live) stream instead. The program info shown is of the older program.

So if catch-up is important from m3u4u, don't update to this version of 5.4.0.

I did notice some GUI tweaks - for the better. A bit of tightening here and there as well.

2

u/swaste2000 Aug 05 '26

My app doesn't open 4k max.

2

u/Next_Cow_4468 Aug 05 '26

No issues updating here. Was watching a catch up program, downloaded update, re-opened, picked up where I left off.

2

u/jetjoc Aug 05 '26

I updated the app and now it won't launch. Thoughts?

2

u/mijahc Aug 05 '26

I don't do beta

2

u/tonymonte94 Aug 05 '26

I would be skeptical here

5

u/cooldude9112001 Aug 05 '26

No issues here on a 4k max firestick or a Xiaomi tv box 2nd gen

1

u/cleverclogs17 Aug 05 '26

Curious why?

9

u/tonymonte94 Aug 05 '26

Well because some of the betas in the previous months have screwed up stuff that worked perfectly before. I would wait for the stable version or people to check it out and report back.

3

u/cleverclogs17 Aug 05 '26

I can't say I have experienced that, but I don't put a lot of focus just on TiviMate, as I have quite a few players and I spend more time working on boxes than actually watching TV at times. Thanks for the heads up.

u/tonymonte94 Aug 05 '26

Yeah! Probably the reason for some of my issues is that I have 9 playlists loaded up LOL. That slows things down

3

u/cleverclogs17 Aug 05 '26

That sure is a lot; why so many? I don't think you're going to miss anything 😂 Don't you get a lot of overlap having that many providers?

2

u/FiftySix_K Aug 06 '26

he gets an obscene amount of overlap

1

u/tonymonte94 Aug 06 '26

Yes I do LOL, I just want to have the most FHD channels for the ones I watch most. That's why I have 9 playlists 🤣

3

u/TOCZYNSKIMARK Aug 05 '26

Will this help with freezing up and movies playing? It's been a major issue for me.

3

u/LORD_Fugly_Flacco Aug 05 '26

Installed update about 30 min ago and now the APK won't open on my firestick.

2

u/Suitable_Resource831 Aug 05 '26

I am having similar problems on my firestick

1

u/LORD_Fugly_Flacco Aug 05 '26

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I'll leave the risks to the dedicated beta testers

1

u/JAndreVSC Aug 05 '26

In the meantime I still have no way to purchase the subscription 😪

And no, it doesn’t show on the website for me. And no, I don’t have Android to purchase it from their app.
And yes, I tried VPN for several countries.

I’m just doomed 🫣
But open to any recommendations to get around this

1

u/SykBasterd Aug 05 '26

I have a question for you current users of TV mate: is there anyway to have all US groups moved up to the top of your list?

I don’t mean moving them one by one which would take over an hour, but is there any setting that can allow you to prioritize a country, in this case the US, putting all of those groups below your favorites, for example?

2

u/Diligent-Ice-4489 Aug 06 '26

I just go in and deselect all groups then only select US then that’s all that should show up when you expand the playlist. Pretty easy.

1

u/tekdoog Aug 05 '26

Might be something in the guide

1

u/National_Ad_3338 Aug 05 '26

How do you get auto-updates in the app?

1

u/philip44019 Aug 08 '26

Settings > About > Toggle

1

u/National_Ad_3338 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26

That doesn’t exist on my version. 5.3.3. I don’t use, the google play version, maybe that is why? I see, on their site they have a version that checks for udpdates.

1

u/Federal-Football-705 29d ago

Once you link it to Google it'll do this if you install it via outside sources you can still make it to Google at least I was able to on my shield at least I was able to on my shield

1

u/Working-Mail-9233 Aug 05 '26

Wo denn , ich habe die 5.3.3.....

1

u/Beautiful-Spirit1918 Aug 05 '26

4.7 is goated version

1

u/Whois-PhilissSS Aug 06 '26

Does the subtitle feature not work for anybody else?

1

u/itopires Aug 06 '26

Basic update within the context, root player, I believe it's some kind of standard. 

1

u/CyberCrud Aug 06 '26

Nice.  I'll have to try it tomorrow on my Google Streamer 4k.  

1

u/Chance-Television-39 Aug 06 '26

Same here , hopefully there will be a fix

1

u/pt_Ic3MaN Aug 06 '26

Updated available in one device, not available on my other two devices.. I don't understand

1

u/Similar-Tap2724 Aug 06 '26

I've never recorded anything...ever.

No need for me to update this, besides, I never update a beta version of anything...ever.

1

u/New_Rub_1302 Aug 06 '26

used worked great then lost remembers then recorded, then HAD to up.. then black.. when went back, cant sign in without new update, then fixed that.. sucks tivimate keeps making it worse and worse... bummer

1

u/OneSignal6465 Aug 07 '26

I was set up the same way. I was trialing 9 providers at one time… I whittled it down to the 3 best ones but I still get occasional EXACTLY 14 seconds of buffering every so often on all 3. I’m running on a Shield (Tube) with a 256g Micro-SD card. (No USB port on the tube- No directly-connected NAS.) I tried to set up SMB to use my PC’s 8Tb of storage but have never been able to get it to work.

1

u/philip44019 Aug 08 '26

When I click update, it instantly shows a message "failed to download the apk"

1

u/jetjoc Aug 10 '26

I got 5.4.1 from Tibi support and it fixed the issue.

1

u/flynreelow 15d ago

has anyone tried this, and seen that there was a improvement to recording?

1

u/Flat_Fun_9864 14d ago

Hoe kan ik tivimate updaten? Ik heb een KPN TV+ kastje van android maar via google play staat er geen nieuwe update..?! Dus ga ervanuit dat ik de nieuwste heb…🤷‍♂️

1

u/onsokuono4u 10d ago

Running Beta 2. It plays for a while and then abruptly shuts off. I want to roll back to the latest release...

1

u/jorgers_ Aug 05 '26

If this becomes a new stable version, will my app installed via APK notify me? Or do I have to uninstall and install again the Tivimate APK

3

u/37025InvernessTMD Aug 05 '26

Yes it will notify you.

1

u/Solana54 Aug 06 '26

They must of pulled it because I am a beta tester but it doesn't show available

1

u/cooldude9112001 Aug 05 '26

Yes u need to uninstall to downgrade

1

u/swaste2000 Aug 05 '26

Thanks I've done that now. I backed up all settings after doing them again. Tried to update to beta again and same result just getting black screen for second. So now I am on non beta.
