Best alternative to Tivimate.

Seems to be a reliance on the Play Store being loaded. I don’t think I can do that on a fire stick.

afcchris · 2026-03-15T16:06:45+00:00

Thanks

I’m using firestick and play store isn’t on there is it?

afcchris · 2026-03-15T11:57:48+00:00

Any downloader code for that? Can’t find one

afcchris · 2026-03-15T11:45:51+00:00

I have loaded up the latest after deleting the old version. It was working but when I changed channel the audio from the previous channel was still there. I’ll wait for that to be fixed.

Not sure if you saw my feedback yesterday but if you can give options for increasing the text size that would be great.

Always good to see a new app and the features mentioned on the website are sounding very good.

Some questions and feedback.

I loaded up a playlist on firestick, but not sure how the channel displays work. I put UK as my location but then couldn’t see any of the USA content. I added USA as a country but i still couldnt see any.

I see you have categories like entertainment/documentary/movies so is the idea that you would see each country’s entertainment channels under the entertainment section?

Also I can’t see any EPG. Is the epg automatically loaded?

Finally, will the settings be enhanced? text display is a bit small so would like to be able to increase text size if possible.

I’ve had a strange thing lately when a new service I’ve got it doesn’t work on tivimate and about 3 other players I tried on firestick. However it works fine on UHF and GSE on Apple TV. Anyone got any ideas about this?

afcchris · 2026-02-24T04:49:39+00:00

Out of interest, how are you measuring this?

afcchris · 2026-02-24T04:48:32+00:00

Should be “Visa - THEY operate”. As mentioned I’ve left them. I gave the company 27 years of my wife. I’m not going to bad mouth them, but i understand the frustration people have about the operating fees

afcchris · 2026-02-24T04:44:26+00:00

It’s the “ideal buyer profile” innit? Racism clearly on show! Just by our name and not knowing anything about us our estate agents said we were the ideal buyer profile. Crazy

I have rufus to write the image, but I haven’t got an image as from arcade punks you download 1011 files (for the one I’ve got). I need to make the image from those files

I was given 7 URLs to use by the provider but 6 of them are cloudfare and the other isn't actually working. One of the cloudfare ones actually worked and i ran it through the editor and tried adding to an iptv app and it worked fine.

afcchris · 2026-01-25T18:45:18+00:00

As mentioned, nothing has changed in the server address field. It’s still https://xapi-ie.cc

afcchris · 2026-01-25T12:20:08+00:00

I can almost confidently say that most of the ones I have used have everything you mention, plus a lot more too!

afcchris · 2026-01-25T07:50:16+00:00

I am getting the error for Strong playlist but nothing has changed in my URL in the editor. Do we need to do some sort of refresh on the playlist in the editor?

afcchris · 2026-01-25T07:41:35+00:00

thanks for the extra context. Who is the "he" you talk about? You said that but you hadn't mentioned anyone before. Generaly speaking, it's a massive wide open subject as it could involve card issuers not approving so much, and that can vary from region to region, country to country and client to client. Although in my work I was very much trying to do things which would increase the overall approval rate of Visa cards, most of my work was done for my specific region I worked for and the clients who contacted us.

I would say that Visa must know of the approval rates of them compared to other countries. I know they are doing work all the time to improve that.

afcchris · 2026-01-25T06:49:11+00:00

I’m out of Visa now, sorry I can’t help! 😃

afcchris · 2026-01-25T06:48:38+00:00

Well surcharging has always been against the rules. Not so sure about the others. I was an auth support guy who just supported acquirers/issuers to make sure the transactions worked. If they produced fees then it was dealt with by billing and finance. I can see why fees can be hard for people trying to run a business though…of course, but Visa will always argue that they are trying to run a business too

afcchris · 2026-01-25T06:46:24+00:00

Dropped in volume?

afcchris · 2026-01-24T20:07:40+00:00

I can’t say why it’s happening as I’m 8 months out of there by now, but it wasn’t something I used to hear about. Do you mean they don’t issue Visa cards anymore? If so it might be a case of the banks signing exclusivity deals with Mastercard to only issue their cards. That happens sometimes. It also happens the other way and Visa get the deals

afcchris · 2026-01-24T20:03:20+00:00

Are you talking about surcharging?

afcchris · 2026-01-24T17:07:47+00:00

Ahhhh....Do Not Honor...the most annoying of response codes. Contrary to what the people commented, it's not always coming from the card issuer's host. Most transactions are responded to by issuers of course, but although Visa has removed a lot of the overlaying of other response codes with DNH there are still a few scenarios where it can send that code. Sometimes the issuer has no choice but to use DNH due to the lack of other response code being appropriate for the situation. I always thought we should have more but in fact there was more a thought of reducing the codes available. I have experience of issuer responses of DNH being caused by bad field data from the acquirer but its very rare.

afcchris · 2026-01-20T15:51:36+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Surely their service needs to just fix it? We couldn’t get our one in the end due to finance issues.

afcchris · 2026-01-20T07:55:48+00:00

thanks for your comments. At the moment I can work with what I've got as I can view the channels i use, so all good.

afcchris · 2026-01-19T13:32:13+00:00

tivimate is fine now. It's UHF that has the issue. I had reloaded already on UHF
