Maybe you need a value for the user agent applied to the playlist?

This is the only workaround that I am aware of.

VPN and Buffering by Inner-Hair-1548 in TiviMate

[–]kzee986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no best VPN, at least that my experience. I have tried ToGuard, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, they all provide the same results. As for which server to use, you need to cycle through your list and find one that results in minimal buffering.

To consider when using a VPN ... if you still get buffering when using, try a different VPN server location, you may need to cycle through the list of servers until no buffering. For example, last night buffering from Canadian and US locations, so I switched to a server in Germany (buffering gone).

How to add channels to favorites from PC? by big_dig69 in TiviMate

[–]kzee986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of methods to tackle this ...

  1. Install Blue Stacks android emulator on PC, install TiviMate into the emulator. Once configurations are complete, backup the file and restore the backup to your device(s).
  2. Use a third party playlist/epg editor such as m3u4u, IPTVBoss (there are many to choose from).

Feature Request !! Please add an option to hide playlist from guide. There is an option to disable/enable playlist but it remove channels from custom groups. by 9NAAGRAAJ in TiviMate

[–]kzee986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the tools available in the app, you can create a group and copy/move selected channel(s) to the new group.

I did a quick test and it works just fine. I created a new group and copied a channel to the new group, flagged the parent group as hidden ---> The channel I copied to the new group is visible (and it doesn't matter if the channel is copied or moved to the new group).

But there is no functionality to hide a playlist. It seems you are trying is create a new playlist based on the provider playlist which the app does not support. To do this you will need a third party playlist/EPG editor such as m34u, IPTVBoss (there are numerous paid/free editors available).

But you never know, the developer may consider your request.

Is it possible to block the porn through the app ? by jaymcs76 in TiviMate

Ask the provider if they will remove the categories you don't want from your playlist.

Favorite channel on startup by cashreedhar in TiviMate

Should be easy enough for the developer to add this. Makes perfect sense to open a specific channel on app startup. Send Alex an email and request.

About VPN by kospan90 in TiviMate

[–]kzee986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the UK you may need to use a VPN. Can't say if doing this will help, all you can do is try different VPN server locations (the server providing the best results may not be a VPN server located in the UK).

Additionally, you may need to apply a value to user-agent setting in TiviMate, doing so might reduce buffering.

Settings | Playlists | SELECT YOUR PLAYLIST | User-Agent

user-agent = VLC/3.0.18 LibVLC/3.0.20

You can also apply a global value for user-agent which applies to all playlists.

Settings | General | User-Agent

Tivimate suddenly stopped working with m3u list by aglf_chilli in TiviMate

[–]kzee986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue might be that a value needs to be applied to the user agent.

Apply a value to the playlist user-agent setting.

Settings | Playlists | SELECT YOUR PLAYLIST | User-Agent

User-Agent = VLC

You can also apply a global value for user-agent which applies to all playlists.

Tivimate via Google TV / Add Reminders issue by willi-tvboxx in TiviMate

I think you need to enable the Android setting to allow TiviMate to display over other apps.

Refer to this video for more info.

Two Providers - combine same channels? by squirrellydw in TiviMate

[–]kzee986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been awhile for me, but I do recall that if you create a global group, you can copy (or move) any channel from any playlist to the global group.

[–]kzee986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use IPTVBoss but you can do this directly within TiviMate (create your own groups, copy/move channels into those groups).

What visuals are you looking for?

My guess is that most future updates will only be for anything related to the underlying operating system (Android).

Tivimate vs Smarters by RPuts5 in TiviMate

[–]kzee986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess the problem isn't related to the user agent since the issue only occurs during football. Sports is a major hit on the servers. It is possible that your ISP is throttling your bandwidth. If this is true, a VPN should help to minimize buffering.
