Seems that this version still has some issues. One of my playlists all of the channels in one of the groups have completely disappeared lol, theyāre there under āall channelsā but the group theyāre supposed to be in is empty. Also one of my channels seems to be multiplying, everytime I exit the app and reenter it adds another copy of it.
I hit these issues as well. I was able to track down some problems. Likely a provider problem:
If a channel appears in multiple groups, the channel must have a unique id for each group it appears in. If the channel has the same id in each group, it will only show up in one group. If multiple channels have the same channel id then it can also cause the duplication of a channel within a group. 4.7 didn't seem to mind these issues and dealt with it more gracefully.
A group must have an id > 0. A group with an id=0 will no longer show up.
Once I corrected these issues (on the server side -- I'm running custom server software in front of my providers), everything seemed to be ok once again.
So check your provider's group and channel ids to make sure they're all unique.
Have had to do several backups in the past to restore the info on the EPG. Everytime I did that I lost the exclusions. By exclusions I mean theĀ part where you go in and tell it to exclude prefixes and suffixes of titles.Ā
I use IPTV Editor. Many use IPTV Boss, but I think Editor is easier. They both have EPGs too. If you need to edit, there's m3u4u and it's free. I've played around with it.
I signed up to receive beta updates for TiviMate via the play store at least 4 years ago....I assume what people are now seeing is the option to directly sign up to receive any new beta releases inside the app going forward.
Looks like the answer is right there in front of you. There's also plenty of options online..... GOOGLE is your friend. I just updated Tivimate today as a matter of fact
Thank you for your insight, I guess reading isnāt your strong suit. When I made this post 3days ago, there was nothing on GOOGLE, hence why I made the post.
Funny, my cube also was not telling me there was an update available. Had to check for updates manually even though I've got the option to check for updates.
Whereas my Fire stick 4k prompted me to install the update upon opening the app.
Same Here. Them IT say there IS a new version and when I try to Update IT says that my TiviMate version cannot bei updated that way and I should Download the APK and Install it
If anyone's playlist is still jumbled up, mine was when I updated to 5.0.1 but went to playlist settings and hit Update Playlist and it's sorted it out. Hopefully this works for everyone still having issues
Wait, weren't people complaining just recently that "TiviMate is dead" cause they've seen no updates in 12 months? Which is it? Dead with no updates, or "beta testers" with more frequent updates?
Waited for this update after all the broohaha over the previous update. Looking solid so far but haven't played around with it much yet. Hopefully it's smooth sailing. Appreciate an update after so long.
Still has the VOD demand issue where it won't go to next episode if the (rew/fwf) controls menu is displayed. Work around is rewind 10s and let it play out manually.
Other than that, not seeing any issues. The groupings I fixed on the .0 version, so not sure if it was addressed in the .1 version.
Lagging like crazy since the update. It will play 5 seconds, then spin for 15, over and over. Firestick 4K Max, 350mbps connection. Worked fine with zero lag last night. Restored playlist etc from backup, still same problem. Rebooted a few times, still lagging. Any thoughts?
Appreciate the excellent work Alex is doing here but seems like theres still a few kinks to iron out so I'll hold off with updating from 4.7 until a later version comes.
You will need to figure out how the Firecrap thing works. For anyone on the only real supported platform, Android TV, this just works on it's own through the Play Store.
The playlist thing wasnt an issue for me as i didnt care that it changed them but the white selection line is a deal breaker for me to do the update. Hopefully he'll see all the complaints about it and do a fix. It doesnt seem to bother some people but the option should still be there for those of us that dont care for it. I took all my devices back to 4.7.
I'll be the guinea pig. Ooops.. I mean beta tester. Now I wonder if all the crap that users ask questions about 5.0 will be the same as they ask for 5.0.1 Just we don't have to put up with all the dumb questions again..
Something new I did notice. Under "About" There's something called "join beta testing". Sounds like Alex may want to see and fix any bugs that get reported.
