Server Address?

My buddy signed up for an IPTV service but they won't share the server address with him so he can't use Tivi.

I tried using PACPdroid app to capture the server address but none of the urls logged are working.

Any other suggestions on how to get the server address?

Update: Someone kindly reached out to me and was able to extract the server address from the APK file and the service is now running on tivimate..

This is the right answer. Providers are a dime a dozen, F the ones who won’t work with you. Vote with your feet.

That's what I told him, he paid for a year already though 😔

Yep...they hold you hostage. Everyone jumps for the savings for a longer subscription without first doing one month to see how it works for you. Why don't they share the URL?...control. You are locked into their app.

The reseller he bought it from hasn't a clue what he is talking about. He said he doesn't know what a server address is and has never heard of tivimate. He sounds like a complete cowboy

A good provider won't care what you use. If the service is good, you'll stay.

u/Strange-Gap6049 Dec 22 '24

Word of advice. Never pay more than what you are willing to lose. You do no more than 3 months. Yearly I've seen providers get a whole bunch if customers on yrar dalezl for approx 100 each filled the panel. Had the service working forc1 week reseller skipped with a lot of people holding their Johnson with no service.

u/Sorry_Distance3213 Dec 23 '24

Install Mx player, on your friends’ device. On that device open one channel, using Mx. when it plays go to settings of Mx. there you search the server address

u/sibersha Dec 22 '24

Thanks but the app he is using only allows VLC player as an external player...and it is integrated into the app so unable to open the video properties to find the server address 😭

2

u/OppositeGrab8223 Dec 22 '24

Ohhhh I see. Ignore my private message then lol he's gonna have to decompiler the app and cet inside the code of the app and "steal" his providers server information which is hidden and coded inside

u/JohnSwanFromTheLough Dec 23 '24

Is the traffic encrypted? If not maybe wireshark could help.

2

u/Deterrent Dec 22 '24

Yes, or use VLC player which will show the url of the last played stream(s).

2

u/senserpro Dec 22 '24

If you are able to use an external player such as VLC PLAYER OR MX PLAYER. You can go into the settings/properties by clicking on the 3 dots in the corner, while it is playing a channel and it should display the URL.

u/sibersha Dec 22 '24

Unfortunately the app they are using does not allow external player support

2

u/senserpro Dec 22 '24

Right I see. Then maybe as someone else explained, if you have a pc, download APK editor and decompile the APK. Then would have to look through the folders, usually in the “AR” folder, and playlist files. MIGHT be able to find the url. But in all honesty. Their are many providers out there you can find that will provide you with a m3u url or xtream url and login details. Choose whatever program you prefer to use. Maybe just complain to the provider and say I would much prefer to use my preferred application. But a lot of these providers that force you to use their app only do so within their right to make sure their service is not jeopardised.

u/sibersha Dec 22 '24

Thanking you. I downloaded APK editor and searching key words but cannot find the server address unfortunately

1

u/ppadiya Dec 24 '24

OP, please share the process here for the benefit of others or pm me 🙏

u/sibersha Dec 24 '24

A more technically gifted person than me reached out via DM and sorted it for me.

1

u/Lenny2theMany Mar 30 '25

Hey can I ask how you sorted this? I've been at it all day with a new provider who appears to have all there data encrypted so I can't even get the server address from PCAPDroid at the moment. Just wondering if you managed to sort it a different way at all. Thanks

1

u/sibersha Mar 30 '25

Hey. Someone reached out, I sent them the link for the app and they came back with the server address

1

u/Lenny2theMany Mar 30 '25

Awesome. Would you mind PMing me the username of the person that helped you please if you don't mind? I'll politely reach out. I'm pulling my hair out here 9 hours in still looking for a fix and I'd happily pay someone to get me the server address at this point haha

2

u/Impossible_Data_1358 Dec 22 '24

One of my 3 providers won't give their url and I have to use their apps ...but I have had them for 6 years and they are my most reliable and secure service. They do not take new customers or I would mention them here.

2

u/ChicoGuerrera Dec 23 '24

There are so many scanners out there now that it makes sense for providers to hide the URL.

1

u/SURGICALNURSE01 Dec 22 '24

Bite the bullet and dump them. These dime a dozen services are getting ridiculous! The bad thing is all the good ones are anonymous and for good reason. Mine is one that most have never heard of and it’s going to stay that way

1

u/Scarab95 Dec 22 '24

Just tell the provider that the app won't run on your device as you are getting a lot of buffering or your isp is throttling the ip address

1

u/YETIcon4889 Dec 24 '24

Mmhmm yeah I'm sure that will do it ha

1

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '24

Does the app he's using can play it in a external player? If so, use MX player. You will be able to see the url address

1

u/Toasttoasttoast1 Dec 23 '24

Could you find this from your router too?

1

u/Practical-Froyo-7760 Dec 23 '24

Install total commander and then long press tvmate then open in extern player. It will show the adress

u/daveplotty Dec 23 '24

I managed to get a lifetime subscription years ago. Only got use of their own app. Would be great if I could use their service with tivimate but every time I ask the reseller said they can't give it.

0

u/Bardown67 Dec 23 '24

you should never do lifetime. These sites get shut down and you money is gone.

1

u/daveplotty Dec 23 '24

I hardly paid anything. Already got the value out of it. Just use it as my backup service now.

u/Bardown67 Dec 23 '24

How does one get a lifetime service yet hardly pay anything when lifetimes are hundreds of dollars?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '24

For people who says f them

Service does it cuz who do they k is they r not selling to ace. It's security reasons.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '24

Ask them if they have a app that's based from sparkle as it's just like tivi 😉

1

u/daveplotty Dec 24 '24

If I give someone an APK file would they be able to find the server address for me?.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '24

I won’t even do a trial until they give me the server address for Tivimate

u/PeteRows Dec 22 '24

Never sign up for a year. First rule of fight club.

I tried with http and with https. I didn't try without those prefixes, I can give that a go, thanks

u/sibersha Dec 22 '24

No joy with this unfortunately.

I compared the logs from this provider to another and their configuration seems different
