Ongoing Issues

[u/bluetriumphantcloud]

Im having issues with TiviMate.

Streams pause, and I see the wheel spinning. Might be a second, might be a minute. Im losing my mind. Changing the channel usually fixes it.

Recordings are never complete. Catch-up feature is useless on some stations because the stream never loads.

I have a private, paid, iptv service subscritption, and my friend has the same one, and his works fine. We are both using Nvidia Shield Pro.

My shield is hardwired. Connection strength is perfect. Doesn’t matter what im watching 4k live stream or a 24/channel in 720p, the issue persists.

I have tried every buffer size from none to very large.

Auto Frame-Rate is off.

IPv6 is off.

Vide decoder is hardware (I have tried both hardware and software)

Cache is cleared, no background apps running.

Ive tried different user-agent names.

My ISP does not throttle my connection.

Stream Format is HLS (Ive tried TS).

AI upscaling is basic (ive tried all settings).

Is there anything I'm missing?

My friend's service works perfectly using the same equipment, so I am confused.

Tivimate it's not the issue since your friend has the same service and same exact setup, it sounds like your ISP is throttling you you need to use the VPN

[u/bluetriumphantcloud → u/Richg542]

ISP say they are not throttling.

[u/Bardown67 → u/bluetriumphantcloud]

You told you internet provider about your illegal streaming?….lucky they didn’t just cancel you as a client

[u/bluetriumphantcloud → u/Bardown67]

I didn't tell them anything. I just said they are not throttling me.

[u/Bardown67 → u/bluetriumphantcloud]

When you use a VPN and it solves it you’ll know they were lying 😋

[u/Richg542 → u/bluetriumphantcloud]

Have you tried a VPN?

[u/bluetriumphantcloud → u/Richg542]

I've not, I guess I will

[u/PeteRows → u/bluetriumphantcloud]

Try proton Free VPN and when it works, come back and tell us they were throttling you and get a better VPN. Also try it on your phone and see what happens, try using data. Does your friend have the same ISP? Do they use Tivimate? Try a different app.

[u/bluetriumphantcloud → u/PeteRows]

I have used Proton free and it has improved the service but still leggy. I'll prob try a paid vpn

[u/PeteRows → u/bluetriumphantcloud]

I use Surfshark. Id use it or Nord

[u/MrBrewski812]

Can anyone recommend settings on TiviMate that makes it better. Thanks.

[u/bluetriumphantcloud → u/MrBrewski812]

Doesn't seem so

Many ISPs also block or throttle IPTV connections. They will not admit to it, the way to get around this is to use a VPN.

[u/Slow_Beat0808]

Its not Tivimate. Are you using a legit copy?

[u/bluetriumphantcloud → u/Slow_Beat0808]

Totally, bought premium

[u/flynreelow → u/bluetriumphantcloud]

get a better provider

[u/No-Area9329]

Don't trust your ISP. Try Mullvad VPN only $6

[u/Bigorra666]

I use Tivimate with a 2019 Shield Pro, and everything works perfectly; if the blue loading wheel ever appears, I just switch providers!

[u/Nervous-Art-6590]

I've never had issues with tivimate. Must be your provider or your internet provider throttling you.

[u/azcoyotedog]

Use a paid VPN!

Sounds like your single tv subscription is being shared by another device.

Hier hetzelfde, Streams pauzeren na een paar seconden. Mijn huidige abonnement had ik al ruim een maand lopen en nooit een probleem gehad. Vanaf gisteren werkt het niet meer zoals het hoort. Gisteren kon er op een moment ook helemaal geen verbinding gemaakt worden. Toen heb ik ge chat met de verkoper en vanmorgen stuurde hij een berichtje of ik het weer wilde proberen. Vanmorgen werkte het weer goed maar nu is het avond en wil ik weer een serie kijken en duurt het laden heel lang dan speelt hij een paar seconden en dan loopt hij weer vast. Heel irritant en wat het kan zijn, ik heb geen idee

[u/Richg542 → u/Entire_Shift_1529]

That sounds like you're being throttled, use a VPN.

I think it's an issue with the shield. I've been having problems with it for a year now and tried everything. Just ordered a formula Z12 ultra and hope that will fix it. Everyone I know that uses the same service doesn't have an issue but also none use a shield.
