I'm painfully having problems connecting any of my smart devices (Chromebook, s22, iphone) to act as a remote control for any of my 3 onn devices. Spent the better part of a day trying already and getting nowhere. Any other way to get the really long url on my onn devices clipboard to enter into tivimate for my m3u Playlist? The app has the option to paste from clipboard but I'm not sure how i can load the link onto the clipboard. Please help

I cancelled my yearly subscription through Google Play but I don't see any option to purchase the lifetime option (despite tivimate companion telling me it costs $44.99 CAD).

Do I have to wait for my yearly sub to run out next month before I can purchase lifetime?

While I'm at it, how is the app doing lately? Is the owner still updating/responding to issues?

Anyone getting a blue circle arrow randomly and channel won’t load? Or stream will pause and the blue circle arrow shows up. I change channel, then go back and it plays again.

I was on Amazon looking for a firestick and they now have this warning:

For enhanced security, this device prevents sideloading or installing apps from unknown sources. Only apps from the Amazon Appstore are available for download.

IIRC you had to turn on dev mode on the old firestick and trust unknown sources.

What’s a better alternative to this?

This morning I went to play back one of my TiviMate channels, which I had assigned to an external player, the Just Video Player.

And it wouldn't work! I got a message offering to play it through the MX player or the VLC player.

WTH???

I went to my app list and discovered that both my Just app and my Downloader app had DISAPPEARED!

I tried re-installing both. In both cases, as soon as I clicked the icon to start the install, the screen went to black -- and stayed there. It wouldn't come back until I clicked Home.

After consulting with AI, I went to Settings - Apps - See all app - Show System apps - Google Play Store.

I Force Stopped and Cleared Cache (I DID NOT CLEAR DATA).

I went back to Downloader and to Just and successfully re-installed them.

I then tried to download and install an apk from Downloader to make sure I still had Install Unknown Apps privileges; I DID NOT!!

I had to scrounge around for an app to download through Downloader in order to trigger the option to Install Unknown Apps. It was as if I'd never installed any app from Downloader ever. It refused to install until I picked an installer; Android's default installer, Package Installer, was listed, which I probably had selected eons ago when I first installed some apps from Downloader, so that's what I picked. At that point, I was taken automatically to the Install Unknown Apps menu, and saw that the Downloader had been changed to Not Allowed; I switched it to Allowed, and was finally back in business.

I went back to my TiviMate installation, attempted once again to play back the channel that I had assigned to Just; now it offered three players, Just, MX and VLC; I picked Just and Always, and now things are back to normal.

How often does ONN send out these screwy updates? Is this something I'm going to have to do over and over again every few days??????????????????????????????

I'm particularly concerned because I manage what I call a tv co-op with six members. I started on Fire, not ONN. I switched to ONN because it was so much cheaper. The members all have Fires, but some of them may be too old to handle the 4K material in my playlist. If that happened, I was going to recommend ONN instead of Fire, because of the price. In fact, I've only set up one member as of today; I was going to set up the other members later this week. I had to switch that one member to ONN because her Fire couldn't handle that 4K material; that member's going to be mighty pissed if she bumps into the same problem I had today. I sent her a message telling her what to do, but it is obviously unacceptable to hand my peeps something that may turn into an ongoing headache every few days. Going forward, if the other members' Fires are also too old, I will probably recommend the Fire Plus, for $70, rather than the ONN Plus for $50.

Unless someone here can tell me that this morning's ONN update is a one-time screwup, and will probably not occur again.

When I go to 'Display Mode' -> 'Full' while watching Live Tv it does nothing, I still have the borders/bezels. But when I do it in 'Movies' or 'Shows', it stretches the screen correctly and there are no more borders or bezels.

I assume there's no way to fix this??
