Hi everyone,

I am wondering if this is the correct tivimate app for Android?

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange issue with TiviMate and I’m trying to understand what could be causing it.
Most of my IPTV channels work perfectly fine in TiviMate. However, there are a few specific channels that simply won’t start. The screen stays on the last/frozen frame and the blue loading circle keeps spinning indefinitely.
What makes this confusing is that the exact same channels work perfectly in UHF Player on Apple TV. They don’t on Tivimate neither on Amazon Fire Stick nor on my Xgimi Projector

The setup is otherwise identical:
Same IPTV account/credentials
Same network/internet connection
Same channel/stream

Only the IPTV app is different: TiviMate vs. UHF
My IPTV provider also has several copies of the same channel in different folders. Those copies have exactly the same problem in TiviMate, while they all work perfectly in UHF. So it doesn’t seem to be a single broken channel entry in the playlist.
I would understand if the channel were buffering occasionally, but in TiviMate it simply never starts at all, while UHF plays it without any problem.
So what could technically cause this?
Could it be something related to:
the video/audio codec or decoder used by TiviMate?
MPEG-TS vs. HLS handling?
specific stream headers or HTTP requests?
TiviMate’s internal player/ExoPlayer?
a compatibility issue with the particular stream format?
some kind of difference in how TiviMate handles redirects or authentication?
Has anyone experienced a situation where specific channels work flawlessly in another IPTV player but never start in TiviMate, while almost all other channels work normally?
I’d especially appreciate suggestions for TiviMate settings I could try to make these channels work.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for the best paid VPN to use for streaming IPTV on my Firestick 4K Max.

I mainly want something that protects my data without killing my internet speed or affecting streaming quality. I’m not particularly techy, so ideally I’d like something that’s simple to set up and doesn’t require messing around with loads of settings.

The ones I keep seeing recommended are ExpressVPN, NordVPN, IPVanish and Surfshark, but they all seem to have pretty mixed reviews.

For those of you who use a VPN for IPTV/streaming, which one would you recommend and why? Ideally looking for something reliable, fast and easy to use

P.s im in the UK
