After updating to 5.3.0 on a Firestick 4K Max the "TV" logo doesn't appear.

Does anyone know a good EPG link.

I don't know if anyone else has run into this issue, but I have no trouble backing up TiviMate, however when I try to restore a file created under this version, it won't restore on another device. Simply throws up an error that it failed. Yes, both devices are on the same v5.3.1 Beta. Can anyone else confirm that they are having a similar issue?

Restored my 5.2.0 backup to both of them, all good except shows disappeared as in they show up and then poof gone in like a minute, no shows.

Cache clean etc, no go and now went back to 5.2.0 and its back again

For whatever reason I can't change the menu on the left.... I'm stuck with search, tv, recordings and my list, and then settings is at the bottom. This seems very simple as there are toggles but changing them does nothing. Is there some "apply" button I'm missing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Same thing on 2 different devices, an Nvidia shield and an ONN. I'm on 5.2 premium.

Are catchup channels working for anyone? They are missing from my guide even though I confirmed they are in my Playlist.

I have been recommended to use this app by a couple people now and they all told me its worth it to get the premium membership but any time I try to purchase it it just gives me an error and says the item you requested is not available for purchase, any help?

(Tivimate premium)

The group sorting on one of our Tivimates is all goofered up ... not sure what happened as I don't usually use this particular TV. The other TVs have the original group ordering from first downloading from provider. The order used to be grouped by country:

US | Movies >> US | Entertainment ... etc ... UK | Prime >> UK | General ... etc

Now it seems to alternate between US and UK in some weird fashion:

UK | Prime >> US | Entertainment >> UK | General >> US | Movies etc

If I try to manually reorder by name then it puts all the UK groups first.

Anyone know what happened or how to get the order back to US >> UK without manually reordering all the channel groups one by one?

Ok, Firestick decided to toss a bunch out last night including my Tivimate. Redownloaded it this morning. Now it shows on my list of apps installed on tv but only only options it gives me is to uninstall. it is working , just wont le me move it at all and doesnt show other than in app library.. HELP!!

There seems to a new TiviMate Version 5.3.0 (Premium).

The new updated (Final?) APK version 5.3.0 (Premium) can be downloaded through the official website https://tivimate.com or through DownLoader Code 272483.

Changes that i could see are:
- The channel sorting bug seems to be solved.
Now the channels are sorted as set in the Playlists 'Playlist sorting' option.
- New options in the Settings->About menu.
In the Nvidea Shield Pro app there is an option for 'Auto update app' setting, this was previously available in other device app versions.
- Seems like the option to 'Join Beta testing' has also moved to the About section, previously this was done throught the website: http://play.google.com/apps/testing/ar.tvplayer.tv (which seems to be not working any more)

Based on problem descriptions from others in regard to the previous Beta, i have no problems with EPG and Catch-Up in this version. But again, i did not experience the reported issues in the previous Beta, so for me nothing else seems to be have changed with this version.

So, update when you would like to have a try with an updated version 5.3.0. Based on previous reported issues everyone's mileage may vary.

I have multiple lifetime accounts using multiple emails. Today, I tried purchasing another lifetime thru the companion app, using a newly created email, and I would get a message stating that ALREADY PURCHASED FOR ANOTHER ACCOUNT. I used a friend's phone, downloaded the companion and the purchase went thru. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you remedy this? If not, what could be the issue? Thanks.

• I did the backup
• Downloaded from Code 272483 which still shows ver 5.2.0
• Installed - Still 5.2.0
• Remove tivimate completely
• Downloaded from Code 272483 which still shows ver 5.2.0
• Check downloads folder, the APK itsef shows 5.2.0
• Unisntalled
• Download APK from tivimate
• Install via ADB

• Tried downloader code - an error has occured

Any idea whats going on?

EDIT: Thanks, had to get it via Telegram, its a 20mb file as opposed to 17 for 5.2.0

Getting tired of buggy updates and slow to no real development so wondering what alternatives are best?

I’ve tried the IBOs and Smarters but they’re very basic in comparison.

Best I’ve found so far is TiviTime which looks promising - feature rich like Tivimate but with active development and looks like it might work across Android and iOS which is rare.

Is anyone using the beta currently and can share feedback?

I’ve been using a VPN for awhile now with no issues until now. Nothing works when its on but when I have it turned off, things are working fine.

Anyone else ever experience this?

No need to downgrade to 5.2, Easy fix til the developer corrects the Bug!
