TiviMate won’t open after update

After updating TiviMate, the app won’t open anymore.

It shows the logo for a second and then closes back to the home screen. I didn’t change any settings before updating.

Using it on a Fire Stick 4K.
Is this a common issue after updates?

Smarters Pro keeps going back to the home screen by itself

Not sure what’s happening, but sometimes while watching something in Smarters it randomly kicks me back to the home screen of the app.

The stream was playing fine, no buffering or anything. It just exits the player.

Is that usually an app bug or something with my device?

Why does Smarters take so long to load the channel list?

Every time I open Smarters, it sits on the loading screen for a while before showing the channels.

Once everything loads, it works fine. It’s just the startup that feels slow.

Is that normal or is there something I can change in settings to make it faster?

hi,I recently decided to try IPTV mainly to watch sports, but I'm running into a really frustrating issue and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

During the weekdays, everything works flawlessly. I can watch news, documentaries, and 24/7 channels with zero issues. But the moment a big weekend game starts (like Premier League or NFL), the sports channels start buffering every 10 seconds or freeze completely.

I did a speed test on my TV and I'm getting over 500Mbps download speed, and it's hardwired with an ethernet cable.

As a beginner, I have a few questions:

  • Is 500Mbps not fast enough for live IPTV streams?
  • Is my Internet Service Provider (ISP) throttling my speed because they know I'm streaming a game?
  • Do I need to buy a VPN to stop the buffering, or is this just the reality of using IPTV?

I really want to cut the cord, but if I can't watch a game without it freezing, it's not worth it. Any advice?

Been digging through settings trying to find some kind of buffer adjustment option, but I’m not seeing anything obvious.

Streams play fine most of the time, but I wanted to increase buffer slightly to see if it helps with occasional stutter.
On Android TV version of Smarters.

Does this app even let you change buffer size or is that just not a thing here?
