Add playlist

At first launch, select “Add playlist” and use the appropriate format. Enter the details exactly.

Link EPG

If the EPG is not assigned automatically, check the EPG source and refresh it manually.

Favourites and groups

Add frequently used categories to favourites. This keeps navigation clear when using the remote control.

Premium app features

Some TiviMate features are part of a separate premium app licence. This is managed by the app provider.

Practical knowledge

Set up TiviMate: organise playlist and EPG properly

The following points help you make an informed decision and avoid common setup or selection mistakes.

Add the playlist correctly

Use the M3U or Xtream configuration intended by the provider. Avoid manually copying long URLs and check special characters.

Assign the EPG

An empty programme guide can be caused by an incorrect source, time zone or channel assignment. Refresh EPG data and check individual channels before recreating the configuration.

Favourites and groups

Hide unused groups and create favourites. A smaller, well-organised interface loads faster and is considerably more pleasant to use with the remote.

Create a backup

Back up working settings before making major changes. This saves time when changing devices or reinstalling.
