ScamAlert New member Joined May 3, 2017 Messages 921 May 19, 2020 #3 TiviMate requires a playlist (M3U) URL or Xtream credentials to connect to a service.
LagFixer New member Joined Jun 18, 2019 Messages 917 May 18, 2020 #4 The Xtream Codes API is the most reliable connection method in my experience.
IPTVtutor New member Joined Jul 11, 2015 Messages 2,374 May 19, 2020 #5 Playlist-based connections can be slow to load if the playlist is very large.
DianaTV New member Joined Dec 2, 2019 Messages 35 May 21, 2020 #6 Large playlists (10,000+ channels) can take 30-60 seconds to load on first launch.
NickCable New member Joined Jan 12, 2017 Messages 41 May 18, 2020 #7 Caching helps after the first load. TiviMate caches the EPG and playlist locally.
AnnaTV New member Joined Jun 27, 2015 Messages 43 May 18, 2020 #8 How often should you refresh the playlist cache?
DVR_Dan New member Joined Apr 3, 2015 Messages 52 May 20, 2020 #9 Every 24 hours is standard. TiviMate can be set to auto-refresh on a schedule.
DNSfixer New member Joined Jul 3, 2018 Messages 702 May 26, 2020 #10 I set auto-refresh to 2am when I'm not watching. No interruptions.
NancyBuffer New member Joined Jun 3, 2019 Messages 40 May 27, 2020 #11 Smart scheduling for refresh. Worth setting up if you haven't already.
DianaTV New member Joined Dec 2, 2019 Messages 35 May 28, 2020 #12 TiviMate Pro has better features for EPG management. Worth the one-time purchase.
HomeLab_Hans New member Joined May 8, 2020 Messages 1,255 May 21, 2020 #13 The EPG guide accuracy depends entirely on the service's EPG data quality.
PortalError New member Joined Nov 4, 2014 Messages 366 May 24, 2020 #14 Some services provide excellent 7-day EPG; others have incomplete or inaccurate guides.
TechMike88 New member Joined Jul 27, 2010 Messages 75 May 30, 2020 #15 EPG quality is a good way to evaluate a service's overall attention to detail.
chris_tv New member Joined Feb 25, 2012 Messages 57 May 25, 2020 #16 Agreed. If they put effort into EPG quality, they likely put effort into stream quality too.
