How to Install TiviMate on Firestick/Android TV/Google TV

I don’t know about you but the screen’s a lot easier to read now!

Hmmm. The preview screen is bigger now and less channels show. I only get 8 rows of programs now and I use to get 12. List grid lines are gone as well. Had to change my Font size to small.

My Hako Pro box now has “system picker” option but when I click on it Tivimate force closes.

I don’t remember the preview being smaller. You got double lines on your program names or something else.? I still got the grid lines, they’re faint that they’re there.

Single line only and I removed channel names and numbers. The top bar is double height compared to what mine use to be. The preview in the top left is 25% higher and wider.

Mine updated and put all my categories into alphabetical order and screwed it all up. Anyone know how to move categories manually?

Settings>Appearance>Groups>Groups sorting>By order in playlist.
Try that. Or
Settings>Playlists> Select a playlist>Manage groups>Groups sorting>Manual> reorder groups
Or use @Sketch s method. Both do the same thing. :laughing: More than one way to get er done.

I’m seeing quite a few complaints regarding V5 here and on Reddit so for now, I will be keeping V4.7.0 in the TROYPOINT Toolbox. Hopefully we get a message from Alex the dev on some of this.

That’s odd. V5 is working great on my Shield Pro. Just have to redo the visual layout. My biggest complaint is the top bar is 1/3 of the screen height as is the channel preview.

Exactly!

How do you guys read all the stuff?, do you ever go outside?.
Hey Troy you think you could ask Alex to make Tivimate record by name instead of time and date?

Home alone, wife working, Son left home years ago.Nothing to do all day except play with these stupid devices. :rofl:

A few questions regarding 5.0.0
Is there any issues that this update fixed?
My Recordings “page” is intirely different.
Very hard to follow.
I Just downloaded it 5.0.0 a few min ago.
Any one else having/seeing differences?

I haven’t encountered any issues per se,but I don’t like the appearance as good as the previous version.

A couple of complaints. Colour scheme is to dark on every colour choice and the top bar now takes up 1/3 of the screen.

Actually finding a smoother experience. @Miki, I think I always had the 1/3 top even on 4.7.0
As far as visibility, I have font size set to medium, background color Indigo and selection color Teal. I actually like this look alot. Am seeing alot of unhappy people on Reddit but I’m not experiencing any of the problems I’m reading about. I didn’t even have to re-sort anything when I updated.

IMHO the complexities of android are ever changing and app developers must be in tune with and keep up with these changes most important being android tv and certified devices. Just a guess here that tivimate has not kept up due to updates from the product. I put more trust in a developer who is active and that does not always mean the newer is better. The issues you read about alot here on Troypoint and elsewhere involve recording and internal/external access. An active developer would have no problem solving these issues imho.
