Ironic, but expected response. I knew using the term bootleg would raise someone’s antenna. We are all here to receive content that is under intellectual property protection without paying the owners ‘ royalty, yet avoiding payment to an app developer who facilitates the activity is somehow a problem?
Also, I thought the purpose here was to help others, not to criticize participants. Let me just check those guidelines again.
It wasn’t a criticism. You complained about not receiving help to fix a bootleg copy of an app that is %100 legal as it’s only an IPTV player. I was merely pointing out that seeking help for a “bootleg” copy isn’t likely to happen when the app is very inexpensive and the vast majority here dig deep to pay $20/U.S for the Legitimate copy that works flawlessly. This wasn’t a response intended to offend anyone and yes I expressed my opinion as I can and will continue to do. The app was never intended to facilitate “illegal” activity. I use it to stream legal live ad supported TV. So go ahead check those guidlines real close as I doubt you’ll find any stating it’s ok to ask for help fixing a bootleg anything on the “insider”, but I may have missed something.

Oh Miki, I did not complain. I simply stated a fact. You assumed it was a complaint. But, you did kinda step across the guidelines there by not being positive and calling me out. Now, I’ll take it a step further. Your position that you are only using the app to view TV with ads makes it OK is flawed. If you are outside the viewing area covered by the broadcast licensing and not getting the content through a subscription service, you are violating the IP licensing. Any other interpretation is a rationalization.
Thank you for an interesting debate.
God bless you and have a good day.
Actually by your definition then the free Samsung +, and Pluto TV Playlists are illegal. They aren’t. I take it you’ve never looked at the 10 pages of F.A.S.T that I posted months ago. None of which are illegal. I didn’t call you out, you made a statement which makes no sense. Complaining about an app that was basically stolen that in and of itself is not illegal is just silly. Sorry if you consider it as “calling out”, it wasn’t. It’s hard to be “outside” the viewing area as they are readily available on the internet, which, when I last looked is www. Much of what you’re now saying is totally flawed and misleading. Live FREE TV channels are broadcast by the owners. Free Ad Supported TV. So I watch commercials and thus violate no laws. We are getting way off the topic here now. I appreciate having the opportunity to set the record straight, but neither one of us will ever solve this conundrum. It’s up to the powers that be. Have a nice night.
Have Fun and STREAM ON.

And on top of all that, you, a moderator, chose to take this thread completely off topic without reeling it in. I was simply trying to help someone as this group is intended. Had I not been up front about using an unauthorized copy, you would not likely have reacted. True, we could keep going for hours, but I have to wonder if you could everything you watch through the free apps, why don’t you.

I can see where Miki is coming from. Its one thing to help someone using an app just like you currently have and its another trying to help someone using other modified software. Often we try to re-produce the errors posted and try and find a solution. It gets tough to solve software issues with 2 different versions. Often “cracked” software is all bungled up and hard to deal with.

I do use a lot of free tv apps. I also have a lot of legal free playlists with hundreds of channels? I am by no means a moderator. I would not have reacted negatively had you stated you were having issues with TiViMate, but I certainly would have reacted, as I look to assist those seeking genuine help for their “legal” apps. You won’t find one pirated or bootleg app on any of my devices out of respect for hard working app devs. I apologize for my inability to “reel” it in. I have no boundries and speak my mind. I also simply cannot ignore an obvious misleading comment. I’m just a regular guy on the insider, and elsewhere in life. An old one Creaghmi but still ticking along.

Using a bootleg app means it’s a modified version of the original and WILL have issues. He was merely trying to explain that. I dont care if you use hacked apps, non paid apps or modified apps, but when you use a modified app form the original had have issues its most likely your version that’s causing it has it has altered code and we cant support it or help you as its not the right app in question.
You dont have to buy tivimate the non paid version works amazingly well. Infact i used it for like 3 months before i bought it. The choice is yours… There lots of other free iptv player apps out there btw that wont have the same issues, searching this community you will see alot of issues with modified app version and why we dont really suggest using it. So before making such statements id suggest at least looking at options and doing some research.
Again, do what you feel is right for you. lots of options out there. Whatever your disposition is or choice in the matter remember there is all kinds of options. tivimate is one of the best players out there with very little issues. The original poster is going threw something that very few people go threw so it will take time and understanding. Bugs and glitches do happen but not to everyone. if this was happening to everyone it would be widely popular on here. If you went on tivimates telegram and said you used a bootleg version of theirs they would boot you out and not help you.

“So before making such statements id suggest at least looking at options and doing some research”
What statement?
bystander, how about this one You can pm me further, lets try to stay on topic here please. Id get the legit tivimate app to help with your issue.
Gee, such a friendly bunch. And all I did was try to help. Other than mistakenly thinking Miki was a moderator, where did I go wrong? I do my own research and investigate my own problems. I’ve only asked for help here once, but you can rest assured I’ll be completely passive from here on out. If the moderators choose to kick me off, I lose nothing.

I appreciate you trying to help, however with a bootleg copy of tivimate nothing can really solve issues you are having unless you have the legit app, to many variables. Also you are over reacting alot. No one is attacking you or saying you did anything wrong what so ever.
I will say this once again, with a pirated copy of tivimate any issues you face are all on you. The support team of tivimate wont even help. again feel free to use anything you wish. you are taking this pretty hard. Please have a good day.

Hey @scooterboy952. Can you post the playlist that just disappeared, or if not PM me with it? I do know a number of Playlist providers shut down their lists after recent events with a number of site shutdowns. If you have the playlist url then I can research it and see what happened as well as install it into my TiViMate and see if it works. Did you “update” these lists? Have you configured your playlist update options? Are these “free” lists?
