Gonna post this here instead of creating a new topic, because this is related to the Android 11 update.
Ok, hereās the solution for storing backups and recording in Tivimate. When you go to do a backup for the first time use the feature named, āSystem Pickerā. Then go back to you file explore and scroll down to find it. Then you can rename the File. For recordings I made a file in the same place. Then the path for your recordings is set. Now with the backups. It seems you can select the folder but you stiil need to go through System Picker. Then you choose your folder from there and the backup will proceed as normal. I donāt understand why you must keep on selecting System Picker, but if you donāt then the backup will fail. Itās not that big of a deal. Just a couple of extra steps.
I hate to say it but eventually all boxes will be this way what we need to do is learn how to get around it so we can do what we want to do with them not what they allow us to do. With the amount of money invested in a good box I canāt afford to just get another one. I have been around quite awhile been through all the different ways and boxes getting codes and everything and there is always a fix for everything. I never let anything I have auto update from my phone to computer everything has to ask. This has been coming for a while and hate to say is only going to get worse . Keep streaming donāt let them win
I wonder what will eventually happen when android, google, apple, Windows and other major operating systems decide to stop allowing certain apps you want to even work unless you agree to allow continuing updates to their operating systems. Right now anyone with an older apple or windows device with āoutdatedā hardware canāt update their operating system beyond a certain point and as new versions of apps are released, they increasingly will not work with the older operating systems. This is engineered obsolescence and I fear eventually this will infect android devices over time. I hope I am wrong.
I personally donāt think you are wrong. A time will come where you buy a device to do a specific function and then have to pay for āmodulesā to expand the functionality. There are already proprietary OSs that ordinary ppl simply canāt hack and decode. But Iām an old fart and Iāve seen the electronic evolution from the first TVās to computers to robots, AI and āstreamingā. It took less than 50 yrs to get here and now our futures are being controlled by the Amazon and Google gods. Not sure what youāre all going to do, but I may have 15 to 20 years left and donāt see it getting better. Electronic revolution perhaps.
Have fun and STREAM ON.
I am just a lay man on understanding all these technological battles, but I would put my money on it continuing to be a cat and mouse game of give and take. That is the beauty of the nature of fast paced technological change.
I leave it on but unless you intend on swapping in and out new BT devices it really isnāt needed. You can always manage adding of BT devices manually. Of course if youāre getting annoying constant bluetooth pairing requests on the screen, turn it off.
