After an update about 2 years ago tivimate recording has been horrible at least this has been my experience used to work just fine now using server like emby is best recording option for recording IPTV but I know that setup can be expensive so try finding service with catch up. I have one service just bc of the highly functional catch up feature
Copyā¦due to the current environment in iptv landā¦my service stopped their catchup a number of months ago (recorded content 
or whatever its called) thatās when I started recording every now & then with my Tivi playerā¦every recording I made came out fine then & nowā¦& I do remember that wasnāt necessarily the case going back to last yearā¦so, you may want to experiment with Tivi recordings againā¦if for nothing else, just to see if there is a difference for you too 
I could be wrong, and it sounds odd, but Iām pretty sure that issue was solved for me when I used the system picker option to choose the recording folder.

Iām not set up for moving or saving any recordingsā¦just watch & deleteā¦& if I forget to record it, then I watch it in one of my apps. If your cure was just a coincidence or actually stumbling on a fixā¦as long as it works 
Altho, not actually knowing would go against your moniker 
Lol I mean I could uninstall everything and go back through a trial and error process to figure it out. But I just donāt care. There are probably other factors at play here as well. Different devices, different operating systems, etc.

Ha haā¦roger thatā¦after I noticed the wording in your moniker, I couldnāt help but razzing ya. The older I get, the more my philosophy leans to āleave well enough aloneā or āif it aināt brokeā¦ā as Iām quite capable of messing up any & everything. 
Tivimate just too unreliable now idk what happened to them but IPTV extreme app and cosmi tv player and im player recording functions a lot better than tivimate by a long shot now so when I was recording before I got the service with catch up I used one of them instead
ivr really had no issues with tivimate and recording. Recording takes place around the clock. I have Emby, channelsDVR and tivimate all recording to the same shared folder with no issues.

Well TiViMate has been and still is the best IPTV Player on the market. Itās just a player and is often unjustly blamed for issues that are the result of external factors like overloaded servers or poor infrastructure or even sun spots and solar storms. I love it.
Have fun and STREAM ON.

If @pangaeatech would have spent a little extra to get Tivimate ++++ instead of Tivimate +++, it would have created world peace, solved world hunger and eliminated all natural disasters.

Have you experimented with while the recording is in progress if you can RW, pause, and FW to and point while the recording is in progress?
Something like that would be great for watching sports! Then you could rw/pause to review particular events while the game is being played.

Negativeā¦but I will give it a try with the games today. I remember this being talked about but Iāve yet to try it
Have you gotten any results from it?
No, but I really rarely record anything. Maybe I will try later this afternoon to see. I know you can record a game and then you can do all that stuff after it is recorded, but then there is no fun in screaming at the coaches, ref, or players on TV when you already know he outcome. lol
Update: Just now tried about 5 minutes of recording and it seems that idea is a no go! 
Tivimate recording is annoying Iāll just use my apps that recording works on no big deal if I want to record just schedule it on my apps that work but tivimate is good for watching TV though

Any android box with android OS 10 or below will let system picker in Tivimate send recordings to an external drive with no problems if you have a solid stream
for android OS systems 11 and above you can use the sparkle player(in app mode) for flawless recordings to an external drive. and itāll look alot more like tivimate in the app mode
iāve proven this on other forums time and againā¦itās all about the permissionās that are on these 2 playersā¦you need payed versions for both and itās cheap as hell for what you get
iāve been thxād a thousand timesā¦if you want to record this is the simplest way altho there are other waysā¦smb share for oneā¦this is the simplest way to achieve solid recording to external drives

Good day @Comtech I have Android 13 on my Buzz and access to the System picker. So I think it depends somewhat on the Device. Not sure if itās because I have the 64 bit Tivimate either.
