i did a search and couldn’t find an answer…it seems system picker inside of tivimate will only work up to OS system android 10?
is system picker not available for tivimate after it’s installed on anything android 11 or higher?
seems to me that’s the case after playing with several of my boxes from android 9 to 12.
android 10 and below have system picker in tivimate but no sys picker on tivimate installed on android 11 and higher?
that sucks as far as recording on the higher os as you can’t pick the directory for your files to be saved?
am i the only one?
thx for you guy’s thought’s on this
does tivimate need to be updated for newer os? original dev no longer supporting it?
What is system picker for Tivimate ?
Yes there is I posted several methods but the bottom line is to roll back the file mgr or uninstall, or if using google files then uninstall that on your device then install a new shortcut. You can also use X-plore to give access permissions to /data and /obb but here is a link to get you started. Lots of reading but it’s doable.
And to give you access to the files

It is a lot of reading to understand but it is doable. I wish it was a simple two sentence explanation but unfortunately it isn’t.
Thx Miki
looks like i have some reading to do but in the meantime it seems like the sparkle app can record to external storage without the system picker option
I’m also haveing the same problem because my system is 11 android I paid for payment and it doesn’t work properly.
System Picker will not work on Android operating system 11 and 12. This is an android issue, not Tivimate.
Thank you Steve for the information I really do appreciate it
This can depend on the device used though. I have the BuzzTV P6L Ultimate and Buzz program in a work around and even though my device is now on Android 13 (Tiramisu) the system picker is active and working. Not sure about the other BuzzTV devices but may be. @TROYPOINT would have to chime in as Troy has tested most of these devices.
I was quoting form the Tivimate Users Guide, Section 29, Recording.
There are enough inquisitive minds that someone might fight a work around.
There actually have been workarounds posted since the release of ‘droid 11 and up. I use to post them but gave up as noone wanted to use them and give it a go. It had to do with deleting the native '“files” app and replacing it.
Thats understandable. When I record, which is seldom, I use the internal storage. Its a nice option to have, but not a deal breaker for me.
Idk anymore. They keep changing stuff lol. But recently, I went to do a backup of Tivimate from my Shield and I couldn’t use system picker. I just saved it to the local drive instead and used X-plore to copy it to the USB drive after. And used the Send files to TV app or whatever that is to transfer to another device.
Send App support a message via email and they should be able to help you,
Tivimate 5.3.2 has fixed the recording to external drive problem on newer android os
