I use a Nvidia Pro and Nvidia TV (Tube). I have Tivimate set up on both devices. My question is, rather than transfer my Backup file via a flash drive. Is it possible to use the Transfer Files Over Local Network feature located in the Nvidia’s storage settings? I have my Backup File stored in my X-plore app which is on both devices. In other words, can I send a file FROM my Pro, TO my computer, and then TO my Tube. Also, couldn’t the Send Anywhere app be used in a similar fashion to send files to whatever device has the Send Anywhere app installed??

Did it this morning. Just link Google Drive to Xplore on both devices and transfer it that way. Its under web storage in Xplore, just click add server. Make sure the same version of Tivimate is installed on both devices or else the restore won’t work.

Wouldn’t it be a nice update if the dev would write code to be able to create folders within the Favorites folder itself. That way we could just expand a specific folder to reveal what favorites we stored in there. Main Favorites with sub category folders contained within the main. Ex: Main Favorites: Sub folders: TV Shows, Movies, Sports, News, etc… Then hide all the other Categories and just allow favorites to show. This way you could really streamline your Playlist page to a few lines; IPTV Service and Favorites. Maybe the dev could code it so you could make sub folders within subfolders, too: Ex: Main Favorites Folder > Sub Folder MOVIES> sub folder Westerns, Sci-fi, Comedy, Etc

Sounds to me like you guys just have too many favorites lol. By default most IPTV services have categories grouped in different folders. I only favorite about half of US entertainment channels, a handful of sports channels, and movie channels that I watch on a regular basis. Even my favorite teams have dedicated channels you can mark as favorites. Rarely ever do I have to navigate to a different folder, and I don’t feel like it takes me that long to get through all my favorites on the guide.
Now, if I’m just browsing for a movie to watch and I’m looking for a certain genre then I’m not going to use IPTV. I’m going to switch over to another app and use Real Debrid. So maybe that is part of your struggles as well?

Hopefully someone can help. I watched Troy’s tutorial on how to install TiviMate. Because I have a Firetv, I can’t get to Google Store. It sounds like I need an emulator to get the TiviMate companion? Troy makes reference to something called blue stacks but scrolling through his tutorial I can’t see how to get that, in order to register for TiviMate premium. I downloaded blue stacks on my Mac, but I don’t know what to do with it? Jayhawks659 tutorial was great, if you have a shield, so his tutorial didn’t help me. Is there an even more play-by-play tutorial than the one from Troypoint I can follow? I think once I can get an account, I can follow the existing tutorials to add playlist.

Or maybe you could give someone you know with google play… the $ to make an account for you (but use your email if possible) …you dont have to have the app yourself

You don’t need a shield. Once you get it installed it looks the same on a firestick or whatever.

I’ve done this for a few friends lol. Probably the easiest way.

My family is all IOS, so no companion app. I just subscribed through the app on my TiVo Stream 4K.

Personally I wouldn’t put everything under favorites as it would tend to be to many channels to navigate. In fact I hide the Favorites group. My breakown after renaming the groups I want are USA, Canada, UK, Kids, Movies, NFL, 24/7 shows, etc.
I also agree that getting rid of the prefixes and suffixes make it easier view the channel listings. I also start off all my group editing by making sure I sort channels by name. I also just use the copy function to move Local Channels to the USA group and manually reorder them to the top of my list.
I’ve said it numerous times, Tivimate is the best thing out there for organizing your IPTV service. AND UPGRADE TO THEIR PREMIUM VERSIO! The cost is minimal for the flexibility you get in making your IPTV service(s) look like a regular program guide.

@richlibel65 Thanks for that tip. Going to mess around with it more tonight. That’s why I love this place!

Well my issue now is getting an account. As you pointed out below, perhaps asking a friend to do this on an android phone. But first, I realize I didn’t complete my research. If Bluestacks is needed to emulate android and get TiviMate Companion, I will look for tutorials on Bluestacks and see if I can figure things out that way. Thank you to everyone with their suggestions. Tally ho, to Troypoint YouTube!

PROGRESS! I managed to make BlueStacks work so I could open an account in TiviMate Companion.Yeah! Then I I followed Troy’s excellent YouTube & got TiviMate to work with my IPTV Apollo! I understand he will provide another tutorial to learn how to record. I actually figured that out, but we shall see if it works. One problem & one question. The problem is that the tv guide did not load. The channels did, but I can’t see what is playing on the channel. Any suggestions? Question, where does it record the shows? I am guessing not the Cloud. Will I need to add a memory card to my FireTv. I seem to recall that I will. Thank you!
Scroll up. Watch the video.
