TiviMate not working: fixes by symptom

TiviMate is a player, so when it “stops working” the cause is usually the playlist, the provider’s server, the connection or the device, not the app itself. Match what you see to the list below and you’ll find the fix quickly.

If TiviMate crashes or closes

  1. Update TiviMate. On Google TV and Android TV, update from Google Play; on Fire TV, install the latest version from the developer’s download (the app checks for updates itself).
  2. Free storage and clear TiviMate’s cache. On a Fire TV, see Fire TV storage full.
  3. Reduce the load: hide unused groups and keep fewer days of guide.
  4. Restart the device.

Before you contact anyone

  • Test your login in another app. If it fails there too, the issue is the login, the server or your connection, not TiviMate.
  • Test on mobile data to rule out your home network.
  • Check the date and time on your device; a wrong clock breaks the guide and catch-up.

When it’s the provider

If nothing loads on any device and the login is correct, your provider’s server is the likely cause. See server unavailable or not responding to confirm before contacting them.

FAQ

TiviMate problem questions

Why did TiviMate stop working suddenly?

The most common reasons are an expired or changed login, a provider server outage, or the playlist needing a refresh. Check the login and test it in another app or on another device.

Why is TiviMate asking me to buy Premium again?

The device may have lost its link to your Premium account, for example after reinstalling. Sign in to the same account, or reactivate the device with the TiviMate Companion app.

Can I reinstall TiviMate without losing my setup?

TiviMate can back up and restore its settings; make a backup first. Reinstalling without one means adding your playlist and settings again.
