In this video I show how to record IPTV with TiviMate on the Firestick, Fire TV, NVIDIA Shield, Android TV Boxes, phones, and tablets.
I will show how to record via USB OTG on the Fire TV Stick.
I also demonstrate how to record to LAN attached device such as Windows PC, Plex NAS, Mac, and Linux computers.
TiviMate allows for scheduling IPTV recordings and also provides customizations that allow you to unleash the true power of your IPTV service.
In this video I assume that you’ve already installed TiviMate IPTV Player per my setup video that can be found here –

Is usb set to fat 32
No one ever seems to show how the player features if any work. Of course it plays when you click play, but how do you operate pause, rewind, ffwd etc. This is important to me as there are a lot of crappy and hard to use players.
Is there a way you can store recordings on to cloud like one drive and Google drive with TiVimate
I know you won't respond to this but im using tivimate and it only recorded 28 mins of a recording that was suppose to be recording 35mins pls anyone help
I watch everything from a recording. I am trying to find an iptv service that has catch up or preferably a dvr service (cloud). I looked at your webpage with iptv services. You have about 15 there and you list most of them as having catchup. I have contacted half of them at this point and they all are saying they have no catchup. And many of them really don't answer many of my typical 4 questions. Are there any iptv services that have catchup or dvr? Most of the content I watch would work with say 3 or 7 days. Any ideas where to go? I am not talking about youboobtv, sling etc. I had Playstation Vue until they gave it up and I was very happy with them. Too bad they are gone.
Great Tutorial! I have one question: I setup my flash drive with a Tivimate directory just like you did with the file xplorer. I confirmed that that the flash drive had the almost complete 64GB. When I tried a scheduled recording and a custom recording, it just recorded 1 minute and stopped. Am I missing a step somewhere int he process? Thanks!
What's the help with the Cloudflare alternate dns? worth getting?
I have tivimate premium installed but I cannot point my recordings folder to either the external storage I have installed or the plex server I have also attempted to install. I have followed your video (very good by the way) step by step but it is not working. What have I missed?
Troy, I got a correctly formatteg hard drive (FAT32) connected and it's recognized by XPlore File Manager, but when I go to change the folder in Tivimate, it's not showing there. Any suggestions?
Thank you for creating and publishing this video. It helped me a lot.
Grest video. I have setup this up to my synology NAS. I am guessing as firestick is connected to TV, if TV is off, it won't be able to record? Is there a way that I can enable the TV to power on or be in standby for the firestick to record the show? thanks
Which IPTV is good? Troy what IPTV at you using in the video?
@Troy Awesome video for Recording in Tivimate. I have a question Please? I noticed that I was trying to record on my Firestick with the New 2021 version 3.5 and of course wireless, I noticed now when Recording is going on and you change to another channel, it's starts to do Alot of repeating and jumping. But on the previous version of Tivimate it worked perfectly! Do you have or know of a solution to this?
Thank you so much.
You are a great help showing how to setup Tivimate. I have a SuperBox SP Pro 2 with my Lacie 1TB drive hooked up to it. My only issue is when setting the path for recordings is when I go to the Lacie folder it will not access the subdirectories. I setup a Tivimate folder on the Lacie drive on my PC before hooking it to my SuperBox. What am I missing here? Xplorer file manager does not see the Lacie drive.
Thanks a lot I used to do it as a file and It didn't work so my mistake was doing file instead of folder
Great job. I was wondering if I could exit the app and use another app during recording. Thanks for answering that. Iâll try it on the shield.
I have a MeCool KM6 with 64 GB internal storage. I found that trying to record on this device doesn't work well. It never records the full 60 mins of an episode, sometimes only 2 mins. So I attached an external hard drive and now it records and entire program. Just seems strange That I couldn't use the internal storage.
MVP!!! đŻ!!! If u wanna save stuff to a USB stick this is the video!!
I have TiviMate up and running, but I cannot record because I cannot
create a directory under Android on the USB drive. I'm using a UGreen
USB 3.0 Hub Ethernet Adapter and Sandisk 128GB USB 3.1 flash drive. It
is FAT32. I've tried different file managers, but no go with directory
creation.
Can you shed light as to why all my attempts to record one hour shows only record about 20mins? I have 5 connections through my IPTV supplier. Also, I am using Ubuntu 20.4 file server with Samba. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Xplorer file manager will not open for me for some reason, anyone else having issues?
Problem is scheduling something in advanced with the firestick because it shuts off after a few hours and doesn't record regardless.
Very informative but I do have a question. I pointed Tivimate to my WD My Cloud NAS. Tivimate only records a bit of the program, up to 9 minutes of what should be an hour recording. But if I point Tivimate to a USB drive attached to the Firestick, then it records just as it should. I don't think the NAS needs Plex for simply recording TV shows? Should I try a different NAS or am I missing something when using the My Cloud NAS?
@TROYPOINT May I ask what IPTV service provider you are using. ? I see you have BET etc. and would like to have those same channel s. Thank you
Depending on the service and your box. Recording has never been great with iptv
No matter what I'm recording the show buffers every 5 to 10 seconds, but when I quit the recording there's no buffering whatsoever. Any suggestions?
I am using chromecast with google tv and i can't create a folder in the external usb. Is there anything else i could try?
Great video đč
what file extension does it save as ?????????
can i take the recording file and play it on my pc?
whats the file extension the recording is saved as??
I would go down this path if there was a way to schedule series. Why has that not been done so far?
Used your tutorial and it works but I am having one issue. In my testing I am finding that often a recording shows it only recorded for 5 minutes (example) but then continues to play after that time mark. The issue with this is I am unable to FF or RW after that time mark. To rule out a connection usage error I recorded during a time when none of my 4 connections were being used. My setup is as yours in the video with a 128 3.0 USB with an OTG cable. Any other ideas to troubleshoot or could this be a bug within TiViMate?
Looks like TiviMate saves the files as .ts and Plex doesn't recognize it. Do you have a solution? Maybe an automated file conversion to a compatible format that Plex can read?
One question please,does it work with extern hdd 4TB?Thanks!
Why would I get a âDataFileExceptionâ on a recording. I have a 1tb ssd attached. When I go into the recording folder it looks like everything recorded fine, but when I go to play it I get the message?
You're amazing … many thanks and highly appreciate your job.
moreover, I'd like to get your help cuz for me it's recording well however once select usb it refuse to record and give me failed msg
Does it actually record the shows and are you able to watch the recordings with no problems? I've tried other services before and recording feats did not work
Hello
I have my 1gb usb hard drive attached to my fire tv cube.
It shows up in my My Fire tv section and I can download apps and transfer apps to and from the hard drive.
But when I follow your instructions and install the x plore app, the USB drive is not showing up. All that it shows is the
Internal shared storage and Root
The Android/USB does not show up like in your video instructions.
PLEASE HELP
I have the OTB cable and a USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter Hub, and a 128g flash drive. How do I set it up using all the items? I also want to connect an Ethernet cable from my modem. Any help would be appreciated.
I recently subscribed and watched your awesome video. I have a Fire TV Cube so using the OTG cable how do I input the Ethernet cable? Everything else makes sense. ty
Troy I forgot to ask you, that if you can will you tell me how I could get the server address for Xtream Codes login info. Thanks William,
Hi Iâm having trouble recording with tivimate most recordings that I play back start at the end of the show and Iâm unable to rewind them to the start of the recording and other times it says itâs been recorded for 20 hours when the show was only an hour long I paid for tivimate premium and an external hard drive to record my iptv and I canât do that so I feel like Iâve just wasted my money if there is any way to fix this issue please let me know
I now running Tivimate. I want to record, but when I shut the TV off it automatically shuts down the NVidia Shield. How can this be resolved. Thanks
How do you access the external storage portion on the USB stick from other network devices? e.g. to play a recording on a PC, or transfer a file from PC to play on Firestick.
