Troubleshooting:
- Incorrect M3U/EPG URL: Double-check the URLs provided by Abyss TV. A single wrong character can prevent TiviMate from working. Contact Abyss TV support if you suspect an issue with the URLs.
- Buffering Issues: Buffering can be caused by a slow internet connection, server issues with Abyss TV, or network congestion. Try restarting your router, checking your internet speed, or contacting Abyss TV support.
- No Channels Showing: Ensure your Abyss TV subscription is active. Contact their support if you're experiencing issues with your service.
- EPG Not Displaying Correctly: Verify the EPG URL is correct. Sometimes EPG data can be incomplete or inaccurate. Contact Abyss TV support for assistance.
- TiviMate App Issues: Try clearing the TiviMate app cache or reinstalling the app.
- No VOD Content: Tivimate > Settings > Playlists > Manage Groups > Movies - Make sure the categories are not hidden.
Tips for a Better Experience:
- Upgrade to TiviMate Premium: The premium version unlocks advanced features like recording, catch-up TV (if supported by Abyss TV), and multiple playlist support.
- Use a VPN: A VPN can improve streaming speeds and provide privacy.
- Explore TiviMate Settings: Customize the app's appearance and behaviour to your preferences.
