Over the years, I imagine I have tried a couple of dozen IPTV players. However, I have consistently and only used TiviMate daily. I have taken longer looks at some, notably iMPlayer, Sparkle, OTT Navigator, and from time to time, I still use IPTV Smarters Pro for testing random playlists I don't want to put on TiviMate. TiviMate can be used for free in a limited way. The lifetime purchase is $33.99 for five devices. You can download the APK from their website using the embedded link on the first line of this message. [Not everyone will agree with me, people like what they get used to]

Amazon has warned that XCIPTV will be disabled. Maybe it will, maybe not. At times, developers have been warned or had their apps removed until they altered their terms of service. In this case, it specifically states it provides access to licensed content. It's hard to say what will happen going forward in the Amazon store, or the Google Play Store, but you most definitely will at least have more control over what you do with a device such as the Android available from @husham - It provides you with more options. But who knows what the future will bring?

I appreciate the video but if you could send me the URL. I am using a fire cube. Thanks

The website portal works for me. The service is rough tonight. Freezing , buffering and looping on most channels.

That's the idea,... none here.

It's been kicked out by AMZN. You'll have to find another application. You can browse the Husham Forum IPTV Apps section for some information. I have no doubt tested more than twenty apps over the years, and continue to use TiviMate - You can download it directly from their site. The app is free to use in a rather limited manner. The lifetime purchase for five devices is $33.99 - Search around and try before you buy. There is a very interesting new app called Streamvault (Github). It's a rather remarkably polished, brand-new, totally free side project from the developer. You can also find some information on Reddit - StreamVault | free IPTV player. It's a known issue crashing on Fire devices, but it works amazingly well on an ONN or similar device. Something to keep an eye on. There is no shortage of apps better than XCIPTV IMO. Good luck.
Sorry if I'm late to the party but is PDS Live giving other folks issues? I'm using Tivimate and it seems to play well for a bit then it buffers. I go to a different channel and then back and it's fine again until the next buffer a few minutes later. I'm using a 4k Max Gen 2 firestick that I blocked from updates last year to prevent Amazon from disabling apks. The firestick is in the same room as my router so wifi is strong.

It's possible the issue is with your isp. My opinion is to use a vpn to eliminate that issue. I have been for over 10 yrs and do not have buffering issues. Cheers
I've been using Surfshark but will change the location and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for you help.

It is a repeat of the situation a couple of months ago that took weeks to clear. There have been many suggestions to get around the problem. Notably:
If you are struggling to pay an invoice or add a card, the most successful "path of least resistance" reported by the community is:
- Switch to a PC/Desktop rather than a mobile device or TV box.
- Turn OFF your VPN entirely for the duration of the payment.
- Open an Incognito window to bypass any cached data.
- If credit cards continue to fail, check the portal for Bitcoin/Crypto options, which many providers are moving toward as a more stable (though less convenient) alternative.

Yes, it's gone. Look above a bit at a reply of mine.

that sucks i have had no luck with any other service
Offline
Well, XCIPTV is just a player, not a "service," and IMO there are a dozen that are better.
Offline
Ya that what i mean i have had no luck using other players
Offline
Let me be totally candid with you. If you have no "luck" with other players, you need to do more homework on utilizing IPTV because it doesn't revolve around XCIPTV. Personally, I've always thought it sucked. Do a bit of homework, and I think you'll find any number of players that will work for you just fine.

how many connections does PDSlive all access (not hiddenserve) come with? The details on the website page says one but in tivimate it tells me i have two.
Offline
All access is one, Family access is 2, Family access+ is 3.
However, I have a feeling it wasn't always that way.
Offline
Do you know how to add another connection? I tried looking in service add-ons but it shows nothing. Can't seem to find out how.
Offline
I can't say, I assume you would have to change your "plan" with them, or ... if I'm not mistaken, you can add one connection for seven bucks, which seems disproportionate with the value of the service. Touch base with them, but of course, getting responses is challenging of late.
Offline
Anyone looking to still use hiddenserve, the PDS website still allows for new service purchases. i even had a ticket answered by a admin. It seems to be working for now but i wouldn't be surprised if whatever happend to hiddenserve happens to PDS in the future.
Offline
Everyone is having this problem. You can continue to try and get things sorted out, or move on.
My personal preference as a subscriber is Mobus - I have been a subscriber for years, and I believe that while there is no perfect service despite those claiming uptime of 99.9%, that's crap. But you get good value for the price with Mobus, and I know that @Oddballs goes the extra mile to keep things running smoothly have satisfied customers. I know that because he'll tell you what a pain in the ass I am.
*I want to make it clear that while my badge indicates staff, I have no affiliation with @husham or the forum and receive no compensation from Mosub. I pay what you pay, and I'm just a "helper" here on site. Nothing more.
Thanks Mike. Its time to change providers!
Thanks Mike. Its time to change providers.
hello i just switched to PDSLIVE from hiddenserv, same exact iptv service using the same server url. Hiddenserv had adult channels, i dont see them in pdslive. on hiddenserv you had to open a ticket for them to add them, i opened a ticket on pdslive but nobody replied. anyone else on pdslive have the adult channels and if so how did you get them thx
Offline
It's a bit vague in the language regarding adult channels now with PDS. They have all access, family access, and family access plus, but those now seem only to differ in the number of connections. In the past, you had to order the service w/or without the adult. I have no idea what they're doing now in handling that. Not sure they do either.
Offline
I can't say for sure, but it may be the Fire OS. One of my Cubes is stuck on 7.6.8.8. and it's possible less checking takes place with that, or I'm just using better versions of some APKs. It's personal preference, but I never saw why anyone stuck with XCIPTV anyway.
What do you recommend I use
Offline
Personally, I use TiviMate exclusively and have for some time. It has the best look and feel and is highly customizable. I have IMPlayer, but I view it as a TiviMate wannabe. I use OTT Navigator at times to test playlists. Feature-rich, highly customizable, but a bit of a learning curve; excellent. I dabble with Sparkle, but while clean looking, I find it awkward to use. I still have an IPTV Smarters that has improved somewhat over the years. It works and people like it, but it has a turn-of-the-century feel to me. You can find many others I haven't named. Try em' all.

- Open TiviMate and click on Settings (the gear icon).
- Select Playlists and then choose Add playlist.
- Select your preferred format (usually Xtream Codes or M3U Playlist).
- Enter the required credentials (URL, username, and password).
- Tip: You can use a keyboard or the remote companion app for your streaming device (like the Nvidia Shield app) to easily copy and paste the long URLs without manual typing.
- Click Next to let TiviMate process and download your channels.
- Once finished, name your playlist (if prompted) and click Done.
