Go to TiviMate > Playlists and select your problematic playlist. Find the Xtream Codes / Stalker Portal parameters . Check the MAC address listed. Note it down.

What are you running TiviMate on (Firestick, Shield, etc.)? Are you connecting via Stalker Portal or Xtream Codes ? Have you checked if a VPN changes the connection error?

Note: Use caution when sharing your credentials with third-party conversion websites. 3. Downgrade TiviMate (Temporary Fix)

"As soon as it got 1/4 of the way through, Malwarebytes blocked the download saying it had an embedded Phishing link".

Request an M3U network link from your IPTV provider. This format does not require any hardware address verification. Copy your unique M3U URL. Choose in TiviMate. Paste the link and let the channels load. 3. Clear App Cache and Data

The absolute best alternative to MAC authentication is the Xtream Codes API. It is faster, more secure, and natively supported by TiviMate.
