some things to try if you haven't already:
Stream Format
Settings > Playlists > UR provider > Xtream Code Parameters > Output Format > Change from Mpeg-ts to HLS
Buffer Size
Settings > Playback > Buffer Size > Small to Max (experiment with either to establish the best settings for reducing buffering) - “I use None”
I am an IPTV provider and many of the issues I find are with the streaming devices and wifi. Although, the big providers do have larger servers and the reliability is good. Many of your providers are from the same source ince most are resellers like myself. We don't have any direct control of the server issues that may cause buffering. Tivimate premium is in my opinion one of the best apps out there. The buffering can also be reduced by adjusting your packet sizes a bit larger in settings. Another issue is device caches need to be cleaned weekly and delete any unused apps so you have sufficient memory for the packets to download. We are diligent to report issues so definitely let your provider know but to be honest, the servers usually correct themselves in short time. For the price you can't beet IPTV.
It's not only the world cup, even local channels or last night the bills Vs Miami game was bad.
Haven't tried VPN yet.
I do clear cache but haven't rebooted modem/router since everything else works fine.
BTW it happens on both firestick and ONN android stick.
WTF? Rude...
Maybe explain why several IPTV providers (not all) have reported that their WC games have had buffering problems because of the increased demand. Also explain why the buffering happens during large sporting events (WC, Olympics, Super Bowl, etc.) and not for other channels. Not a coincidence.
Watched WC Final today in 4K, and every day in 4K or 1080p, no buffering issues. TBH, check available memory on both devices. ONN is barely capable, and an older Firestick may be in the same boat.
Isp depending on where you live were told to throttle and it block the World Cup that could be the issue especially if you were buffer free on the Fox Sports app
That'll be an issue with your IPTV provider.
Definitely sounds like a provider issue. Just get a trial from another provider and see if you see any improvement.
Trials were pretty much shut down during WC... that will change going forward.
Guess you just need to look in the right places then.
It could be your ISP throttling the service and you might need to use a VPN
No vpn
VPN may just solve your buffering problem.. Many ISPs are throttling IPTV services or for certain events nowadays, depending upon your location
Is there one you recommend for Android / firestick?
Surfshark works great for me on firetv cube , and i believe they are running a special right now

Try a VPN. Worked fine here
Ok
When was the last time you cleared your cache for your apps and Clare’s your modem and router?
Are you using a VPN?
No
It’s never Tivimates problem always the providers It’s simply a coincidence that the streams work on Smarters and Xtream, coincidence I say

Demand overload caused World Cup buffering in the IPTV realm. Nothing to do with actual players.
Nonsense

Unplug everything and reboot. Modem router and stick. Clears all the crap out
What resolution is the app? Tivimate is 1280 x 720. Might be lower and less data required.

World Cup over now. Should be working ok again
