Quick Answer: Protect your TiviMate setup by keeping a secure copy of your playlist URLs, Xtream Codes details, EPG URLs, and other configuration information you are allowed to store. Use TiviMate's backup and restore features where available, and never publish credentials.
What Should You Back Up?#
- Playlist URLs you control or are authorized to use.
- Xtream Codes server, username and password.
- Custom EPG sources.
- Important application settings.
- Any TiviMate backup file created by the app.
Why Backup Matters Before Changing Devices#
Rebuilding a large playlist collection manually can take time. A backup or secure record of your configuration can make migration easier when replacing a TV, resetting a device, or troubleshooting corrupted settings.
Keep Credentials Private#
IPTV credentials can provide access to a service. Store them in a password manager or another secure location rather than public notes, screenshots, forums, or repositories.
Restoring a Setup#
Use the backup and restore workflow available in your current TiviMate version. If you are moving to a different device platform, verify that the backup format and settings are supported before deleting the old configuration.
