News & guides

Version 1.2 rolls out this week on Android TV. The EPG now loads per category instead of all at once, cutting guide load time on 10,000+ channel playlists from ~20s to under 2s. Catch-up is supported where your Xtream provider offers it. Update from Google Play and restart once.

Playlists with 30,000+ VOD entries can exhaust memory on low-RAM TV boxes. iboMate loads sections by category by default for exactly this reason. If you prefer an "all in one" view, enable it in Settings → Loading mode — but on 1GB devices we recommend keeping category mode and letting each section settle a few seconds before switching.

Any playlist can be locked with a PIN from the web manager. A locked playlist can’t be opened, edited or deleted — on the device or on this site — without the PIN. Handy for shared living-room TVs. Set it when adding the playlist, or later via Edit.

Android and Android TV are live. Next up: iOS (beta in September), then Samsung Tizen and LG webOS before the end of the year, with Windows and macOS desktop builds to follow. Activation covers the device regardless of platform.

The first public release is out: M3U and Xtream playlist support, live TV with EPG, VOD and series with resume, multiple playlists per device and a 7-day full trial.
