Sup3rmateRecommended Initial Settings
Now you have the premium version, it’s time to start customizing the app.
Note
We all use different devices, sound systems, TVs, and playlists. What works great for one person may not work for you. Change only a few settings at a time and test before changing more.
Playlists
- Go to each playlist, click Manage groups, and turn off the groups you don’t want.
- It may be quicker to hide all groups, then scroll through and just unhide the groups you want.
- Go to Logos priority, set it to Prefer logos from EPG. This changes the logo to what EPG you assign to the playlist or channel. Very helpful if you are missing a logo.
- You can also rename your playlist here if you want.
EPG
- Go to Settings > EPG.
- Click on Past days to keep EPG, set it to 1 unless you use catch-up. This saves past EPG information and takes up a lot of space.
- Store Program Descriptions: On
- Update intervals: 12 hours is good, but 24 is recommended as most EPG providers update every 24 hours.
- Update on app start: Off
- Update on playlist change: On
Appearance / TV Guide
- Preview: On
- Channel Names Editor: On (add prefixes and suffixes to be removed from channel names to clean them up)
- Show Channel Numbers: Off (the channel numbers don’t match and are different in each playlist/group, so it’s easier to just reorder the channels)
Player / Menu
- Enable or disable the buttons on the quick menu and sort them in the order you prefer.
- You can reorder the buttons to move the Exit button to the front for easy closing.
All other settings are personal preference.
Note
Always run a backup when doing customizations. If anything happens, you can restore your settings.
Tip
Change only one thing at a time, give it a couple days, and if everything is working fine, then make another change. If you change too much at once and something breaks, it will be hard to know what caused it.
