How to Fix TiviMate Error 401 (Unauthorized) Instantly

Seeing "Error 401" on your TiviMate screen? I'll show you why it happens and how to fix it in 60 seconds without losing your settings.

Published: 15 February 2026

The Most Annoying Error

You open TiviMate, ready to watch the match, and you're greeted with a black screen and a "401" message. In plain English, 401 means "The server doesn't know who you are" or "The door is locked."

Why It Happens

  • Expired Subscription: This is the #1 cause. Double-check your expiry date.
  • Typo in Your Details: Did you mix up a zero (0) and an 'O'? Or a lowercase 'L' and an 'I'?
  • Simultaneous Connections: If you have a 1-device plan and someone else is watching, the server will kick you out with a 401 error.

    • The 3-Step Fix

  • Step 1: Log out of your playlist in TiviMate (Settings > Playlists > Your Playlist > Delete or Edit).
  • Step 2: Restart your router and your Firestick. This clears any "ghost" sessions.
  • Step 3: Carefully re-enter your Xtream Codes details.

    • Still Stuck?

    If you've done all three and it's still 401, message our WhatsApp support. We can reset your line at the server end, which usually fixes it instantly.
