What Are Favorites in ViviMate?
Favorites are a convenient way to keep frequently watched channels or media items in an easier-to-access list. Instead of searching through a large playlist every time, you can use your favorites section to quickly find the items you use most often.
The exact favorite options and menu names can vary depending on the ViviMate version and device.
Why Use Favorite Channels?
Large playlists can contain hundreds or thousands of entries. Favorites can reduce the amount of time needed to find channels you watch regularly.
What You Need Before Using Favorites
Before adding channels to favorites, make sure your playlist is already configured and working correctly.
- ViviMate installed on a compatible device
- A working playlist
- Channels or media items available in that playlist
- Access to the playlist navigation interface
If your playlist is not configured yet, start with the ViviMate Playlist Setup Guide .
How to Add a Channel to Favorites in ViviMate

How to Remove a Channel From Favorites

How to Organize Your Favorite Channels
If you use many channels, creating a simple organization strategy can make ViviMate easier to use.
Keep Frequently Watched Channels First
Prioritize the channels you use most often rather than adding everything to favorites.
Remove Unused Channels
Review your favorites from time to time and remove channels that you no longer watch.
Review After Playlist Updates
If a playlist changes, some channels may be renamed, removed, or replaced. Check your favorites after a major playlist update.
Favorites and ViviMate Playlists
Favorites are connected to the content available through your playlist. If the playlist changes, the availability of saved items may also change.
For more information about playlist organization, visit: ViviMate Playlist Setup & Management .

Favorites and ViviMate Settings
Some favorite-related behavior can depend on the application settings and the current version of ViviMate.
If your favorites are not behaving as expected, review your playlist and application settings before making major changes.
See our ViviMate Settings Guide for more configuration information.
