Quick answer

How to set up TiviMate

Install TiviMate from an official store when it is available for your device. Choose Add playlist, select the login type your provider supplied, enter the details, and wait for the playlist and TV guide to sync.

Before you start

Check your device and login details.

Designed for Android TV and remote control use. It is not optimised for touch phones or tablets. Fire TV availability can vary by model and store region.

TiviMate supports Xtream Codes, M3U, and Stalker Portal. Use the method and details your provider supplied. Xtream Codes usually means a server URL, username, and password.

Keep the key private. Your server URL, username, password, M3U link, and device codes can reveal access to your account. Do not include them in public posts or uncropped screenshots.

Setup

Follow these steps in order.

01

Install TiviMate

On Android TV or Google TV, open Google Play and search for TiviMate IPTV Player. Confirm the listing is by Armobsoft FZE. On Fire TV, check the Amazon Appstore first. Store availability depends on the device and region.

02

Start a playlist

Open TiviMate, choose Add playlist, then choose Xtream Codes, M3U playlist, or Stalker Portal to match the details you received. Avoid choosing a format just because its name looks familiar.

03

Enter the playlist details

For Xtream Codes, enter the server address, username, and password in the matching fields. For M3U, enter the complete playlist link. Give the playlist a short name if the app asks, then continue.

04

Finish the channel and guide sync

Let TiviMate load the playlist and any guide data. Select Done or Finish when the app shows the playlist is ready. Open a channel to confirm playback, then use Settings to refresh the playlist or guide if needed.

Make setup easier

A few things that save time.

  • TiviMate is made for TV screens, so navigation is easiest with a remote. Use a phone or computer to copy long credentials only if your device's companion remote supports text entry.
  • The TiviMate Premium upgrade unlocks player features. It does not supply channels or replace an IPTV access key.
  • Start with the default playback settings. Change one option at a time if a stream has a specific issue, so it is easy to undo the change.

If setup gets stuck

Check the small things first.

Playlist cannot be added

Check that the playlist type matches the details you received. For Xtream Codes, the server address is separate from the username and password. Do not paste the entire M3U link into the server field.

Playlist loads but guide is empty

Open playlist or EPG settings and run an update. Check the device's clock and time zone. Some playlists do not include guide data, so ask the provider if an EPG source is supplied.

No channels appear after setup

Wait for the sync to finish, then refresh the playlist. Check that the playlist is active and that any selected groups are not hidden in playlist settings.

TiviMate is missing from the store

Check the device and region support in the official listing. Avoid sideloading installers from unknown sites. A different player listed for your device may be simpler.

Original sources

Check the app publisher's instructions.

App names, store listings, and device support can change. These are the developer or official app-store sources checked for this guide. Last checked 11 October 2026.

Common questions

TiviMate, answered.

Does TiviMate work on an iPhone?

TiviMate's official Google Play listing says it is designed for Android TV and is not optimised for touch devices. Use a player listed in the iPhone App Store instead.

Is TiviMate Premium my IPTV subscription?

No. It is an optional TiviMate app feature upgrade. Your IPTV playlist or key comes separately from your provider.

Can I enter Xtream Codes in TiviMate?

Yes. The Google Play listing includes Xtream Codes support. Select that playlist type and enter the server URL, username, and password in their separate fields.
