Your device. Your player.

Choose a player above to see its guide. App availability depends on your device model and region.

Step 1: Check the operating system

Open your TV’s Settings and About information. Google TV and Android TV support TV apps, but a television from the same brand may instead run VIDAA, Roku, Tizen or another system. Use the matching device guide if it is not Android TV or Google TV.

Android TV & Google TV · Hot Player

Hot Player setup on Android TV & Google TV

Step 1: Install Hot Player on Android TV & Google TV

On your Android TV or Google TV, open Apps or Google Play and search for Hot Player. Compare the publisher with the listing linked from hotplayer.app, choose Install and then Open.

Step 2: Read the MAC address inside Hot Player

Leave the player open and find its device information. Copy the MAC address displayed by Hot Player itself. The TV’s Wi-Fi or Ethernet address is not automatically the same identifier.

Step 3: Add your playlist on the official website

On a phone or computer, open Hot Player Upload List. Enter the app-displayed MAC address and continue to the playlist manager. Give the list a recognizable name. For M3U, paste the complete provider URL; if an Xtream form is offered, enter the server, username and password separately. Save the entry.

Step 4: Return to the player and refresh

On this device, refresh Hot Player or close and reopen it. Choose the saved playlist, try two channels and check sound. If player activation is requested, check the app’s own license conditions; activation does not purchase or renew a TVbrick content account.

For app-wide compatibility and licensing, see the Hot Player overview.

Android TV & Google TV · IBO Player Pro

IBO Player Pro setup on Android TV & Google TV

Step 1: Install IBO Player Pro on Android TV & Google TV

On the TV, use the Android TV store link provided at iboplayer.pro. Install the matching IBO Player Pro product and open it. If the store does not list it for your device, check the developer’s Android download and device compatibility before proceeding.

Step 2: Find MAC Address and Device Key

Read both values inside the installed IBO application. Keep that screen available while using the manager on another browser. Match the product to iboplayer.pro; similar IBO names can use different management websites.

Step 3: Log in and save your M3U playlist

Open IBO Player Pro’s device manager on your phone or computer. Enter the app’s MAC Address and Device Key, select Login and add your supplied M3U playlist after the device is recognized. Use the complete playlist URL, not only a short server endpoint, and save the entry.

The screenshot shows the public device-login form. The playlist manager behind it needs your own device details; keep keys and playlist tokens private.

Step 4: Reload the app on this device

Return to IBO, refresh or reopen it and select the saved playlist. Test a channel and audio before changing other settings. The player’s license and provider subscription are separate. If you received only separate account fields, ask the provider for the playlist format supported by this app.

For app-wide compatibility and licensing, see the IBO Player Pro overview.

Android TV & Google TV · TiviMate

TiviMate setup on Android TV & Google TV

Step 1: Install TiviMate on Android TV & Google TV

Open Google Play on the TV, or search Apps on Google TV, for TiviMate IPTV Player. Match the listing with tivimate.com, then install and open it. If it is unavailable, check the developer’s current device requirements and official download route.

Step 2: Choose Add playlist

Open TiviMate and select Add playlist. Choose Xtream Codes if your account has a server address, username and password, or choose M3U for a complete playlist URL. Your TiviMate Premium account is not the provider login.

Step 3: Enter the provider fields

In Xtream Codes login, type the server address with its protocol and any port, followed by the exact username and password. Select Include VOD if desired and supplied with the account. For M3U, paste the entire playlist link in the URL field instead.

Step 4: Import the guide and check playback

Continue and allow the playlist to import. Add an EPG URL only if your method needs one and the provider supplied it. Set your device’s actual local time zone, update guide data and check two channels, sound and remote navigation. Review Premium feature requirements separately from content access.

For app-wide compatibility and licensing, see the TiviMate overview.

Android TV & Google TV · Smarters Pro

Smarters Pro setup on Android TV & Google TV

Step 1: Install Smarters Pro on Android TV & Google TV

Choose the Android TV release linked from smarterspro.com, then install the matching TV app through its supported store or official download route. Open the TV release; do not substitute the phone-only version.

Step 2: Select the provider or playlist method

Open the application and choose the supported method for adding your provider account or playlist. In the documented mobile interface, Player API and M3U URL/FILE are separate choices. TV and Windows releases can show different labels; use the method offered in your installed version.

Step 3: Enter your account or playlist

For an API-style login, enter the provider server URL, username and password in separate fields. A display or playlist name is a label of your choice. For M3U, paste the full playlist link; choose the playlist URL option rather than a local file upload. Do not enter your Apple, Google or Windows account password in provider fields.

Server URL
The provider endpoint, including protocol and any port.
Username / password
The credentials supplied for your content account.
M3U URL
The complete playlist link, used only with the playlist method.

Step 4: Load and test on this device

Submit the details, let the first import finish and check live playback and audio. If authentication fails, compare the fields with the original provider message and confirm account validity. If the playlist loads but playback fails, stop other streams and check the simultaneous-connection allowance.

For app-wide compatibility and licensing, see the Smarters Pro overview.

Final checks: Load the guide and test the remote

Let the playlist finish importing. Check navigation with the remote, audio, subtitles when available and guide timing. Set your local time zone before changing EPG offsets. If playback fails, test one other channel before changing app settings.

Android TV & Google TV setup troubleshooting

Invalid login or empty playlist

Compare the selected login method with the details you received. Remove accidental spaces, preserve uppercase letters and keep any port number. Confirm the account is active before repeatedly importing the same playlist.

Playlist loads but playback fails

Try a second channel and stop playback on other devices. Note whether all streams fail or only one. This helps separate an account or connection problem from an unavailable individual stream.

Missing or incorrect program guide

Refresh guide data, verify your local US time zone and check the channel feed. Some channels have no guide data; a blank EPG alone does not mean login failed.

For help, contact TVbrick support with the device model, app version, exact error and the step where it happened. Hide credentials in any screenshot.

Android TV & Google TV setup FAQs

Are Android TV and an Android phone the same setup?

They share an Android foundation, but TV apps are built for a remote. Use the phone guide for touch-screen devices.

Can I use TiviMate on Google TV?

TiviMate is designed for Android TV devices. Check its current official listing for your specific Google TV model.

What if the TV brand is Hisense?

Check its operating system. A Hisense TV can require a different guide depending on whether it runs Google TV, Android TV or VIDAA.

Sources and version notes

This guide uses developer documentation and published interface examples, not a hands-on test of every device model. Check the current listing on your own device before installing.
