TiviMate Setup: Android TV, Playlists & Xtream Codes Login
TiviMate is a TV-focused playlist player. On a compatible Android TV device, install the official app, choose Add playlist and enter either a full M3U URL or the server, username and password supplied for Xtream Codes. TiviMate does not supply the channels. If TVbrick is your IPTV provider, have your supplied account details ready.
Choose your device guide
Have your device model, an active playlist or provider login and your usual internet connection ready. Confirm the player’s licensing conditions separately from channel access. Use only content you are entitled to access.
TVbrick and the app developers are separate businesses. A player download or license does not include a TVbrick subscription. Avoid sharing passwords, device keys or complete playlist links in public screenshots.
Step 1: Check TV compatibility
Use an Android TV or Google TV device, or follow the separate compatible Fire OS walkthrough. TiviMate is intended for television interfaces and is not optimized for phones and tablets. Do not look for the Android APK in the Samsung Tizen, LG webOS or Apple TV app store.
Step 2: Install the official TiviMate app
Follow the Google Play link on tivimate.com, checking availability on your device. If you use the developer’s direct APK, confirm that your device supports Android APK installation. The Firestick walkthrough covers Downloader and permissions. Avoid similarly named websites offering bundled subscriptions.
Step 3: Choose Add playlist and the right format
Open TiviMate and select Add playlist. Pick the method that matches the details you received. Choose M3U for a complete playlist URL or Xtream Codes for three separate account fields. An app-store or TiviMate Premium account is not a substitute for these provider details.
Step 4: Enter the account details
For Xtream Codes, enter the server address exactly as supplied, including its protocol and any port, then the username and password. Include VOD only if you want that content and it is supplied with your account. For M3U, use the full playlist URL instead.
Step 5: Load the playlist and EPG
Continue and wait for the initial import. Check that the list has the expected groups. Add the supplied EPG address if the selected method needs one, then update guide data. Set your device’s real local time zone before applying any channel-specific offset.
Step 6: Test playback before changing settings
Try more than one channel and compare picture, audio and guide timing. Record the exact error if an import fails. Check the original login message for extra spaces or a missing port before deleting the playlist. Review Premium feature requirements in the app separately from your content plan.
TiviMate 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.
TiviMate setup FAQs
Can I use TiviMate on an iPhone?
TiviMate’s TV app is intended for Android TV devices. Use a supported iOS player for an iPhone rather than an Android APK.
Does TiviMate Premium include IPTV channels?
No. Premium app features and provider content access are separate purchases.
Why is my guide an hour wrong?
Check automatic date and time, your local time zone and the channel’s regional feed first. Apply a guide offset only after confirming a consistent mismatch.
Should I convert my M3U link into a server address?
Use the method provided with your account. Ask the provider for separate Xtream details if you prefer that format; guessing a URL can break the login.
