IPTV on TiviMate
Configure the TiviMate app on Android-based devices for a guide-focused IPTV experience.
What you'll need
An Android, Android TV, or Fire TV device
TiviMate installed from the Play Store or Amazon Appstore
Your IPTV Portal playlist URL and, if supplied, an EPG/XMLTV URL
Recommended setup approach
TiviMate is a popular third-party IPTV player known for its EPG-first interface, built specifically around navigating large channel lists by program guide rather than a flat list. It's not affiliated with any specific IPTV provider — it works with any valid M3U playlist.
Installation steps
- 1
Install TiviMate
Search for TiviMate in the Play Store or Amazon Appstore, depending on your device.
- 2
Add a new playlist
On first launch, choose to add a playlist and select 'M3U URL' as the source.
- 3
Paste your playlist URL
Enter the M3U URL from your IPTV Portal account.
- 4
Add your EPG source
If your account includes a separate XMLTV guide URL, add it in TiviMate's EPG settings.
- 5
Organize channel groups
TiviMate lets you create custom channel groups and favorites for easier browsing.
Configuration information
TiviMate needs the playlist (M3U) URL at minimum; EPG data is a separate optional field in its settings if your account provides an XMLTV guide URL.
Common issues
Guide is empty despite channels loading
Add the EPG/XMLTV URL separately in TiviMate's settings — it isn't always bundled with the playlist automatically.
Free version limitations
TiviMate's free tier restricts the number of playlists and some features; a one-time premium purchase unlocks the full app.
