Tivimate IPTV Setup Guide: The Same Three Steps in Every Player
Every Tivimate IPTV setup has three steps: install a player, add your account to it, then check that the channels and TV guide have loaded. Only the first step changes from device to device. The account step is the same in every player because the account belongs to your subscription, not to the app.
- 1Install a player. The subscription is not an app; it needs a player to show it. Getting the TiviMate app onto a Firestick, Android TV or onn box is covered in how to install the TiviMate app on each device. This page starts once a player is installed.
- 2Add your account. Open the player's add playlist, add user or account option and choose the login type that matches what you have (see the table below). Copy the details from your welcome message instead of retyping them where you can.
- 3Check the three parts loaded. Live channels should appear first, then the TV guide, then the on-demand sections if your player has them. A large guide can take a few minutes on the first load.
Which login type to choose
| Login type | What you enter | Used by | When to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server login | Server URL, username and password | TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro and most dedicated IPTV players | Use it whenever the player offers it. One login loads live channels, on-demand sections and the TV guide together. |
| Playlist link (M3U) | One long link, plus a separate TV guide (EPG) link | VLC, Kodi and players that have no server login | Use it when the player only accepts a link. The guide has to be added on its own. |
| Portal URL | One portal address | MAG boxes and similar set-top boxes | Use it on set-top boxes that have a portal setting instead of an app store. |
For the difference in more detail, see server login or playlist link: which one to use.
If the login is refused
- ▸ Check that the server URL starts with http:// and includes the port number if your welcome message shows one.
- ▸ Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive. A capital letter typed as lower case is the most common cause.
- ▸ Remove any space copied by accident at the start or end of a field.
- ▸ If the channels load but the guide stays empty, reload the EPG in the player's settings, then see what to do when the IPTV guide is empty.
Which player to use on each device
TiviMate runs only on Android-based TV devices. Everywhere else, use a player made for that platform; your account details are the same.
| Device | Player | Login type |
|---|---|---|
| Firestick / Fire TV | TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro | Server login |
| Android TV, Google TV, onn | TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro | Server login |
| Samsung / LG TV | A player from the TV's app store | Server login or playlist link |
| Apple TV, iPhone, iPad | A player from the App Store | Server login or playlist link |
| Windows PC / Mac | VLC or a desktop IPTV player | Playlist link or server login |
| MAG Box | Built-in portal | Portal URL |
| Kodi | PVR IPTV Simple Client | Playlist link |

Account Setup FAQ
Where do I find my Tivimate IPTV login details?
In the welcome message you receive after ordering. It contains your server URL, username and password. If you need a playlist (M3U) link or a portal URL for a MAG box, ask us on WhatsApp.
Is setting up my account the same as installing the TiviMate app?
No. The TiviMate app is a third-party player made by Armobsoft FZE, and we are not its developer. Installing it puts an empty player on your device. Setting up your account, which this page covers, is the next step: adding your login so the player has channels to show.
Which player should I use for my account?
On a Firestick, Android TV, Google TV or onn box, TiviMate gives you a TV-style channel guide. TiviMate does not exist for iPhone, Apple TV, Samsung, LG, Roku, Windows or Mac, so on those use a player made for that platform. Your account works the same way in any of them.
Should I use the server login or the playlist link?
The server login, if the player offers it. It loads channels, on-demand sections and the TV guide in one step. The playlist link is for players that only accept a link, such as VLC.
Can I add the same account to more than one device?
Yes. Add the same details on each device. How many devices can watch at the same time depends on the plan you choose, so check the pricing page before adding a second screen.
What internet speed do I need?
HD and higher resolutions need far more bandwidth than standard definition. The FCC's broadband speed guide lists typical requirements, and a wired connection is steadier than Wi-Fi.
Do I need to root or jailbreak my device?
No. Every method on this page uses an official app store, sideloading with the Downloader app on Fire TV, or the device's own settings. Nothing requires root access or jailbreaking.
