How To Install and Use TiviMate IPTV Player on Firestick/Android TV Box




tivimate
This step by-step-tutorial will provide you with instructions to Install and Use TiviMate on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV Box.
TiviMate is a popular all-inclusive IPTV Player that works with IPTV Services that provide an M3U URL. Check with your current IPTV provider on whether they grant access to their M3U URL prior to going through this guide.  You can usually find this in the support documents or online discussion board that most IPTV services offer for their subscribers.
There is both a premium version and free version of the software available for use. However, KODIFIREIPTVsuggests purchasing a premium account for a much more enjoyable experience.
The premium option includes the following features not available with the free version:
Support for multiple playlists
Favorites management
Catch-up
Customizable TV Guide update intervals
Customizable Panels transparency and timeout
Manual Channels sorting
Turning on last channel on app start
Auto frame rate (AFR)
Many More
As you can see, without the premium upgrade, there isn’t much sense in using the app.
We suggest first installing the free app via instructions below.  If you like the app, you can register for the premium version and we cover that below as well.

Install TiviMate on Firestick/Fire TV/Android Box

Once you have signed up and registered for an account, you can install the TiviMate App and set up with your preferred IPTV Service.
In this example, I am setting up TiviMate app on an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K.  We must sidel-oad this application due to the fact that it isn’t available inside the Amazon App Store.
If you’re running an Android TV Box, more than likely this app is available in the Google Play Store.  Just search for “TiviMate IPTV Player” and install it.  You may also see TiviMate Companion when performing this search.  That app is only used to register for the premium service which I cover below.
If you have the KODIFIREIPTVApp installed, it is available in the Rapid App Installer.

How To Setup IPTV within TiviMate

After app installation is complete, we can open the app and authorize an IPTV Service for use. In the instance below, we are using Sportz TV which is considered one of the Best IPTV Services available today.
NOTE: Initializing an IPTV Service within TiviMate requires an M3U URL. This can usually be found in your IPTV Service welcome e-mail or by contacting customer support.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We have found that setup within TiviMate will not work if your VPN is turned On. Make sure to turn your VPN OFF prior to integrating your IPTV Service within this app.
After setup is complete, feel free to Connect to your VPN to ensure safe streaming.
Follow the steps below to integrate IPTV Service in TiviMate:
1. Open TiviMate App and click Add Playlist
click add playlist
2. Click Enter URL
click enter URL
3. Enter provided M3U URL from your IPTV Service with your account info inserted.
You will usually have two M3U URLs.  One is for the channel listings and one is for the EPG (TV Guide).  We will insert the EPG M3U URL in step #8 below.
Most M3U URLs require that you input your service username and password.  You will usually see where these go inside the URL as they are indicated by “username=xxxx” & password=xxxx”.  You will input your username and password where the x’s are located.
Here is an example of an M3U URL.  This is not a real M3U URL but this is how the structure typically looks.
http://liveiptvservice.org:86/get.php?username=xxxx&password=xxxx&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
Once you have inserted your username and password into the URL, you can use the bit.ly service and shorten the URL so it is easier to type into the box below.  That’s what we did.
If you don’t want to use bit.ly you need to ensure that the address is typed into the box with no mistakes.  One wrong character in the address and this will not work.
enter m3u URL
4. Click Next.
click next
5. Wait for Channels to insert.

6. You will then see Playlist is processed message with Channel count and your Playlist name. Click Next.

7. We will now insert TV Guide. Choose Enter URL.
choose Enter URL
8. Type the EPG M3U URL or shortened bit.ly URL for your TV Guide.
type EPG M3U Url
9. Click Done.
click done
10. TV Guide will import and you are able to start viewing!

It is important to note that many of the features within TiviMate are not available for those who choose to use the free service.
For example, if you try adding a channel or channels to favorites you will be prompted with the following message:
unlock premium message
For those who wish to use the free version, simply click Cancel and continue with the TiviMate App.
If you purchase the premium option through the TiviMate Companion app, we can login for added benefits.
If you need to create an account, you can follow instructions below on how to do that through Google Play Store.

Install TiviMate Companion App via Google Play Store

TiviMate premium costs only $4.99/yr for 5 devices and that includes a 5 day free trial.
Prior to installing TiviMate Premium, users must register for an Account via the TiviMate Companion App. This app is only available in the Google Play Store, therefore must be installed on Android Device or through BlueStacks or another Android emulator.
If you do not have an Android phone or device, you must install the BlueStacks emulator on your PC to access the Google Play Store.
How To Install Android Apps on PC
Note:  If you’re using a generic Android TV Box with stock Android, you can install TiviMate Companion through the Google Play Store.  Devices running the true Android TV operating system such as NVIDIA SHIELD don’t include this app so you will need to setup an account on an Android phone, tablet, or through BlueStacks.   
Once installed, use the instructions below to setup a TiviMate Account.
1. Open the Google Play Store on your Android Device.  We are using Bluestacks in this tutorial on my Windows PC. Search for “tivimate companion” and select the first choice.

TiviMate Details & Features

Upon installing TiviMate, you will immediately notice the unique interface it provides. This varies from other IPTV Service apps and works fabulously.
The menu bar on the left lists your Playlist Categories or “Groups” as they are referred to in the app. These can be hidden, removed, and managed all within the Settings.
This is a great way to eliminate any unwanted Channel lists that you don’t use or need.
Because of the uncertainty of IPTV Services, KODIFIREIPTValways suggests having a backup for Live TV.
With TiviMate, users can integrate multiple services or “Playlists” within the app meaning you can combine two or more Services into one! This is a great way to ensure your live streaming is always available and manage your favorite channels across multiple platforms.
