Google TV and Android TV
On a Google TV or Android TV device, the TiviMate app installs from Google Play. Its free version is enough to watch the channels in your subscription.
What to do
Chromecast with Google TV, Google TV Streamer, Nvidia Shield, and Sony, TCL or Hisense TVs with Google TV.
-
Open Google Play on the TV, search for “TiviMate” and install TiviMate IPTV Player.
-
Open TiviMate and add a playlist of type “Xtream Codes”.
-
Type the portal address in the server address box, then your username and your password, and continue.
The free version is enough to watch. If TiviMate offers Premium, for example for favourites, you can ignore it. Premium is paid to TiviMate, not to us.
Typing your information
Uppercase and lowercase letters matter. Easiest: open your account on a phone and copy them over. On Google TV and Apple TV, the phone can also be the keyboard.
Type the whole portal address: it starts with http and ends with the number after the colon, with no spaces and no slash at the end. Always choose Xtream Codes, never Stalker or MAC portal.
One screen at a time, this site’s player included. Before switching devices, close the app or the tab on the other one, then wait a minute.
What you got
Three pieces of information, typed once per device.
- A username
- A string of letters and numbers. It’s not your email.
- A password
- The one for your TV access. It’s not the one for your account on this site.
- A portal address
- It starts with http. Depending on the app, it’s called “portal”, “server”, “host” or “URL”.
You’ll find all three in My account.
When it doesn’t work
- The picture freezes or keeps spinning
- It’s almost always the internet connection. Move the device closer to the router or plug it in by cable. Otherwise, close the app and reopen it.
- It cuts out when someone else is watching
- That’s normal: a subscription allows one device at a time.
- The app says the credentials are wrong
- Check the uppercase letters, and that you typed the password for your TV access, not the one for your account on this site.
- Nothing loads at all
- Check the end date in your account: a subscription that has ended stops working without warning.
