What is TiviMate and what do I need to use it?
TiviMate is a third-party IPTV player app for Android-based devices including Fire TV Stick, Android TV boxes, and Nvidia Shield. By itself, TiviMate displays no content — it is simply a player. To watch live TV, movies, or series, you need an active IPTV subscription that provides either an M3U URL or Xtream Codes (server, username, password). You can get a subscription at IPTVSubscription.me and connect it to TiviMate in minutes.
How do I add an IPTV subscription to TiviMate?
Open TiviMate → tap Add Playlist. You have two options: Xtream Codes API (enter the server URL, username, and password from your IPTVSubscription.me email) or M3U URL (paste your M3U link directly). Xtream Codes is recommended as it also loads your EPG (TV guide) automatically. After adding, TiviMate fetches all your channels, VOD, and EPG in one step.
Is TiviMate free or do I need to pay for it?
TiviMate has a free base version available at tivimate.com that covers the essentials. There is also an optional TiviMate Companion premium add-on (paid, one-time) that unlocks features like DVR recording, multiple playlists, and parental lock. The app itself is separate from your IPTV subscription — you need both the player and an IPTV plan to stream content.
What is the difference between M3U and Xtream Codes in TiviMate?
M3U URL is a single playlist link that loads your channels. It is simple but requires a separate EPG URL for the TV guide. Xtream Codes is a more advanced API connection using a server address, username, and password — it automatically fetches live TV, VOD, series, and EPG in one connection. For most users on IPTVSubscription.me, Xtream Codes is the recommended method because it is more stable and feature-rich.
Why is TiviMate buffering or freezing on my device?
Buffering is usually caused by one of these: slow internet connection (test for at least 10 Mbps), a low buffer size setting, or server load on the IPTV provider side. To fix it in TiviMate: go to Settings → Player → Buffer size and increase it to 15–30 seconds. Also try switching from Wi-Fi to a wired ethernet connection, and if the issue persists, contact IPTVSubscription.me support to check server status.
Can I use TiviMate on Amazon Fire TV Stick?
Yes. TiviMate is not on the Amazon App Store, so you need to sideload it using the Downloader app. First, enable Apps from Unknown Sources in your Fire TV developer settings. Then use Downloader to visit tivimate.com and download the APK directly to your stick. Once installed, add your IPTVSubscription.me credentials and you are ready to stream.
Does IPTVSubscription.me work with TiviMate?
Yes. IPTVSubscription.me provides subscriptions fully compatible with TiviMate via both M3U URL and Xtream Codes. After purchase, you receive your credentials by email within minutes. Simply open TiviMate, tap Add Playlist, choose Xtream Codes or M3U, enter your details, and your channels load automatically — including EPG, VOD, and series.
How do I fix the EPG (TV guide) not showing in TiviMate?
Yes. IPTVSubscription.me provides subscriptions fully compatible with TiviMate via both M3U URL and Xtream Codes. After purchase, you receive your credentials by email within minutes. Simply open TiviMate, tap Add Playlist, choose Xtream Codes or M3U, enter your details, and your channels load automatically — including EPG, VOD, and series.
What is the best IPTV player for Android TV in 2025?
TiviMate is widely considered the best IPTV player for Android TV in 2025 due to its clean interface, robust EPG support, Xtream Codes integration, and multi-playlist management. Other popular options include IPTV Smarters Pro, XCIPTV, and GSE Smart IPTV. TiviMate stands out for its recording capability (Premium) and overall stability. It requires a separate IPTV subscription such as the ones offered by IPTVSubscription.me.
How many devices can I use with one IPTVSubscription.me plan?
The number of simultaneous connections depends on the plan you choose at IPTVSubscription.me. Most plans support 1 to 3 simultaneous streams. Each device running TiviMate with your credentials counts as one connection. If you see a maximum connections reached error in TiviMate, another device on your account is already streaming — pause it before launching on a second device.
Is it legal to use TiviMate with an IPTV subscription?
TiviMate itself is a fully legal media player app available at tivimate.com. The legality of IPTV streaming depends on the content and the provider's licensing. IPTVSubscription.me customers are responsible for verifying that IPTV use complies with local regulations in their country. TiviMate makes no content available — it only plays streams provided by a subscription service.
How do I update my playlist automatically in TiviMate?
To keep your channel list fresh without manual refreshes, open TiviMate → Settings → Playlist → Update interval and set it to Every 24 hours. TiviMate will automatically re-fetch your M3U or Xtream Codes playlist in the background. This ensures new channels added by IPTVSubscription.me appear automatically without you having to re-enter your credentials.
