- 6 min
- Easy
- TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro
- Xtream Codes
Before you start
- Your IPTV Trends login from the activation email (free trial or paid plan)
- Your Android TV / Google TV connected to the internet
- At least 10 Mbps for HD streams, 25 Mbps for 4K
Step-by-step setup
Step 1: Install TiviMate
Open Google Play on the TV or box and install 'TiviMate IPTV Player'.
Step 2: Add a playlist
Open TiviMate → Add playlist → Xtream Codes.
Step 3: Enter your login
Type the Server URL, Username and Password from your activation email, then press Next.
- Name: anything you like, e.g. IPTV Trends
- Username and Password: exactly as written in your email (they're case-sensitive)
- Server URL: the full address including http:// and the port number
Your login arrives by email the moment you subscribe or start your free trial: Server URL, Username, Password and your M3U playlist link. Can't find it? Check spam, or open a support ticket and we'll resend it.
Step 4: Name the playlist and finish
TiviMate counts your channels and movies. Name the playlist IPTV Trends and press Done. The TV guide loads by itself.
Troubleshooting
In TiviMate open Settings → EPG and choose Update EPG. The first update can take a minute or two.
Restart the device and your router, then test your speed: you need about 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Use a wired (Ethernet) connection where you can, and switch the player's decoder to hardware if the app offers it.
Copy the Username, Password and Server URL again from your activation email. Most errors come from a missing http://, a missing port number, or a capital letter typed as lowercase. If your trial or plan has expired, choose a plan on our pricing page.
