TiviMate is a popular all-inclusive IPTV Player that works with IPTV Services that provide an M3U URL.
GET YOUR LIST 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, We suggests purchasing a premium account for a much more enjoyable experience.
The premium option includes the following features not available with the free version:
- Scheduled recordings
- Support for multiple playlists
- Favorites management
- Catch-up
- Customizable TV Guide update intervals
- Customizable Panels transparency and timeout
- Customize groups and channels
- Manual Channels sorting
- Turning on the last channel on app start
- Auto frame rate (AFR)
- Reminder to automatically play channel
- 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 the instructions below. If you like the app, you can register for the premium version and we cover that below as well.

How To Setup IPTV within TiviMate
After the app installation is complete, we can open the app and authorize an IPTV Service for use.
NOTE: Initializing an IPTV Service within TiviMate requires an M3U URL.
After setup is complete, Follow the steps below to integrate IPTV Service in TiviMate:
1. Open TiviMate App and click Add Playlist
2. Click Enter URL
3. Enter the 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.
IPTV Service M3U LINKS
NOTE: The top link is your login and the bottom link is for the EPG.
Replace the xxxs with your service username and password.
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.
4. 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.
8. Type the EPG M3U URL or shortened bit.ly URL for your TV Guide.
9. 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:
For those who wish to use the free version, simply click Cancel and continue with the TiviMate App.

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.
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.

Another feature to note is the auto-update option for the TV guide. This will ensure your guide is always up to date:
For those who wish to use Parental Controls these can also be established within the Parental controls Category.
