Tivimate offers a powerful and customizable platform for enjoying your IPTV content. To unlock its full potential, you'll need to properly integrate your IPTV service with the player. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, whether you're using an M3U URL or Xtream Codes API. By following these instructions, you can quickly set up your channels and Electronic Program Guide (EPG), ensuring a smooth and enhanced viewing experience on your preferred device.

Prerequisites Before You Start

Before you begin the integration process, ensure you have a few things ready. First, you need Tivimate installed on your streaming device (e.g., Android TV box, Firestick). Second, you must have an active IPTV subscription. Your provider should have given you either an M3U URL or Xtream Codes API credentials (server URL, username, and password). Keep these details handy, as you'll need to input them accurately into Tivimate.

Step-by-Step Integration Using M3U URL

  1. Open Tivimate on your device.
  2. Click on 'Add Playlist' or the '+' icon.
  3. Select 'M3U playlist'.
  4. Enter the M3U URL provided by your IPTV service. Ensure there are no typos.
  5. Give your playlist a name (e.g., 'My IPTV').
  6. Tivimate will then process the playlist and download the EPG. This may take a few moments.

Alternative: Xtream Codes API Integration

  1. Open Tivimate and select 'Add Playlist'.
  2. Choose 'Xtream Codes'.
  3. Enter the Server URL, Username, and Password provided by your IPTV service.
  4. Name your playlist.
  5. Tivimate will connect and load your channels and EPG.
Once integrated, you can explore Tivimate's features, including channel groups, favorites, and catch-up TV.
