TiviMate Setup Guide — Connect IPTVBROS in 3 Minutes

TiviMate is the highest-rated IPTV player for Firestick and Android TV with over 1 million users. This guide connects it to your IPTVBROS subscription using the Xtream Codes API — the fastest and most feature-rich connection method.

Step-by-Step TiviMate Setup

Install TiviMate from the Amazon Appstore

On your Firestick home screen, press the Search icon. Type 'TiviMate'. Select it from results and press Get/Download. TiviMate is free and installs directly — no sideloading required. On Android TV/Google TV, open Google Play Store and search 'TiviMate'.

Open TiviMate and tap 'Add Playlist'

Launch TiviMate. You'll see the welcome screen with 'Add Playlist' as the main option. Tap it. You'll see several playlist types — select 'Xtream Codes API'.

Select 'Xtream Codes API'

This is the best connection method for IPTVBROS. Xtream Codes loads your full channel library, EPG, movies, and series in one login — unlike M3U playlists which only load channels.

Enter your IPTVBROS credentials

Fill in three fields: (1) Name — any label like 'IPTVBROS'. (2) Server URL — from your IPTVBROS welcome email. (3) Username and Password — from the same email. Tap Next.

Wait for channels to load

TiviMate connects to IPTVBROS and downloads your full channel list — 27,000+ channels and 148,000+ movies. First load takes 20-60 seconds. Subsequent launches are instant from cache.

Enable the EPG (program guide)

Go to Settings → EPG. Your 7-day program guide downloads automatically from IPTVBROS's XMLTV data. After 2-3 minutes you'll have a full TV schedule for every channel — just like cable TV's guide.

Best TiviMate Settings for IPTVBROS

Video Decoder: Hardware+ (Settings → Player → Video Decoder)

Uses your device's GPU for 4K decoding instead of CPU — smoother playback, less heat.

Buffer Size: 10MB (Settings → Player → Buffer Size)

Prevents buffering during brief network fluctuations. Default 2MB is too small for 4K streams.

EPG Source: Auto (from playlist) (Settings → EPG → Playlist EPG)

IPTVBROS's Xtream Codes API provides EPG automatically — no manual URL entry needed.

EPG Days: 7 days (Settings → EPG → Days to Keep)

Loads a full week of schedules so you can see what's coming up across all 27,000+ channels.

Auto Update: Every 12 hours (Settings → Playlists → Auto Update)

Keeps your channel list fresh without manual updates.

TiviMate FAQ

Is TiviMate free?

Yes. TiviMate has a free version with all core features: live TV, EPG, VOD, and catch-up TV. TiviMate Premium ($6.99/year) adds recordings, multi-screen view, PIN protection, and advanced sorting — useful features but not required for basic IPTVBROS streaming.

Does TiviMate work on all Firestick models?

Yes. TiviMate works on all Amazon Firestick and Fire TV models: Firestick Lite, Firestick HD, Firestick 4K, Firestick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV Smart TVs. It is available directly from the Amazon Appstore — no sideloading or Developer Mode required.

Does TiviMate work on Android TV and Google TV?

Yes. TiviMate is available on the Google Play Store for all Android TV and Google TV devices including Sony Bravia, Hisense Android TV, TCL Google TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Nvidia Shield TV, and Xiaomi Mi Box. The same Xtream Codes credentials used on Firestick work on Android TV.

What is the difference between TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro?

TiviMate provides a more polished cable-TV-like interface with faster EPG loading, smoother 4K playback, and more advanced features. IPTV Smarters Pro has a Netflix-style grid interface that some users prefer for browsing movies. Both fully support IPTVBROS. TiviMate is recommended for Firestick and Android TV; IPTV Smarters Pro is better for Smart TVs (Samsung, LG) and Apple devices.

How do I fix TiviMate buffering with IPTVBROS?

In TiviMate Settings → Player: set Video Decoder to 'Hardware+' and Buffer Size to 10MB. This uses your device's dedicated video chip for smooth 4K playback. Also ensure you're on 5GHz WiFi or wired Ethernet, and your internet speed exceeds 25 Mbps for 4K streams.

How do I update my channels in TiviMate?

In TiviMate Settings → Playlists → tap your IPTVBROS playlist → Update Now. This refreshes all channels. Enable auto-update in playlist settings for automatic daily updates.

Can I use TiviMate on multiple devices with one IPTVBROS subscription?

Yes. Install TiviMate on as many devices as you want and use the same IPTVBROS credentials on each. Simultaneous streaming is limited by your plan: Solo = 1 screen, Duo = 2 screens, Family = 4 screens. Each device can have TiviMate installed — the limit applies only to concurrent streams.

What is TiviMate Premium and is it worth it?

TiviMate Premium ($6.99/year or $2.99/3 months) adds: (1) Local recordings to device storage, (2) Multi-screen view (watch 4 channels at once), (3) PIN protection for parental control, (4) Advanced channel sorting and favourites. For most IPTVBROS users, the free version is sufficient. Power users or those with families will appreciate Premium's recordings and multi-screen.
