Tivimate Pro Google TV setup guide with installation steps

Setting up Tivimate Pro on Google TV is simple using the Google Play Store. This guide walks you through installation, adding your IPTV subscription, and optimizing settings for stable streaming.

If you don't have an IPTV subscription yet, you can start a free trial or choose a plan.

What You Need Before Starting

  • Google TV (any recent model with Android TV)
  • Stable internet connection (Wi‑Fi or Ethernet)
  • Google account for Play Store
  • Active IPTV subscription with M3U or Xtream Codes
  • Optional: VPN for privacy/buffering issues

Install from Google Play Store

The easiest way to get Tivimate Pro on Google TV is from the Play Store.

  1. Open Google Play Store.
  2. Search for “Tivimate.”
  3. Select the app by Tivimate Inc.
  4. Install.
  5. Open Tivimate Pro.

Alternative: Sideload APK

If Play Store isn’t available or you prefer the latest APK, you can sideload using our download page instructions and the same APK used for Firestick.

Add Your IPTV Credentials

With Tivimate installed, you can now add your IPTV subscription details.

  1. Open Tivimate Pro.
  2. Go to Add Playlist.
  3. Choose your format: M3U URL or Xtream Codes.
  4. Enter your credentials: the M3U/EPG URL or server/username/password from your subscription.
  5. Save and load channels.

If you don't have a subscription yet, choose a plan or start a free trial.

Optimize Settings for Stable Streaming

  • Set player decoder to Hardware if available.
  • Enable Preferred audio language and Subtitle settings.
  • Adjust Buffer size if you experience stuttering.
  • Use EPG URL if your provider supplies one for a TV guide.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

App won't install

Ensure your Google TV is updated and has storage available. Try clearing cache or restarting the device.

No channels after adding playlist

Double‑check your M3U/Xtream details. Ensure your subscription is active and the URL is correct.

Buffering/freezing

Try Ethernet, reduce video quality, or test another VPN server. Contact your provider if the issue persists.

Best Practices for Google TV Streaming

  • Keep your Google TV storage at least 500 MB free.
  • Restart the device weekly to clear cache.
  • Use a 5 GHz Wi‑Fi network when possible.
  • Don't exceed your plan’s simultaneous streams.
  • Keep Tivimate updated from Play Store or our download page.
