Common TiviMate Setup Problems
If TiviMate installs but your playlist does not work correctly, check these common issues first.
TiviMate does not appear on my device
Check whether your device is compatible with Android TV and whether the app is available through the relevant app store or installation method for your device.
The playlist is empty
Check the playlist URL or login information supplied by your IPTV service. A player cannot load channels if the playlist information is incorrect, expired, or unavailable.
EPG information is missing
EPG availability depends on the playlist and EPG information provided by your IPTV service. Check that the service actually provides EPG data and that it is configured correctly.
Channels buffer or stop playing
Check your internet connection first. If other apps work normally, the problem may also be related to the particular stream or playlist rather than the TiviMate application itself.
Xtream Codes login fails
Verify the server address, username, and password exactly as provided by your IPTV service. Avoid adding spaces before or after the credentials.
Firestick installation fails
Make sure the APK is compatible with your Fire TV device and that your chosen sideloading method is supported by your Fire OS version. Do not install APK files from unknown or suspicious sources.
