TiviMate (Android TV & Google TV)
The ultimate setup guide for TiviMate Premium on NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast, and Android TV.
Install TiviMate from Google Play
On your Android TV, Google TV, or NVIDIA Shield, open the Google Play Store. Search for 'TiviMate IPTV Player' and install it. If your device doesn't have the Play Store, you can sideload the APK using Downloader.
Add a New Playlist
Open TiviMate. Select 'Add Playlist'. You will be presented with several options: M3U playlist, Xtream Codes, or Stalker Portal. Select 'Xtream Codes'.
Enter Xtream Codes Details
Input the Server Address (URL), Username, and Password exactly as they appear in your Flick IPTV welcome email. Check the box for 'Include VOD' if you want access to our movie and series library, then click Next.
Configure the EPG
TiviMate will automatically process the channels and Electronic Program Guide (EPG). Once finished, select 'Done'. To optimize performance, go to Settings > EPG > Update interval, and set it to update every 24 hours.
Adjust Player Settings
For the best viewing experience to prevent buffering, navigate to Settings > Playback. Change the 'Buffer size' to 'Large' or 'Extra Large', especially if you are streaming 4K sports.
TiviMate (Android TV & Google TV) Troubleshooting
TiviMate Companion Won't Unlock Premium
Premium unlocks are tied to the Google account signed into the Companion app, not the TV device itself.
- Confirm the same Google account is signed into both the Companion app (on your phone) and the Play Store on your Android TV device.
- Restart TiviMate on the TV after purchasing — the unlock doesn't always apply instantly.
Buffering Persists Even After Increasing Buffer Size
On lower-powered Android TV boxes, a large buffer setting can mask network issues without fixing the underlying decode bottleneck.
- Check Settings > Player that Hardware Decoder is enabled for both video and audio, not just a larger buffer.
- Older or budget boxes may struggle with 4K/H.265 regardless of buffer size — try an HD version of the channel to isolate whether it's a decoder or network issue.

My EPG says 'No Information'. How do I fix it?
Go to Settings > EPG and manually click 'Update EPG'. Ensure your server URL was entered correctly without trailing slashes. If the issue persists, clear the app cache.
