TiviMate: Setup and Configuration for Xtream Codes
A step-by-step TiviMate guide: install, add your Xtream Codes portal, tune the guide, and configure playback on Android TV and Fire TV.
TiviMate is one of the most popular players for Xtream Codes on Android TV and Fire TV. It is remote-friendly, guide-first, and supports the portal login natively.
Install
- Android TV: search the Play Store for TiviMate and install.
- Fire TV: TiviMate is not in the Amazon store, so sideload it — see the Firestick setup guide.
- Only download the APK from the official site.
Add your portal
- Open TiviMate and choose Add playlist → Xtream Codes.
- Enter the portal URL (host and port), username, and password.
- TiviMate fetches channels, categories, movies, and series.
If login fails, work through login troubleshooting.
Set up the guide
- TiviMate usually attaches the EPG automatically with an Xtream Codes login.
- If channels show “No information”, open the playlist’s EPG settings, refresh, or assign missing channel IDs manually. See Xtream Codes EPG.
Playback settings worth changing
- Buffer size: increase it if streams stutter on your connection.
- Hardware decoding: enable for smoother playback on lower-end boxes.
- Frame-rate matching: enable if you see judder on 50/60 Hz content.
Keep it safe
- Use your own authorized account only.
- Sideload from the official site, never “preloaded” mirrors.
- See Xtream Codes security for credential hygiene.
