Learn how to install and configure TiviMate, choose between Xtream-style login and M3U playlists, enter your Strong8K IPTV details correctly, set up the TV guide, and troubleshoot common playlist, playback and buffering problems.
To set up IPTV on TiviMate, install the player on a compatible device, open the application, select the playlist or account method matching your provider's details, enter the information exactly as supplied, allow the playlist to load, and test playback, categories and available EPG data.
What Is TiviMate IPTV Player?
TiviMate is an IPTV player designed primarily for compatible TV-based devices. It provides an interface for organizing and playing IPTV content from a compatible service.
TiviMate and your IPTV subscription are separate. Installing the player alone does not provide access to a Strong8K subscription.
TiviMate
Provides the application interface used to add, organize and access compatible IPTV playlists and account information.
Strong8K IPTV

You need compatible service information before configuring the player. Explore our Strong8K IPTV Subscription Guide for more information.
What You Need for TiviMate IPTV Setup
Prepare your device, internet connection and service details before starting.
Application availability and installation methods depend on the device. Review the Strong8K Apps & Devices Guide if you are unsure whether TiviMate is suitable for your hardware.
TiviMate Login Methods: Xtream Codes vs M3U
The correct method depends on the information supplied by your IPTV provider. Compare what you received with the fields requested by TiviMate.
Xtream-Style Account Login
Use the compatible account-login method when you receive a server or portal URL, username and password as separate details.
View Login Instructions →M3U Playlist URL
Use the playlist method when your provider supplies a complete M3U playlist URL.
View M3U Instructions →| Setup Type | Information Received | What to Enter |
|---|---|---|
| Xtream-style login | Server or portal URL, username and password | Enter each detail into its matching account field. |
| M3U playlist | Complete playlist URL | Paste the full URL into the playlist configuration field. |
A missing character, incorrect password, incomplete URL or wrong setup option can prevent your playlist from loading. Use the original information exactly as supplied.
How to Set Up IPTV on TiviMate Step by Step

Use an appropriate trusted source and confirm that the player opens normally on your device.

Continue and Load the Playlist
Submit your information and allow TiviMate to process the playlist or account configuration.
Review Categories
Check that the expected content sections and navigation menus are available.
Check Available EPG Information
Review the TV guide where available. Missing guide information does not always indicate a failed playlist.
Test Playback and Stability
Open multiple items, test navigation and confirm that playback works before making further adjustments.

Use this method when your provider supplies a server or portal URL with separate username and password details.

How to Add an M3U Playlist to TiviMate
Use this method when your IPTV provider supplies a complete M3U playlist link.

Enter the Complete M3U URL
Paste or type the full playlist address exactly as supplied.
Continue and Load the Playlist
Allow TiviMate to process the URL and populate available sections.
Test the Playlist
Open multiple items and verify that the playlist has loaded and playback works.
M3U URLs may contain account information. Do not publish the complete link or screenshots that reveal it.
Protect Your TiviMate Login Information
IPTV credentials and playlist URLs should be treated as private account information.
TiviMate EPG: Fix Missing TV Guide Information
Electronic Program Guide (EPG) information can display program schedules in compatible IPTV setups. If playback works but the guide is empty, the playlist may still be configured correctly.
Verify the Playlist
Confirm that the main account or playlist loads successfully.
Refresh Guide Data
Use the available playlist or EPG refresh option in TiviMate.
Restart the Application
Close and reopen TiviMate, then check the TV guide again.
Check Configuration
Verify that the account or playlist details were entered correctly.
Check Data Availability
Confirm whether EPG information is available for the content you are viewing.
Contact Support
If playback works but expected guide information remains missing, ask your provider for assistance.
A playlist may load and play normally while guide information is unavailable or needs refreshing. Diagnose these issues separately.
