How do you set up the player?
Install the app
Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV or Google TV device, search for it by name and install it. On Fire TV, install it from the Amazon Appstore if listed in your region.
Add a playlist
Launch the app, choose Add playlist, then pick M3U playlist or Xtream Codes and enter the URL or login supplied by your legal provider.
Add an EPG source
If your provider gives a separate XMLTV guide URL, open Settings, Playlists, select your playlist and add the EPG address.
Set channel groups
Hide groups you do not use and set favourites so the guide only shows your channels.
Questions about this player
Does TiviMate include channels?
No. It is a player only. It shows nothing until you add a playlist from a provider you are entitled to use.
