Add Nartiel8k to TiviMate on Android TV or a Fire OS stick

Eight moves from the home screen to the first feature

1. Decide whether TiviMate suits this screen

   TiviMate is a live-TV player first. If this screen is mostly for sport, news and flicking between channels, it is the strongest choice on Android. If it is mostly for movie night, plan on pairing it with a player that has full Movies and Series sections, or use that player alone. There is no TiviMate for Apple devices or for Samsung and LG televisions, so those rooms need another app whatever you decide.

   Choose a plan before you start

2. Install it on the Android device

   On Android TV and Google TV, install TiviMate IPTV Player from Google Play. On a Fire OS stick it goes on through Downloader, as the Firestick guide shows screen by screen. One exception: the 4K Select model of the Fire TV Stick is built on Vega OS, which allows no sideloading, so TiviMate is off the table there.

3. Add the account as an Xtream playlist

   On its first screen TiviMate offers Add playlist; pick it, and from the playlist types pick Xtream Codes login. Fill in the server URL (http:// at the start, the port at the end), the username and the password from the chat, then press Next. Leave the M3U link out of it: the Xtream route already carries the guide and, in recent versions, the on-demand titles.

4. Name it and let the first load run

   Give the playlist a short name; it starts to matter if you ever add a second one, which needs Premium. TiviMate then pulls in the channel list and the program guide. The guide address travels inside the Xtream login, so there is nothing extra to paste. Rows can look empty for the first minute; let the download finish instead of restarting.

5. Keep the guide current

   Under Settings, then TV guide, set how often the listings refresh. Twice a day is plenty for most homes. If one row stays blank after a refresh while the rows around it fill, that channel simply sends no listings and still plays normally.

6. Look for the movies, if your version shows them

   Recent versions of TiviMate list movies and series from an Xtream login in a menu area of their own; older builds show live TV only. If yours lists them, open a category and try a title. If browsing the library here feels plain, that reflects the app’s priorities rather than a fault: install IPTV Smarters Pro on the same device for the movie shelf and keep TiviMate for live channels. Both sign in with the same details.

7. Decide on Premium

   You buy Premium on a phone, inside the TiviMate Companion app, never on the television itself; afterward the TV app is signed into the same Companion account. What it unlocks: recording, multi-view and multiple playlists, and in TiviMate favorites and hiding channel groups are Premium features as well. Expect about $9.99 for a year, or a lifetime option in the mid-thirties that varies region by region, with 7 days to try it first; Companion shows the live price. The payment goes to the TiviMate developer, not toward your subscription.

8. Tune a channel, then check the grid

   Tune a sports channel and a news channel from the grid and check that the guide line matches what is on screen. Press back to see the grid with the picture still playing in its window. If your version lists movies, start one and skip ahead to confirm it seeks. When the channels, the guide and a title all behave, the setup is done. TiviMate keeps its playback history on this device only.

TiviMate troubleshooting, symptom by symptom

Multi-view leaves one tile black

Each tile in multi-view is a separate stream, and the plan counts streams playing at the same moment. On a one-connection plan the second tile has no connection left to use. Multi-view with two or four tiles needs a plan with that many connections, and a box with the power to decode them all.

Premium is paid for, but the features stay locked

The purchase lives in the Companion account on the phone. Open Companion and check the purchase shows there, then sign in to that same account from TiviMate’s settings on the television. Until the TV app is signed in, it behaves as the free version.

A scheduled recording never starts

Recording needs Premium and somewhere to write the file. Point the recording folder in the settings at internal storage with free space, or a USB drive the device can write to, then schedule it again. For a channel that carries catch-up, you can often replay the program from the archive without recording at all.

The grid runs an hour out

Listings sit off by an hour or more when the device time zone is wrong. Correct the time zone in the Android or Fire OS settings, then update the guide in TiviMate. If your version has a guide time offset in its settings, touch it only after the device clock is right.

There is no on-demand menu at all

Either the TiviMate build is an older one or the account was added as an M3U playlist. Update TiviMate from the store, remove the playlist and add it again through Xtream Codes login. If the menu still does not appear, use Smarters for the library on that device.
