To set up TiviMate with Xtream Codes, enter your provider’s server address, username, and password. Then let the playlist load and check channels and the guide before kickoff.
You’ll need an active IPTV subscription; TiviMate is the player, not the service. Viking IPTV offers a free 24-hour trial if you want to try a subscription first.
What do you need before you start?
You need a device that supports TiviMate, the app, and an active IPTV subscription. TiviMate is the player; your provider supplies the playlist and channel access.
What to have ready
- A compatible device connected to the internet, preferably on your own Wi-Fi.
- The TiviMate app installed on that device.
- An active subscription with an IPTV provider.
- Your provider’s Xtream Codes server address, username, and password.
Keep your provider’s login message nearby so you can refer to the details when needed. The server address, username, and password are separate pieces of information.
Without provider access, TiviMate alone will not supply channels. Your provider’s playlist determines which channels are available to you.
Quick tip: Keep the server address exactly as your provider supplied it. Don’t substitute an M3U link.
How do you add Xtream Codes to TiviMate?
Adding a playlist is a short form-filling task once you find the right login option. Use the steps below, and follow the labels shown in your version of TiviMate.
Enter your provider details
- Open TiviMate and choose the option to add a playlist.
- Select the Xtream Codes login option, not the playlist URL option. The wording may vary slightly between app versions.
- Enter each provider detail in its matching field: server address, username, and password. Keep the information in the correct fields, even if your screen arranges them differently.
If you copy credentials from an email, check for an accidental space at the start or end of each field. A trailing space can make an otherwise correct entry fail.
Submit and name the playlist
- Enter a recognizable playlist name, such as your provider’s name or “Live TV.” This label helps you identify the playlist later.
- Submit the details using the button shown on your screen. Its label can differ by version, so choose the control that saves or adds the playlist.
- Read TiviMate’s response before taking the next step. A confirmation means the details were accepted; an error means you should review the message and the screen’s field labels before trying again.
Menus and confirmation wording may not match across every release. Use the options visible in your app, and avoid switching to a different login method unless your provider gave you those details for it.
How do you finish loading channels and the guide?
After TiviMate accepts the login, wait for it to finish processing the playlist. Keep the screen open until loading is complete, then check the channels and guide before game day.
Check your channel list
Open the channel list and confirm that categories and channels appear. Select a channel to make sure playback starts before kickoff or fight night. This quick check helps you catch missing playlist content before you settle in to watch.
Channel names and available categories come from your provider’s playlist information. If a name looks unfamiliar, the playlist may use a different label than you expect.
Confirm the program guide
Open TiviMate’s program guide, also called the electronic program guide or EPG. Look for listings beside channels and give the guide time to populate. The listings depend on the information your provider includes in the playlist, so some channels may show limited details.
Set up the playlist before game day so you have time to spot missing guide information. Check the guide again after it has had time to load, then open a channel to confirm it plays.
How can you organize TiviMate for easier viewing?
Use channel categories, favorites, and playlist display options to make browsing easier. A little organization can help you find the game or show you want faster.
Browse the channel groups to spot sports, news, movies, or other categories. Choose a group first, then scan its channels instead of scrolling through the full list.
Make a game-day favorites list
Add only the channels you regularly watch to favorites. A short list is quicker to scan when kickoff is close, and it keeps occasional channels from crowding your go-to picks. You can still browse the full category list whenever you want something different.
Review the playlist settings for options that affect how groups and channels appear. These choices can help keep the list tidy and easier to read. If you are watching a channel and want to browse again, press your remote’s Back button to return to the channel list.
What should you check if TiviMate will not load?
Start with the error message: login, connection, and playlist problems need different fixes. Note the exact wording before asking your provider for help.
Fix incorrect login details
For a login error, compare the server address, username, and password with your provider’s original message. Correct any mismatch, then try again. Change one item at a time so you can identify what fixed the error.
If TiviMate reports a connection error, confirm your device is online. Retry once the connection is working.
Handle an empty or incomplete playlist
If login succeeds but channels are missing, refresh or reload the playlist in TiviMate. Give it time to update, then check whether the missing content appears. If channels remain absent, contact your provider and share the exact error message, if one appeared.
Keep your description specific: say whether login failed, the app could not connect, or the playlist loaded without all its channels. That helps your provider narrow down the issue.
Is TiviMate ready for your next game?
TiviMate is ready for game day when your login is accepted, channels appear, and the guide has loaded. Give the guide time to fill in before relying on it for kickoff.
- Your login was accepted.
- Your channel list is visible.
- Your program guide has had time to populate.
Do your final channel check before kickoff, not during the opening minutes. Open the exact channel you plan to watch ahead of time, so you can catch any issue before the game begins. If the guide is still loading, wait a little longer and check again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find my Xtream Codes username and password?
Your IPTV provider gives you the Xtream Codes username, password, and server address. Look in the welcome email or account message sent after signup. If the details are missing or unclear, contact your provider and ask specifically for Xtream Codes login details. A playlist link uses a different login format.
Can I add more than one Xtream Codes playlist in TiviMate?
Yes. You can add another playlist through TiviMate’s add-playlist option and enter that provider’s server address, username, and password. Keep each set of details together so you can select the right playlist later. Menu wording can vary by app version, so follow the labels shown on your screen.
Why does TiviMate say the server address is invalid?
The address may have a typo, missing characters, or extra spaces. Compare it with the server address your provider sent, and copy it exactly into the server field. Make sure you haven’t entered a playlist link there instead. If the address still fails, ask your provider to confirm the correct Xtream Codes server address.
Can I use Xtream Codes details in another IPTV player?
Yes, you can use the same details in another player that supports Xtream Codes login. Enter the server address, username, and password in that player’s matching fields. Each app has its own menus, so look for an option labeled Xtream Codes, API login, or similar. Your provider still controls the subscription access.
Does the program guide load automatically after adding a playlist?
The guide may begin loading after TiviMate accepts the playlist, but it can take time to populate. Keep the app open, then check that channel names and program listings appear. If channels load but the guide stays empty, ask your provider whether guide data is available for your playlist before relying on it for kickoff.
Is Your TiviMate Ready for Kickoff?
Enter the Xtream Codes details exactly as your provider sent them. Wait for the channels and guide to load, then check the lineup before game day.
