How to install IPTV
on Google TV

The IPTV app we recommend on Google TV is TiviMate. Install it from the Google TV app store, add the EyePTV playlist we send you, and your channels load straight into the player. Eight steps, about five minutes.

About 5 minutes 8 steps TiviMate

Full Google TV mode

Your TV or streamer has to be set up as Google TV, not Basic TV mode. Basic mode cannot install apps at all.

Google account and internet

Sign in to your Google account on the device before you try to install anything.

Your EyePTV details

Either the M3U link we sent you, or a server URL with a username and password.

Check this before anything else. If your device was set up in Basic TV mode, Google blocks app installation entirely — no app store, no TiviMate, nothing. Go to Settings → System → About and complete the full Google TV setup first. This is by far the most common reason a Google TV install fails.

TiviMate is the player; EyePTV is the service that supplies your channels. The app has none of its own. TiviMate Premium unlocks features inside the app — it is not a subscription to any channels and it is not part of your EyePTV plan.

Select TiviMate IPTV Player and install it

Search TiviMate IPTV Player, open the result and select Install.

Check the developer reads Armobsoft FZE. Several lookalike apps use nearly the same name and icon.

Choose M3U playlist

Pick M3U playlist if we sent you one long link starting with http:// or https://.

Got three separate values instead — a server URL, a username and a password? Skip to the Xtream Codes option below.

Enter your EyePTV playlist URL

Type the full M3U / M3U8 URL we sent you on WhatsApp, then select Next.

Don't type it on the remote if you can avoid it. Install the Google TV app on your phone and use its keyboard — you can paste the link straight across, which removes the most common cause of setup failures.

Wait for Playlist is processed

TiviMate connects and reads your playlist. When it confirms Playlist is processed, name it EyePTV if asked, then select Next or Done.

If we sent you a username and password instead

Some EyePTV setups come as three separate values rather than one long link: a server URL, a username and a password. Use TiviMate's Xtream Codes option instead of M3U — everything else on this page is the same.

Xtream Codes usually pulls the TV guide in on its own, so it is the easier route if you have the choice.

Add playlist → Xtream Codes → enter the server URL, username and password → Next → name it EyePTV → Done

If something doesn't work

The four things that go wrong most often on Google TV, and how to fix them.

I can't install any apps at all

Your device is almost certainly in Basic TV mode. Google disables app installation completely in that mode — it isn't a fault with TiviMate or with us. Run through the full Google TV setup with your Google account, then try again.

TiviMate doesn't appear in search

Search the exact name TiviMate IPTV Player. Availability varies by device and country. Don't install a lookalike with a similar icon — check the developer is Armobsoft FZE before you tap Install.

The playlist URL gives an error

Paste the whole link again and check for a stray space at either end. Confirm your subscription is active. And if we gave you a server URL with a username and password, use Xtream Codes rather than M3U.

Channels play but the guide is empty

If we sent you a separate EPG / XMLTV link, add it under TiviMate's EPG settings. On Xtream Codes the guide usually arrives by itself — give it a few minutes on the first load.

Stuck on a step?

Send us a photo of your TV screen on WhatsApp. Tell us whether you're using M3U or Xtream Codes and we'll take it from there.
