How To Setup IPTV on IPTV Smarters Pro

I’ll be candid and admit that I hadn’t previously heard of the IPTV Smarters Pro Player until I stumbled upon it recently, so I decided to give it a shot and see what it’s all about.

I must admit I am pretty impressed. IPTV Smarters Pro takes a somewhat different approach to most other IPTV players in its layout and user interface. It also includes a nifty little feature that I found pretty refreshing.

tivimate apk

I suggest that our readers delete the APK file on the FireStick because it no longer serves a purpose—we’ve already used it to install TiviMate. In general, I advise you to keep your FireStick free from unnecessary files and media. Being low on storage will result in sluggish performance throughout the device.

That’s it, you’ve successfully installed the TiviMate APK on your FireStick. Now you are all set to enjoy hundreds of live channels, movies, and TV series on the FireStick. Before we discuss the app, let’s make a quick adjustment for our convenience.

Your FireStick / Fire TV is now all ready to stream your favorite content. However, before you start, I would like to warn you that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming free movies, TV shows, Sports might get you into legal trouble

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN will mask your original IP which is 196.117.147.156 and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and is very easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.

We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on your Fire Stick / Fire TV, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.

TiviMate IPTV Player Overview

TiviMate offers both free and premium services. You can try the free version and then upgrade to the premium version for more features. The question is, is it worth upgrading? Before we answer that, let’s take a look at all the features you can get with TiviMate Premium.

  • Support for multiple playlists
  • Favorites management
  • Catch-up option
  • Customizable EPG update intervals
  • Customizable panel transparency and timeout
  • Manual channel sorting
  • Turning on the most recently viewed channel on app launch
  • Auto frame rate (AFR)
  • Scheduled recording
  • Reminder to automatically play channels
  • Parental control function
  • Advanced remote control option
  • Ability to change the appearance
  • Ability to change fonts, background color, and selection color
  • Data backup
  • Data restoration
  • Much more!

As you can see from the list above, the TiviMate app is worth upgrading to the premium version. The free version is handicapped by its bare features. It doesn’t make much sense to use TiviMate without paying for a premium subscription.

You have already installed the free version using the steps above. First, we will integrate an IPTV service with the TiviMate app. Then I’ll show you how to purchase the premium version and unlock all the advanced functions.

Get Started with TiviMate IPTV Player

TiviMate is now ready to use on your FireStick. As I mentioned above, you need to have an active subscription to an IPTV service to get started. TiviMate on its own doesn’t offer any content to users.

Note: During my somewhat limited testing, I found that setting up an IPTV service in TiviMate won’t work when connected to a VPN. If you use a VPN on FireStick, you’ll need to disconnect from it and then proceed. After successfully adding the IPTV service to the TiviMate Player, you can reenable the VPN on your FireStick.

If you have an IPTV subscription, follow the steps below to integrate your IPTV service with the TiviMate Player app. If you don’t have a service yet, here’s the list of popular IPTV providers.

1. Press and hold the home button on your FireStick remote.

2. Select Apps on the following screen.

apps menu

3. Open the TiviMate app.

open tivimate iptv player on amazon firestick

4. Select Add playlist.

add m3u playlist to tivimate iptv player

5. TiviMate will ask you to add a playlist using an M3U link, Xtream code, or Stalker Portal. Select the M3U playlist.

m3u playlist for tivimate

In this article, we will use an M3U link to play an IPTV service in the TiviMate app. When you subscribe to an IPTV service, you will receive an email with relevant login information and an M3U link. If you don’t get an M3U link, try contacting customer support and requesting an M3U link.

Most M3U links contain a username and password. They look something like this:
http://013tv.com:8080/get.php?username=test-65927c&password=e657&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

Now that you have identified your M3U link, let’s proceed with integration.

6. TiviMate will ask for your M3U link. Enter your M3U link and press Next.

Note: For your convenience, you may wish to connect your FireStick to the Fire TV app on your iPhone or Android smartphone (here’s how to do it). With the app, you can quickly type long URLs using your phone’s default keyboard. Alternatively, you can shorten an M3U link using a service like bitly. Simply copy the M3U link, paste it into bit.ly, and get a shortened link. You can then type the short bit.ly link instead of the long original link.

type m3u playlist url

7. TiviMate will load the IPTV service and offer a peek at the number of channels and movies available in the IPTV package.

8. Add a Playlist name.

9. If the playlist is finished processing, select Done.

A minute or two later, you will see the IPTV service’s content appearing in the TiviMate app.

Most IPTV services come with a dedicated EPG (electronic program guide), as shown below.

If you don’t see an EPG enabled in the TiviMate app, consider enabling it in the app’s Settings.

how to use tivimate iptv player on firestick

As I mentioned above, the major features of TiviMate are behind a paywall. You need to pay for the premium version to enjoy TiviMate at its greatest potential.

When you try to access any premium feature without a premium account, TiviMate will ask you to upgrade to premium. For example, when you try to add a channel to your list of favorites, TiviMate will prompt you to upgrade the app. If you wish to continue with the free version, you can hit Cancel and keep using the free TiviMate app on FireStick.

To purchase the premium version, you need to use the TiviMate Companion app from the Google Play Store. Here’s how to do it.

Install TiviMate Companion App From Google Play Store

TiviMate offers a 5-day trial of the premium version. Premium costs $4.99 per year for up to 5 devices. You can also opt for the lifetime version at $19.99. I advise you to start with the one-year purchase, and then if you’re satisfied with the features, you can consider purchasing a lifetime TiviMate Premium.

The thing is, you can’t purchase TiviMate Premium using the installed app on FireStick. You will have to use the TiviMate Companion app from the Google Play Store. Since the app is available on Android devices, the easiest way to get TiviMate Premium is by using an Android phone or tablet to get TiviMate Companion. If you don’t have an Android device lying around, you’ll need a helping hand from BlueStacks on PC.

Note: An Android TV Box comes with a dedicated Google Play Store to download and install apps. If you have an Android TV box at home, you can use it to install the TiviMate Companion app and purchase the premium version.

Follow the steps below to purchase a TiviMate Premium subscription using the TiviMate Companion app.

1. Open the Play Store on your Android device.

2. Tap on the search bar at the top and search for TiviMate Companion.

TiviMate Details and Features

The TiviMate app is an IPTV player. As expected, one of the prime selling points of the app is the built-in video player. The video player is feature-rich and perfectly complements the rest of the app. If you have subscribed to multiple IPTV services, you can add them in the TiviMate app as well.

You can also favorite multiple channels from IPTV services and view them from the Favorites menu. I recommend that you utilize the Groups and Favorites functions so you don’t have to search through thousands of TV channels to find the content you want.

Record Content

TiviMate IPTV Player allows you to record content to view it later. If you don’t have time and want to watch something later, you can hit the Record button in the video player and view it later from the Recordings tab on the home screen of the TiviMate app.

Enable Subtitles

This one is quite useful when you’re watching content that’s not in your native language. From the player menu, simply hit the CC (closed captions) button and enable subtitles from the sliding menu.

Add to Favorites

There are multiple ways to add a channel to your favorites in the TiviMate Player app. Our go-to method is using the Add to Favorites button within the video player.

Multi-view Mode

If you want to view multiple channels at once, TiviMate has an option for that as well. From the player menu, you can select Multi-view and select another channel to view two channels at the same time.

Sleep Timer

This is a must-have for any IPTV app. A sleep timer turns off the app after a set amount of time. I’m glad to see the sleep timer built right into the player menu. Simply press the stopwatch icon on the video player screen and select the time from the right side menu.

Users can automatically put the TiviMate app to sleep in anywhere from 15 minutes to 240 minutes. This feature is useful, for example, when children are watching TV before bed. You can put a half-hour timer and shut down the app.
