What Is TiviMate?
TiviMate is a premium Android IPTV player available on the Google Play Store and the Amazon App Store. It supports M3U playlists and Xtream Codes API, which is what KoalaIPTV.com uses. Key features:
- Full EPG (Electronic Program Guide) with a TV-style grid layout
- Catch-up / replay (watch content that aired in the last 3–7 days)
- Multi-screen viewing on Android TV devices
- Favorite channels list and channel groups
- Multiple playlist support (manage multiple IPTV subscriptions in one app)
- Advanced codec and buffer settings
Compatible Devices for TiviMate
TiviMate is Android-only. It works on:
- Amazon Firestick and Fire TV Cube — the most popular combination in Canada
- Android TV Boxes — BuzzTV, Formuler, MAG with Android
- Android TV Smart TVs — Sony, Philips, Sharp with Android TV
- Google TV devices — Chromecast with Google TV
TiviMate is NOT available on iPhone, iPad, or Samsung/LG Smart TVs (those use different operating systems). For iOS or Samsung/LG, use IBO Player or Hot Player instead.
Step-by-Step: Installing TiviMate on Firestick
- On your Firestick, go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options
- Enable Install Unknown Apps and set it to allow for the Downloader app
- Install the Downloader app from the Amazon App Store if you don't have it
- Open Downloader and enter the APK URL provided by KoalaIPTV support — or search for TiviMate on the Amazon App Store directly (available there as well)
- Install TiviMate and open it
Step-by-Step: Adding KoalaIPTV.com to TiviMate
- Open TiviMate and tap Add Playlist
- Select Xtream Codes API (recommended) or M3U URL
- If using Xtream Codes: enter your server URL, username, and password from your KoalaIPTV welcome email
- If using M3U: paste the M3U link from your welcome email
- Wait for the channel list to load — this may take 1–3 minutes on the first load
- Once loaded, your channels will be organized in groups (Sports, News, Entertainment, etc.)
Recommended TiviMate Settings for Canada
- Buffer size: set to 10–15 seconds to reduce buffering on busy channels
- Video decoder: use hardware decoder for 4K; software decoder if you see green screen glitches
- EPG source: TiviMate can load the EPG automatically from your Xtream Codes server
- Auto start on boot: enable if you want TiviMate to launch when your Firestick powers on
TiviMate Premium vs Free
TiviMate has a free version and a premium version (~$5.99/year or a one-time purchase). The free version supports one playlist and basic playback. Premium unlocks:
- Multiple playlist support
- Catch-up / replay
- Multi-screen picture-in-picture
- Recorded shows
For most Canadian users, the free version is fine to get started. Upgrade to premium if you want catch-up or recording.
