Setup guide

TiviMate is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. The NVIDIA Shield TV decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. There's no contract and no card on file waiting to be charged again: plans are prepaid, with a 7-day refund window.

Prep, in four lines: TiviMate on NVIDIA Shield TV

TiviMate on NVIDIA Shield TV: Prep, in four lines

  • Your login from WhatsApp: server URL (with port), username and password
  • Shield software updated, which keeps Google Play listings current
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream
  • A faster way to type: a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, or the remote app on your phone

Installing TiviMate

TiviMate on NVIDIA Shield TV: Installing TiviMate

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Search Google Play for TiviMate with the remote or the voice button and install it. Where Play doesn't carry it, Downloader can fetch it from the developer's site once unknown apps are allowed.
  • In TiviMate, pick the Xtream Codes or XC API option, then type the server URL, username and password from your WhatsApp message. All three are case-sensitive.
  • Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.

Tune it for the NVIDIA Shield TV

  • Leave the box on standby rather than unplugging it, so the guide stays fresh.
  • Set the output resolution to match the TV; a 4K signal on a 1080p TV just adds work.
  • Use the Ethernet port if your box has one.
  • Hide groups: remove countries and categories you never watch to speed up scrolling.

What you'll see on first launch

TiviMate shows a loading bar while it pulls the channel list, then opens on its home screen. Live TV, movies and series appear as separate sections, and the guide fills in over the next minute or two. On the NVIDIA Shield TV, the first load is the slowest.

If TiviMate won't cooperate

  • "Invalid credentials": retype the server URL with http:// and the port, and check capital letters; the username and password are case-sensitive.
  • TiviMate closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the NVIDIA Shield TV, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the NVIDIA Shield TV. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • Picture but no sound: set the NVIDIA Shield TV's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
