❓ Frequently Asked Questions
TiviMate is the most popular — clean interface and great EPG support. IPTV Smarters is also excellent and free. We recommend TiviMate for the best experience.
No. The free version works fine with one playlist. Premium adds multi-playlist support, recording, and more customization — totally optional.
Check your username, password, and server URL for typos including uppercase letters. Also make sure your subscription is active. Contact us if you're still stuck.
Use a wired connection if possible, or move closer to your WiFi router. A VPN can sometimes help if your ISP throttles streaming. Clear app cache and restart.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • 🌐
    Check your internet connection. A stable speed of at least 15–20 Mbps is recommended for smooth HD streaming.
  • ⚠️
    Make sure your Xtream Codes credentials (username, password, server URL) are entered correctly — these are case-sensitive.
  • 🔄
    Update your IPTV player app to the latest version to avoid playback and loading issues.
  • 🔁
    Restart your device and also reboot your router/modem.
  • 🛡️
    If using a VPN, try switching to another server or temporarily disabling it to test if it resolves the issue.
  • 🧹
    Clear the cache of your IPTV player app, then reopen and try again.
  • ℹ️
    Some internet providers restrict IPTV traffic. If you suspect this, using a VPN can often help improve access.
