IPTV on Google TV & Android TV: Setup Walkthrough

Google TV (the newer interface layer, found on Chromecast with Google TV and many newer TVs) and Android TV boxes both run full Android underneath, which makes IPTV setup more flexible than on Samsung or LG.

Step 1: Install via Play Store

Search "IPTV Smarters Pro" or "TiviMate" directly in the Play Store from your Google TV or Android TV home screen and install it normally. Neither app needs sideloading.

Step 2: Log in with your credentials

In IPTV Smarters Pro, choose Login with Xtream Codes API. In TiviMate, choose Add Playlist → M3U URL or Xtream Codes. Enter the details from your welcome email.

Step 3: Let the EPG sync

The first sync can take a minute or two, so give it time if the guide looks sparse at first.

If an app isn't in the Play Store

Some IPTV apps aren't Play Store listed. In that case, install the Downloader app from the Play Store, then sideload the APK using the same method as the Firestick APK install process. The steps are nearly identical because both run Android underneath.

Google TV vs Android TV: does it matter?

In practice, no. Both support the same apps and the same setup. Google TV's home screen leans more on recommendations, but IPTV apps behave the same on both.

For remote-optimized EPG configuration once installed, see the TiviMate setup guide. For the full device reference, see the Android installation guide.
