How to Install IPTV on Android TV: Complete Setup Guide (2025)
Android TV is one of the best platforms for IPTV because it runs standard Android apps, making installation straightforward. Whether you have an Android TV box, a Chromecast with Google TV, a Sony TV, a Philips TV, or a Nvidia Shield, this guide covers everything you need to set up your InfinitView IPTV service in minutes.
What You Need Before You Start
- An Android TV device (TV box, Sony TV, Philips TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, etc.)
- Internet connection — minimum 10 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K
- Your InfinitView credentials (username, password, server URL) — sent by email after subscribing or starting a free trial
- Google account (to access the Play Store)
Method 1: IPTV Smarters Pro via Google Play Store (Recommended)
Step 1 — Open Google Play Store
From your Android TV home screen, open the Google Play Store. If you do not see it, search for it using the built-in search bar.
Step 2 — Search for “IPTV Smarters Pro”
Use the on-screen keyboard or your voice remote to search for IPTV Smarters Pro. Select the app from results (developer: IPTV Smarters) and click Install.
Step 3 — Open IPTV Smarters Pro
Open the installed app. On the welcome screen, select Login with Xtream Codes API.
Step 4 — Enter your InfinitView credentials
- Any Name: InfinitView (or any label you prefer)
- Username: your username from your subscription email
- Password: your password from your subscription email
- URL: the server URL including the port number (e.g., http://server.infinitview.com:8080)
Tap Add User. The app will load your full channel list within 30 seconds.
Step 5 — Start watching
Browse Live TV, VOD Movies, TV Series, or search for a specific title. Use your remote to navigate. Long-press any channel to add it to favourites.
Method 2: TiviMate (Premium Android TV Experience)
TiviMate is widely considered the best IPTV app for Android TV with a sleek, TV-optimised interface. The free version is functional; TiviMate Premium adds recordings, multiple playlists, and advanced EPG features.
Step 1 — Install TiviMate from the Play Store
Search for “TiviMate IPTV Player” in the Google Play Store and install it.
Step 2 — Open TiviMate and tap “Add Playlist”
Step 3 — Select “Xtream Codes”
Choose the Xtream Codes option (not M3U URL).
Step 4 — Enter your InfinitView credentials
Enter the server URL, username and password exactly as shown in your subscription email. Tap Next and wait for the channel list to load.
Step 5 — Explore the channel guide
TiviMate shows a beautiful on-screen EPG. Use the guide to see what is on now and schedule viewing reminders.
Method 3: Install via APK (if Play Store is unavailable)
Some Android TV boxes ship without the Google Play Store. In that case, you can sideload IPTV Smarters Pro via APK:
- Enable Unknown Sources in Settings → Security → Unknown Sources
- Install a file manager app or browser on your Android TV box
- Download the IPTV Smarters Pro APK from the official IPTV Smarters website
- Open the APK file and install it
- Follow steps 3-5 from Method 1 above
Troubleshooting
Buffering or freezing
Switch from WiFi to a wired Ethernet connection if possible. Android TV boxes often have an Ethernet port — use it for stable 4K streams. Also clear the app cache: Settings → Apps → IPTV Smarters Pro → Clear Cache.
App not available in my country
If IPTV Smarters Pro is not available in your region on the Play Store, download it via APK (see Method 3 above) or use TiviMate instead.
Credentials not working
Ensure your subscription or trial is still active. Check that you are using the correct server URL — it must include the protocol (http://) and port number. Contact InfinitView support via live chat for instant help.
