IPTV on Android TV, Google TV and Android boxes

Android TV and Google TV run on many devices: TV boxes such as the Nvidia Shield or Xiaomi TV Box, the Google TV Streamer, and smart TVs from brands like Sony, TCL and Philips. They all install apps from Google Play, which makes them some of the easiest devices to set up with ISLEMAX. The same steps also work on Android phones and tablets.

Before you start

• An active ISLEMAX plan or a free trial.
• Your Xtream Codes login (username, password and server URL) or M3U link, sent by WhatsApp, Telegram or email.
• A stable connection: 10 Mbps for HD and FHD, 25 Mbps or more for 4K.
• A Google account signed in on the device.

Step 1: install the IPTV player from Google Play

1. On Android TV, open the Google Play Store from the home screen. On Google TV, use Search or the Apps tab.
2. Search for the IPTV player we recommend and select it.
3. Choose Install, then Open.

Popular players that support Xtream Codes and M3U logins include TiviMate and IPTV Smarters. Some offer extra features in a paid version, paid to the app developer. Our team tells you which one works best on your device.

Step 2: add your ISLEMAX account

1. Open the app and choose to add a playlist or account.
2. Select Xtream Codes and enter the server URL, username and password we sent you. If we gave you an M3U link, choose M3U and paste it.
3. Give the playlist a name such as ISLEMAX and confirm.
4. Wait for the channels, films, series and TV guide to load, then add your favourite channels for quick access.

Get the best picture on Android TV

• Use Ethernet on boxes that have a port; otherwise connect to 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
• Choose a device with at least 2 GB of RAM for smooth 4K playback.
• If a channel stutters, switch the player’s decoder between hardware and software in its playback settings.
• Turn on automatic frame rate matching if your device and player offer it, for smoother sport.

Troubleshooting

• Buffering: restart the box and the router, test your speed and close apps running in the background.
• Login error: check the server URL first, including http:// and the port number if we sent one.
• Empty TV guide: update the EPG in the app settings, then wait a few minutes.
• The app keeps crashing: go to Settings > Apps, open the player, clear its cache and restart the device.

On a phone or tablet, the steps are the same: install the player from Google Play, add your account and watch over Wi-Fi or mobile data. If you need help, contact our team any time.
