Choose IPTV Player One if

  • You watch on an Apple TV, a Mac, a Windows PC or an iPhone
  • You want to cast from your phone or PC with the subtitles in sync
  • You switch screens and want to carry on where you stopped
  • You want the app in your own language, one of 31

Choose TiviMate if

  • You only watch on an Android TV box and want the most mature remote-first player
  • You need recording, catch-up or multi-view
  • Your provider gives you a Stalker portal instead of an M3U link

Two good players, two different worlds

TiviMate earned its reputation on Android TV. It is built for a remote, it records, it plays catch-up and it can show several channels at once. If all your watching happens on one Android TV box, that is hard to beat, and we will not pretend otherwise.

IPTV Player One starts from the other side: every screen you own. The same app runs on Apple TV, Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad and Android TV and Google TV, and in every plan those devices stay in step: pause a film on your phone and the TV continues from the same second. That is what TiviMate does not do, and its users have asked for it for years.

Switching is a matter of minutes

You do not lose anything by trying. Enter the same M3U link or Xtream Codes login you use in TiviMate, and your channels, films and series appear. On a TV you do not even type: the screen shows a QR code, and you fill in the playlist on your phone. The first 14 days are free from the first time you open the app, without payment details.

Both apps are players only. Neither includes channels or content: you bring a playlist you are allowed to use.

Frequently asked questions

Is there TiviMate for Apple TV, iPhone, Mac or Windows?

No. TiviMate is made for Android TV and Google TV only, and the App Store apps with a similar name are from other makers. IPTV Player One is in the App Store for Apple TV, iPhone, iPad and Mac, and runs on Windows too.

Can I use my TiviMate playlist in IPTV Player One?

Yes. Both take an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login, so you enter the same details and nothing needs converting. A Stalker or MAC portal does not work in IPTV Player One.

Does TiviMate sync between devices?

Not as far as the maker says. TiviMate Premium can back up your settings to a file and restore them on another box. IPTV Player One syncs where you stopped, your favourites, your settings and your playlists across 2 devices with Starter or 8 with Pro, within seconds.

Can IPTV Player One record or play catch-up?

No, and we would rather say so than let you find out. If recording or catch-up from your provider matters most to you, TiviMate on an Android TV box is the better choice.

Does TiviMate run on the newest Fire TV sticks?

Not on the models with Vega OS, such as the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, because they do not allow sideloading. The same goes for IPTV Player One: it runs on Fire TV devices with Fire OS 6 or newer, installed from our site with the Downloader app, and not on Vega OS. See IPTV Player One for Fire TV.

IPTV Player One contains no channels, content or subscriptions. It is a media player for playlists you legally own or are licensed to use. Using it for pirated content is not permitted.
