How to Set Up IPTV on Android Phone or Tablet

Updated 2026-06-14 · 6 min read

Android gives you the widest choice of IPTV players of any platform — from polished, EPG-forward apps to simple players that just get out of the way. This guide covers how to set up IPTV on Android phone or tablet using your iptv.domains Xtream credentials, which player to choose, and step-by-step login instructions for each.

TL;DR: Install Chillio, TiviMate, or IPTV Smarters Pro from the Google Play Store → choose Xtream Codes → enter your iptv.domains server URL, username, and password → load channels. Your credentials are permanent and work on every Android device you own.

What you need

  • An Android phone or tablet running Android 6.0 or later
  • Your iptv.domains credentials: server URL, username, and password (shown in the Credentials section of your dashboard)
  • A Google account for Play Store downloads
  • A reliable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection

Choosing an Android IPTV player

Android has more IPTV app options than any other platform. All three players below support the Xtream Codes API, which is the login method iptv.domains uses. Pick the one that suits how you like to browse.

Chillio — recommended

Chillio is one of the most thoughtfully designed IPTV players available on Android. It has a clean, modern interface, smooth EPG scrolling, and handles large playlists without slowing down. If you want a player that feels genuinely polished rather than functional-but-clunky, Chillio is the one to try first. Available on the Google Play Store.

TiviMate

TiviMate has a strong following among experienced IPTV users. Its EPG-driven layout puts the TV guide front and centre, which suits people who browse by schedule rather than channel list. The base app is free on the Play Store; a one-time in-app upgrade unlocks multiple playlists, recording support, and catch-up playback.

IPTV Smarters Pro

A free, widely used player that covers all the basics: live TV, VOD, series, and EPG. It works reliably and is a safe starting point if you are new to IPTV. Available free on the Google Play Store.

Tip: Demivo — iptv.domains' own native Android player — is currently in development. It will pair directly with your account when it launches, without requiring separate Xtream credential entry in a third-party app.

Setting up IPTV on Android with Chillio

  1. Open the Google Play Store, search for Chillio, and install it.
  2. Launch Chillio. On the add-playlist screen, select Xtream Codes as the source type.
  3. Give your playlist a name (e.g. My IPTV).
  4. Paste your iptv.domains Server URL into the server field — copy it exactly from your dashboard, including https://.
  5. Enter your Username and Password.
  6. Tap Add. Chillio connects, loads your channels, and builds the EPG guide.
  7. Browse to Live TV, select a category, and start watching.

Setting up IPTV on Android with TiviMate

  1. Install TiviMate from the Google Play Store and open it.
  2. Tap Add playlist on the setup screen.
  3. Select Xtream Codes API.
  4. Enter your iptv.domains server URL, username, and password.
  5. Tap Next. TiviMate imports your channels and begins building the EPG guide in the background.

Setting up IPTV on Android with IPTV Smarters Pro

  1. Install IPTV Smarters Pro from the Google Play Store.
  2. Open the app and tap Add New User.
  3. Choose Login with Xtream Codes API.
  4. Enter a name, then your iptv.domains server URL, username, and password.
  5. Tap Add User. Your channel list and VOD library will load.
Example

Getting IPTV running on a new Android tablet in minutes

Tom already has iptv.domains set up on his Fire TV. He just bought an Android tablet and wants the same account working on it without changing anything on the Fire TV side.

  1. He installs Chillio from the Play Store on the tablet.
  2. He opens the iptv.domains dashboard in a browser, copies his server URL, username, and password from Credentials.
  3. He enters those three values into Chillio using the Xtream Codes option.
  4. Chillio loads the same channel list and EPG he sees on the Fire TV — same account, same permanent URL.
  5. No changes needed on the Fire TV. Both devices run independently off the same credentials.

Managing your playlist and EPG from your phone

Your iptv.domains dashboard works in any mobile browser. Open it on your Android phone to access the playlist editor — disable categories you never watch, reorder your favourites to the top, and rename channels. Changes appear on every device immediately without restarting the player. If your TV guide is missing or mapping to the wrong show, the EPG editor lets you remap channels from the same browser.

Android tips for better playback

For the most stable live TV, connect to your 5 GHz Wi-Fi band rather than 2.4 GHz. Most Android IPTV players support picture-in-picture mode (Android 8.0+), so you can keep a stream running while checking messages. Close other apps that stream video or music before starting a channel if you notice buffering.

Using the same credentials across devices

Your iptv.domains server URL, username, and password work identically on any player, any platform. The Xtream Codes setup guide has platform-specific steps for every app and device type if you need to add IPTV to another screen in the house.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best IPTV player for Android phone?

Chillio is one of the most polished Android IPTV players available, with a modern interface and strong Xtream Codes support. TiviMate is another popular choice, especially for users who prefer an EPG-driven layout. IPTV Smarters Pro is a solid free option. All three support Xtream Codes login.

Does TiviMate work on Android phones and tablets?

Yes. TiviMate is available on the Google Play Store and runs on Android phones and tablets. Its interface is designed around a TV-guide layout, so it suits larger screens well. It is particularly popular on Fire TV and Android TV boxes.

Do my credentials change when I switch IPTV providers?

Not with iptv.domains. When you add or switch providers inside your account, the server URL, username, and password your player uses stay exactly the same. Your player never needs to be reconfigured — it just picks up the updated content.

Can I run an IPTV stream in the background on Android?

Most IPTV players support background audio on Android, and picture-in-picture is available on Android 8.0 and above. TiviMate and Chillio both handle background playback well. Background video support varies by player and Android version.

Is there an official iptv.domains Android app?

Demivo, a native Android IPTV player built for iptv.domains, is currently in development. When it launches it will pair directly with your account. Until then, Chillio, TiviMate, or IPTV Smarters Pro are the recommended players.

Stop re-entering IPTV credentials on every device

iptv.domains gives you one permanent URL, automatic failover, and a full playlist & EPG editor. Free trial, no card required.
