Before you start
- A Chromecast with Google TV set up with Wi-Fi
- A Google account signed in on the device
- Your playlist URL or Xtream Codes username, password, and server URL
Steps
Open the Google Play Store
From the Google TV home screen, find and open the Play Store app.
Search for a player app
Search "IPTV Smarters Pro" or "TiviMate" and select the official listing.
Install the app
Select Install and wait for the download to complete.
Open the app and log in
Launch the app, choose your login method, and enter your M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes username, password, and server URL.
Confirm channels play back
Select a channel to confirm smooth playback. Chromecast with Google TV's compact hardware handles standard and HD streams comfortably; very high-bitrate 4K streams may occasionally test its limits.
Troubleshooting
The remote's Google TV home screen doesn't show the new app
Newly installed apps sometimes take a moment to appear in the row of apps — check the full apps list (usually via the apps icon or a long-press on the home screen) if it's not immediately visible.
Playback stutters on higher-bitrate streams
Chromecast with Google TV has less processing headroom than a Shield or Fire TV Cube — if 4K streams stutter, try a lower-bitrate stream option in the player app if your service offers one.
