What You Need Before Setting Up ViviMate

Before starting your ViviMate setup, it helps to have your device ready and understand how your playlist information will be added. ViviMate is a media player that can be configured with compatible playlist information.

Important: ViviMate is a player application. It does not provide television channels, movies, or other media by itself. You need compatible and authorized playlist or media access from your own provider or source.
  • A compatible device
  • ViviMate installed on your device
  • A compatible playlist or login information
  • Stable internet connectivity
  • Optional EPG information for electronic program guides

If you have not installed the application yet, start with our ViviMate installation guide.

For general background information about IPTV technology, see the Internet Protocol television overview.

How to Add an M3U Playlist to ViviMate

An M3U playlist is one of the common playlist formats used with media players. If you have a compatible and authorized M3U playlist, you can configure it in ViviMate through the playlist setup process.

What Is an M3U Playlist?

An M3U playlist is a text-based playlist format that can contain references to media streams. The information inside the playlist determines what content a compatible player can display.

For a detailed walkthrough, see our ViviMate M3U setup guide.

How to Use Xtream Codes in ViviMate

Some compatible services provide login information using an Xtream Codes-style setup. Depending on the playlist and service configuration, this can provide account details that the player uses to retrieve available playlist information.

When using this method, make sure you enter your credentials exactly as provided by your authorized service or media source.

Security tip: Never publish your username, password, server address, or other private account information publicly.

See our dedicated ViviMate Xtream Codes setup guide for more information.

How to Add EPG to ViviMate

EPG stands for Electronic Program Guide. When compatible EPG information is available, it can help display program schedules and guide information alongside your playlist.

Why Is EPG Useful?

A properly configured EPG can make channel navigation easier by showing program information instead of requiring you to open each channel individually.

ViviMate Playlist Management

After adding a playlist, keeping it organized can make ViviMate easier to use. Depending on the available options, you may be able to manage playlists, update playlist information, organize groups, and control how content appears.
