Other players

Other apps — Xtream Codes, M3U, TiviMate, Roku

Connect any IPTV service to Ducking IPTV or another player. Ducking IPTV is the player only — you bring your own Xtream Codes login or M3U playlist.

Xtream Codes

Sign in with an Xtream Codes login

  1. Open your player

    Ducking IPTV, TiviMate, or any Xtream Codes-compatible app.

  2. Choose Xtream Codes API

    Select "Add playlist via Xtream Codes API" (not M3U).

  3. Enter your credentials

    Server URL, username and password from your IPTV provider.

  4. Load

    Channels, EPG guide and VOD load automatically.

Quality / 4K

Once loaded, open the player's quality settings and force 4K / max bitrate, turn off Auto — see the full 4K setup for your device.

M3U

Load an M3U playlist

  1. Open your player

    Choose "Add playlist via M3U URL."

  2. Paste the playlist URL

    Your provider gives you an .m3u8 link — paste it in full.

  3. Load channels

    The channel list appears; EPG loads if your provider includes it.

M3U vs Xtream Codes

Xtream Codes (server + user + pass) usually gives a better guide and VOD. M3U is just a link — if the guide is missing, ask your provider for Xtream Codes instead.

TiviMate

Set up TiviMate (Android TV / Fire TV)

  1. Install TiviMate

    From Google Play (Android TV) or sideload the APK (Fire TV / Firestick — see the Emby APK install steps, same Downloader method).

  2. Add your playlist

    Premium → Playlists → Add → Xtream Codes or M3U URL.

  3. Set the guide source

    If EPG isn't showing, add your provider's XMLTV EPG URL in Playlist settings.

  4. Lock 4K

    TiviMate → Settings → Playback → force the highest quality, disable Auto. Then set your Fire TV/Shield to 4K output too (device steps).
