Set up IPTV on
NVIDIA Shield TV.
The NVIDIA Shield runs full Android TV, which makes it one of the best devices for IPTV. Setup is quick with Xtream Codes login, and playback is noticeably smoother than most other devices.
Before you start
- An NVIDIA Shield TV
- A Google account on the device
- Your login details from us
Step by step
Open Google Play
From the Shield home screen, open the Google Play Store.
Install TiviMate
Search for TiviMate and install it. It is the best-suited player for this device.
Choose Xtream Codes login
Open TiviMate and select "Add Playlist", then choose the Xtream Codes API option.
Enter your credentials
Type in the username, password and server address we sent you, then save.
Wait for content to sync
The app downloads your channels, films, series and TV guide. This takes a minute or two on first load.
Enable hardware decoding
In playback settings, make sure hardware decoding is on for the smoothest 4K playback.
- Alternative: M3U URL
TiviMate also supports M3U playlist URLs if you prefer, though Xtream login gives better organization.
- Good to know
The Shield handles 4K comfortably. A wired network connection gives the most stable result.
NVIDIA Shield TV FAQs
Can the Shield upscale to 4K?
Yes. It has a strong upscaler, so HD channels can look sharper on a 4K television.
Which Shield model should I buy?
Any current Shield TV or Shield TV Pro works. The Pro adds storage and USB ports.
Should I use Xtream login or M3U URL?
Xtream Codes login is recommended as it provides better EPG (TV guide) data and VOD organization.
