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.
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.
Setting up IPTV on Android with Chillio
- Open the Google Play Store, search for Chillio, and install it.
- Launch Chillio. On the add-playlist screen, select Xtream Codes as the source type.
- Give your playlist a name (e.g. My IPTV).
- Paste your iptv.domains Server URL into the server field — copy it exactly from your dashboard, including
https://. - Enter your Username and Password.

- Open the app and tap Add New User.

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.
- He installs Chillio from the Play Store on the tablet.
- He opens the iptv.domains dashboard in a browser, copies his server URL, username, and password from Credentials.
- He enters those three values into Chillio using the Xtream Codes option.
- Chillio loads the same channel list and EPG he sees on the Fire TV — same account, same permanent URL.
- 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.
