Adding IPTV Playlists in Companion App
You can add playlists through both the companion app or the application directly. Using the Companion app is easier because you can use a keyboard on your PC. phone or tablet which makes it much quicker.
To add a Playlist through the NexTV Companion app go into My Playlists and then click Add a playlist.
It’s important to point out a few important details regarding this process.
Your IPTV service will provide you with the credentials that you need to make this work. You will want to look for Xtream Codes Portal or just portal login information from your provider. See my IPTV Master Class Video on the following page that shows how to securely register for IPTV and use it anonymously.
When adding the url into the Host box, you do not want to add http:// or https:// as you will use the Protocol box to signify which is used in the address. If your IPTV service url start with http:// you will choose that as Protocol. If it starts with https:// you will choose that.
The port number is also usually added to the end of the address that your IPTV service provides. This also must be removed from the URL as well and placed in the port box.
Here’s an example of how a typical URL looks from an IPTV provider and you will see in the above image how I add this as a playlist.
Host: http://domain.com:80
Once you’ve filled in your IPTV details click the Submit button.

What I Really Like About NexTV
The feature that I really enjoy is having all of my playlists, favorites, groups, and watch-lists in an online account. This means that when I add the app to a new streaming device, everything is there!
TiviMate needs to take note of these features and allow the same login opportunities. They also need to allow for an easier registration process like this because their companion app is less than ideal.
