How to Set Up OnagiTV IPTV on Any Device: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

⏱ Reading Time: 8 minutes

After subscribing to OnagiTV, the next step is getting it running on your preferred screen. Unlike traditional TV, there’s no engineer visit, no hardware rental, and no waiting — everything happens through an app you install yourself. This guide covers every supported device with exact steps, so you’re streaming live TV and sports within minutes of your subscription activating.

Understanding Your OnagiTV Credentials

After payment at onagitv.com/, you’ll receive an email containing four key pieces of information:

• Username — your unique OnagiTV account username
• Password — your account password
• Server URL — the OnagiTV server address (format: http://onagitv.com:8080)
• M3U URL — a combined playlist link used by players that don’t support Xtream Codes login

Keep this email accessible during setup. Xtream Codes login (using Server URL + Username + Password) is preferred where supported, as it enables the EPG and catch-up TV features. M3U URL is a fallback for devices with limited app support.

Setup on Android TV and Amazon Fire Stick

Best App: TiviMate IPTV Player

1. On Android TV: open the Google Play Store and search TiviMate. On Fire Stick: open Downloader (install from Amazon Appstore first) and navigate to tivimate.com to download the APK.
2. Launch TiviMate and tap Add Playlist
3. Select Xtream Codes
4. Enter your OnagiTV Server URL, Username, and Password
5. Tap Next — TiviMate loads all channels and categories automatically
6. Go to Live TV → Sports or use search to find your channel

Tip: After setup, go to TiviMate Settings → EPG → Enable EPG to activate the 7-day programme guide and catch-up TV features.

Setup on iPhone and iPad

Best App: IPTV Smarters Pro (App Store)

1. Download IPTV Smarters Pro from the Apple App Store
2. Open the app and tap Add New User
3. Select Login with Xtream Codes API
4. Enter your OnagiTV Username, Password, and URL

For Apple TV: Download GSE Smart IPTV from the Apple TV App Store. It supports Xtream Codes login with the same credentials and provides a clean full-screen TV experience.

Setup on Samsung Smart TV (Tizen OS)

Frequently Asked Questions

Which connection method should I use — Xtream Codes or M3U?

Use Xtream Codes whenever your app supports it. It loads faster, enables EPG automatically, and activates catch-up TV. Use M3U only for devices where Xtream Codes login isn’t available, such as some Smart TV apps and VLC on desktop.

Do I need to reinstall OnagiTV every time I restart my device?

No. Once you’ve entered your credentials in the IPTV player app, they are saved permanently. Simply open the app after restarting and your channels load automatically.

Can I use OnagiTV on multiple devices with one subscription?

Yes. Standard plans support 2 simultaneous connections. You can install OnagiTV on as many devices as you like but stream on the number of connections your plan allows concurrently.

My Smart TV isn’t listed above — what should I do?

Connect an Amazon Fire Stick 4K or Android TV box to any HDMI port on your TV. This gives you full OnagiTV functionality via TiviMate on any television, regardless of the TV’s built-in operating system.
