How to set up Krooz TV on Android and Google TV
Android devices are the easiest home for KroozTV. Most players are in the Google Play Store, they run smoothly, and Android TV boxes handle 4K better than most Smart TVs. This guide covers Android TV boxes, Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV and Android phones.
Install KroozTV on Android TV or Google TV
Open the Play Store
On Google TV, go to Apps → Search for apps. On older Android TV boxes, open the Google Play Store from the app row.
Install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters
Search TiviMate IPTV Player (best for a cable-style guide) or an Xtream-compatible player we name in your welcome message. Install it.
Add a playlist
Open the player → Add playlist → Xtream Codes. Enter the server URL, username and password from our message.
Let the guide load
The player downloads channels, then the EPG. Give it two minutes on first launch. After that, open the guide and set your favourites.
On an Android phone or tablet
Same idea, smaller screen. Install a player from Google Play, add the playlist with your three details, done. On mobile data, lower the stream quality in the player settings unless you have an unlimited plan; an hour of HD uses around 1.5–3 GB.
Generic Android boxes from marketplaces
Unbranded boxes often run an old Android version without the Play Store, or with a modified one. If the store is missing, you can sideload a player APK. Ask us for the current, verified link rather than searching for one; a lot of copies online are bundled with adware.
The three details every player asks for
| Field in the player | What to enter | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Name / playlist name | Anything, e.g. "KroozTV" | None; it is only a label |
| Server / URL / host | The full URL from our message, with http:// and the port | Dropping the :port at the end |
| Username | Exactly as sent | Auto-capitalised first letter on phones |
| Password | Exactly as sent | A trailing space copied from WhatsApp |
Answers
Questions people ask
Which Android player is best for Krooz TV?
TiviMate has the best TV guide and supports recording. IPTV Smarters is simpler. Both work with the same KroozTV login.
Does Krooz TV work on Chromecast with Google TV?
Yes. It is a Google TV device, so follow the steps above.
Can I cast from my Android phone to the TV?
You can, but a player running on the TV itself is smoother and doesn’t drain your phone. Casting is fine as a stopgap.
