Setting Up Royal Stream IPTV Canada on Android

Android has the widest choice of player apps for premium IPTV of any platform. The same steps work on Android phones and tablets, Android TV boxes, NVIDIA Shield and Google TV streamers — including many TVs sold in Canada with Google TV built in.

Before You Start

  • An Android phone or tablet, Android TV box or Google TV device running a recent Android version
  • A Google account signed in to the Play Store
  • Your Royal Stream IPTV login details

Setup Steps

  1. 1

    Install the player app from Google Play

    Open the Play Store, search for the player our support team recommends for your device, and install it. On TV boxes, use the remote or voice search.

  2. 2

    Add your subscription

    Open the app and choose the option to add a login or playlist. Enter the server address, username and password (or the playlist link) exactly as sent to you.

  3. 3

    Allow the permissions it asks for

    Some players request storage or notification access for recordings and reminders. Allow what you need; the channels work without optional extras.

  4. 4

    Start streaming

    Pick a category, open a channel and check the TV guide. On a phone, enable picture-in-picture in the player to keep the game going while you use other apps.

Troubleshooting

Streams stop when the phone screen turns off

In Android settings, set battery optimisation for the player app to Unrestricted so it isn't paused in the background.

Buffering on mobile data

Switch the player to a lower quality to save data and keep playback steady, and check your Canadian carrier isn't throttling video.

The app crashes on an older TV box

Clear the app's cache, update the app and the box's system software, or ask us for a lighter player.

No sound on some channels

Change the audio decoder in the player's settings between hardware and software.

FAQ

Android Questions

NVIDIA Shield TV and recent Google TV streamers are the smoothest. Cheap unbranded boxes can struggle with 4K and live sport.
