This tutorial shows how to install the STRIMIX App on Apple TV and iOS devices.

STRIMIX is a free live TV player available in the Apple App Store since December 2024. This supports MAG/Stalker portals, Xtream API credentials, and M3U playlists across Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

The App Store privacy label claims that STRIMIX does not collect user data or track viewer behavior. For cord-cutters who care about privacy, that alone makes it worth a look.

Below you will find a screenshot guide to install the STRIMIX app on our Apple TV 4K. After the installation tutorial we will show you how to setup this live TV player by inputting an M3U URL or Xtream Codes login credentials.

TROYPOINT Tip: We suggest reading our pros/cons of this app below the installation steps to determine if this is a good option for you.

How to Install STRIMIX App on Apple TV

1. Click the App Store from the home screen of your Apple TV 4K.

2. Click the search icon, type in ‘STRIMIX‘ and select the result for STRIMIX IPTV Player.

3. Click Get.

4. Click Get again.

5. Click Open.

6. Once the app launches click Add Portal.

7. Then choose your portal type (IPTV login method). The STRIMIX app offers logins for M3U playlists, Xtream Codes API, STB, Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin.

TROYPOINT Tip: Here you will need to refer to your IPTV service and login credentials. Typically they will provide login information in your welcome email.

8. Enter your login credentials and click Save. We used an M3U playlist in this example.

9. Then click Connect and wait for your playlist data to import.

10. You have successfully installed and setup the STRIMIX app on your Apple TV device.

11. Before streaming content within the STRIMIX app, we strongly recommend connecting to Surfshark VPN to hide your online activity and protect yourself from unverified IPTV developers.

STRIMIX App Categories & Details

STRIMIX organizes content into four tabs: Channels, Favorites, History, and Settings.

After clicking into a category you will notice a list of channels on the left. You can easily navigate between these channels.

The full screen view within STRIMIX also works great.

Another great feature within STRIMIX is multiview. You can watch up to four channels at once from the same screen.

You can configure numerous settings within this app related to network, storage, data management, appearance, and more.

While the app offers compatibility for a TV guide (EPG), your live TV provider must provide a working EPG URL in order to use one.

Other notable features within STRIMIX include:

• Multi-portal support for managing several IPTV services
• iCloud sync across all Apple devices
• Downloads for offline viewing when supported
• Continue Watching to resume on any synced device
• Picture-in-Picture and AirPlay support
• Jellyfin and Emby server support (Beta)
• Multiple subtitle formats and selectable audio tracks

STRIMIX App Review

Here is what our testing revealed about the STRIMIX App:

What We Like

• 100% free with no ads and no in-app purchases
• Supports MAG/Stalker portals, Xtream Codes API, and M3U playlists
• Privacy label claims zero data collection and no tracking of viewing behavior
• Multi-portal management for switching between separate IPTV services
• Multiview lets you watch up to four channels at once on a single screen
• iCloud sync keeps portals, favorites, and watch history across all Apple devices
• Built with native SwiftUI for fast response times
• TMDb metadata integration pulls in movie posters, cast info, ratings, and plot summaries
• Downloads for offline viewing
• Picture-in-Picture and AirPlay support built in

What We Don’t Like

• Very new app (December 2024) with a limited track record compared to established players
• Not available on Android, Fire TV, or any non-Apple platform
• EPG functionality depends on your IPTV provider supplying a working guide URL
• Small review count on the App Store makes it hard to gauge long-term reliability
• Jellyfin and Emby server support is still in beta and may not work reliably
• No built-in recording feature for saving live streams
• Requires iOS 17.0 or later, which cuts off users on older Apple devices

App Store Reviews

User reviews have been largely positive scoring 4.8/5 and 42 total ratings. Several people said STRIMIX replaced every other IPTV player on their devices. Fast Xtream setup and smooth multi-portal handling were common highlights.

Is the STRIMIX App Safe to Use?

Since STRIMIX is distributed through the Apple App Store, it has gone through Apple’s review process before being made available to the public. Apple screens apps for malicious code, privacy violations, and other security concerns before approving them for download.

The App Store privacy label also confirms that the developer does not collect any data from users. Combined with Apple’s vetting process, STRIMIX appears to be a safe option for streaming on your Apple TV, iPhone, or iPad.

However, users should proceed with caution if using unverified IPTV services. Protect yourself with a VPN to encrypt your online connection and have complete anonymity.

Final Thoughts from Troy

STRIMIX is one of the better free IPTV players I’ve tested on Apple TV. The lack of ads, zero data collection, and multiview support make it stand out from other options in the App Store.

It’s still a young app with a short track record, so keep that in mind before ditching your current player. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one as the developer continues rolling out updates.
