The Walmart **Onn 4K Plus** (and its upgraded version, the Onn 4K Pro) has become one of the most popular streaming devices in the United States. Priced affordably, it runs on Google TV OS and supports 4K HDR playback, Dolby Audio, and features a responsive remote control. For cord-cutters looking to build a high-quality IPTV setup on a budget, pairing the Onn box with **Tivimate Premium** is an excellent combination.
In this guide, the support engineers at **TivimatePrime** will show you exactly how to configure your IPTV subscription on the Onn 4K Plus box, set up optimal player settings, and resolve common audio or playback problems.
Installation Methods on Google TV
Because the Onn 4K Plus is an officially certified Google TV device, installing Tivimate is simple:
- Navigate to the "Apps" tab on your Google TV home screen.
- Select the search bar, type "Tivimate", and choose search.
- Click "Install" to download the official player to your device.
- Once installed, open the app to begin the configuration.
If the Google Play Store search fails to show Tivimate in your region, install the "Downloader" app from the app store, enable developer options for unknown sources in Google TV settings, and download the official Tivimate APK file directly.
Configuring Your TivimatePrime Subscription
After launching the app, follow these steps to connect your playlist:
- Click "Add Playlist".
- Select "Xtream Codes login". This method is recommended as it parses channels, VOD, and EPG data automatically.
- Enter the Server URL, Username, and Password details sent to you by our WhatsApp support representative.
- Click Next. The app will connect to our server and download the category listings.
Optimal Settings for the Onn 4K Plus Box
Although the Onn 4K Plus features a capable processor, adjusting these settings will ensure smooth playback:
1. Set Up Hardware Decoding
Ensure hardware decoding is active for both audio and video streams. Go to Settings > Playback > select "Use Hardware Decoder". This utilizes the Onn box's dedicated GPU, reducing CPU strain and preventing screen stuttering.
2. Adjust Audio Passthrough Settings
If you experience audio delay or no sound on channels with surround sound, navigate to Settings > Playback > Audio > toggle "Audio Passthrough" to OFF. This forces Tivimate to decode the audio stream internally, resolving sync errors on budget sound systems.
3. Enable Auto Frame Rate (AFR) Matching
Go to Settings > Playback > toggle "Auto Frame Rate" to ON. This matches your TV's refresh rate to the frame rate of the live broadcast (e.g. switching between 24fps movies, 50fps UK sports, and 60fps US sports), preventing screen judder.
Expanding Storage on the Onn 4K Box
A limitation of the budget Onn 4K Plus box is its 8GB internal storage. If you use Tivimate's recording feature, you will run out of space quickly. You can expand the storage by connecting a USB-C OTG cable to the power port, allowing you to connect a standard USB flash drive formatted as FAT32.
Once connected, go to Google TV Settings > System > Storage > format the USB drive as device storage. In Tivimate, you can then select the USB drive as your default recording directory.
Pairing the **Onn 4K Plus** box with **Tivimate Premium** and our high-speed server lines creates a streaming setup that rivals expensive cable packages. If you need assistance configuring your playlist or optimizing your connection, contact the **TivimatePrime** support desk on WhatsApp.
