How to install IPTV on a Fire TV Stick
Firestick IPTV is the most popular setup in Canada. This guide shows how to install an IPTV app on a Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube or Fire TV smart TV, and log in, in about ten minutes.
The Fire TV Stick is the cheapest way to turn any TV with an HDMI port into an IPTV set-up. Popular IPTV players are not always in the Amazon Appstore, so most people install them with Amazon’s own Downloader app. We send you the exact download link or code for the recommended player with your login.
What you need
- A Fire TV Stick (4K or 4K Max recommended), Fire TV Cube or Fire TV smart TV
- An internet connection of 10 Mbps or more (25 Mbps for 4K)
- Your IPTV Plus Canada login (or free trial)
Step 1: Allow apps from outside the Appstore
- On the Fire TV home screen, open Settings → My Fire TV.
- If you do not see Developer options, open About and click your device name seven times until it says you are a developer.
- Open Developer options → Install unknown apps (you will turn it on for Downloader in the next step).
Step 2: Install Downloader and the IPTV player
- Search for Downloader in the Appstore and install it.
- Back in Install unknown apps, switch Downloader to On.
- Open Downloader and enter the link or code we sent you for the player (TiviMate or IPTV Smarters).
- Choose Install, then Done, and delete the installation file when asked to free up space.
Step 3: Log in
- Open the player and choose Add playlist → Xtream Codes (TiviMate) or Login with Xtream Codes API (Smarters).
- Enter the server URL, username and password from your IPTV Plus Canada message.
- Wait a minute while channels, the guide and the movie library load. Then start watching.
Troubleshooting
- Buffering: restart the device and router, then try an ethernet cable or move the router closer. Most buffering is Wi-Fi, not the service.
- “Login failed”: check the server URL includes
http://and the port, and that there are no spaces in the username or password. - Guide (EPG) is empty: open the app settings and update the EPG, then wait a few minutes for it to load.
- A channel will not play: try another channel. If several fail, message us; we monitor the servers around the clock.
- Fire Stick running slowly: clear the cache of unused apps in Settings → Applications, and avoid older 1st-generation sticks for 4K.
