How to Install iMPlayer

This tutorial will show you how to install and set up iMPlayer on an Amazon Fire TV Stick or Cube.

Since iMPlayer isn’t available in the Amazon App Store, you’ll need to sideload it onto your device.

1. Set up your Firestick:

Connect the Firestick to your TV and power it on.
Complete the initial setup, including connecting to Wi-Fi and signing in to your Amazon account.

2. Enable Developer Options and ADB Debugging:

From the Home screen select Settings (gear icon in the top menu).
Scroll down and select My Fire TV.
Select About.
Select Fire TV Stick (or your Firestick model) and click 8 times. A message will appear saying “You are now a developer.”
Now, go back to My Fire TV and you’ll see a new menu item called Developer Options.
In Developer Options, select ADB Debugging and toggle the option to On.

3. Install Downloader App:

Now, go back to the Home screen and go to the Search Bar (magnifying glass icon).
Type in “Downloader” and select the Downloader app.
Click Get to download and install the app.
After the Downloader app is installed, go ahead and Open.
When prompted, allow Downloader to access your photos, media, and files on your device. (This is necessary for downloading and installing files.)

4. Apps from Unknown Sources:

Now, go back to the Home screen and select Settings.
Scroll down and select My Fire TV.
Select Developer Options.
Select Apps from Unknown Sources, find the Downloader app and toggle the option to On.

5. Download iMPlayer:

After Apps from Unknown Sources is enabled, go back to the Home screen and scroll to Your Apps & Channels.
Scroll down and open the Downloader app.
In the URL bar, type in 82375.
Click Go to begin downloading the iMPlayer app.

6. Install iMPlayer:

After the app finishes downloading, a prompt will appear asking if you want to install the file.
Select Install and wait for the installation process to finish.

7. Add a Playlist:

After installation is complete, open the iMPlayer app.
When prompted, allow iMPlayer to access your photos, media, and files on your device. (This is necessary for downloading and installing files.)
You will be prompted to add a playlist by entering a Management Code. (This code is provided by your service provider.)
Select Management Code and enter the code into the provided field and select Verify.
Your playlist will now begin updating (please wait for it to complete).
A walkthrough guide will appear. Use the right button to navigate through it, then select Close.
Once the playlist update is complete, you can start streaming content.

8. Move iMPlayer to Your Home Screen (Optional):

Once iMPlayer set up is complete, go back to the Home screen and scroll to Your Apps & Channels.
Scroll down to find iMPlayer.
Highlight the app, press the Options button (three horizontal lines) on your remote, and choose Move to Front to place the app on your home screen for easy access.
