How to Set Up IPTV on Firestick

This guide takes a brand-new (or freshly reset) Firestick to a working IPTV setup. Total time is around ten minutes, and none of it requires technical knowledge — just follow the screens in order.

What you need before starting

• A Firestick connected to the internet and signed in to an Amazon account
• Your Nexlivo login details (sent by email after your trial or purchase)
• The remote — everything happens on the TV screen

Step 1: Allow apps from outside the Appstore

Most IPTV players are installed directly rather than through Amazon's store, so the Firestick needs permission first. This is a standard Android setting, not a hack.

1. From the Firestick home screen, open Settings (the gear icon on the right).

2. Select My Fire TV.

3. Select Developer Options. On newer sticks this menu is hidden: go to My Fire TV → About, highlight your Fire TV Stick name and click it seven times to reveal it.

4. Select Install unknown apps (older sticks show Apps from Unknown Sources instead).

Leave this screen open — you'll flip the switch for Downloader in a moment.

Step 2: Install the Downloader app

1. Press the Home button, then open the Find / Search option.

2. Type Downloader and select the orange Downloader app by AFTVnews.

3. Click Get / Download and wait for it to install.
4. Go back to Install unknown apps (Step 1) and switch Downloader to ON.

Step 3: Download your IPTV player

1. Open Downloader. Allow it file access if asked.
2. Click into the URL box on the home screen.
3. Enter the download code or address for your chosen player. For IBO Player Pro, enter the code 834339 and press Go.

4. The APK downloads and the install screen appears. Click Install.
5. When it finishes, choose Open (you can also click Delete on the prompt afterwards to remove the leftover APK file and free up space).

Step 4: Sign in with your Nexlivo details

1. Open the player app.
2. Choose the Xtream Codes API login option (in IBO Player Pro this is under Change Playlist → Add Playlist → Xtream-Codes-API; some apps need a one-off activation first — see the IBO Player Pro guide).
3. Enter the username, password and server URL exactly as they appear in your welcome message. They are case-sensitive.
4. Confirm and let the app fetch your channel list.

Step 5: Load the guide and start watching

The first load pulls the full channel list and programme guide — give it a minute on the first run. After that, open Live TV, pick a category and you're watching. Set favourites early; it makes day-to-day use much quicker.
