How to install Flixnivo on any device

Install on Amazon Firestick & Fire TV

Works on Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K / 4K Max, Fire TV Cube and Fire TV smart TVs that run Fire OS. Installation takes about 5 minutes using the free Downloader app.

What you need

• A Fire TV device running Fire OS, connected to the internet
• Your Fire TV remote (or the Fire TV app on your phone, which gives you a keyboard)
• Your login details from our team

Step-by-step installation

1. Install the Downloader appFrom the Fire TV home screen choose Find (magnifier icon) → Search, type Downloader, and select the orange Downloader app by AFTVnews. Press Get / Download and wait for it to finish installing.
2. Open Developer OptionsGo to Settings (gear icon) → My Fire TV → Developer Options. If you do not see Developer Options, go to My Fire TV → About, highlight your device name and press the centre Select button 7 times quickly. A message says you are now a developer. Press Back and Developer Options will appear.
3. Allow Downloader to install appsInside Developer Options choose Install unknown apps and switch Downloader to ON. On older Fire OS versions this appears as Apps from Unknown Sources - switch it ON.
4. Open DownloaderLaunch Downloader from your Apps list. When asked to allow access to photos, media and files, choose Allow. If a Quick Start / what's-new window appears, press OK.
5. Enter the codeOn the Downloader Home tab, select the URL box and type this code exactly, then press Go:
   481220
6. Download and installWait for the download to reach 100%. When the install screen appears, press Install, then Done (or Open). Downloader will offer to delete the installer file - choose Delete twice to free up space.
7. Log in to the playerOpen the newly installed IPTV player. Choose Login with Xtream Codes API (or Add M3U URL if your login details include a playlist link). Enter any name, then the Username, Password and Server URL from your login details, and press Add User.
8. Start watchingWait while channels, movies and series load for the first time (this can take a minute), then open Live TV and select a channel.

Troubleshooting

• Downloader is not listed under "Install unknown apps": a Fire OS 7/8 bug caused this in late 2026, and Amazon has started rolling out a fix. Go to Settings → My Fire TV → About → Check for Updates and install any update. Turning ADB debugging OFF and back ON, then restarting the stick, also helps some people.
• The code does not load: re-type it carefully (6 digits, no spaces) and check your Wi-Fi. The Fire TV phone app makes typing much easier.
• "App not installed" or "Parse error": free some storage (Settings → My Fire TV → About → Storage), uninstall any older copy of the player, then repeat steps 5–6.
• Buffering: restart the stick, move it closer to the router, or use an ethernet adapter.

Install on MAG Box

MAG boxes (such as MAG 250, 254, 322, 324, 420, 424, 520 and 524) do not use an app. Instead you add a "portal" address once in the box's settings. No installation or download is needed.

What you need

• Your MAG box connected to the TV (HDMI) and to the internet (cable or Wi-Fi)
• The MAC address printed on the sticker under the box it starts with 00:1A:79
• The portal URL from our team (we will ask for your MAC address when you request your trial)

Step-by-step setup

1. Send us your MAC addressMessage support or write it in your trial request. The portal we send is linked to your box's MAC address, so it must be correct.
2. Connect to the internetPress SET (Setup) on the remote → System settings → Network and connect via cable or Wi-Fi.
3. Open the portal settingsPress SET → System settings → Servers → Portals.
4. Enter the portal detailsSet Portal 1 name to Flixnivo and Portal 1 URL to the portal address we sent you. Use the on-screen keyboard and double-check every character.
5. Save and restartChoose OK / Save, press Exit, then restart the box (or choose Reload portal).
6. Start watchingAfter the portal loads, your channels and movie library appear on the main menu.

Troubleshooting

• Blank screen or "portal not available": check the URL for typos or extra spaces and confirm your MAC address was sent to us correctly.
• No network: test the cable, restart your router, then re-enter the network settings.
• Old software: update the box under SET → Software update if the option is available.

Install on Smart TV (Samsung & LG)

Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs install apps from their own app stores — they can not run Android APK files. Which IPTV players are available depends on your TV's model year and country, so you may need to try a different player name.

Samsung Smart TV

1. Open the app storePress Home on the remote → Apps → the magnifier icon.
2. Search for a playerTry IPTV Smarters Pro, Smart IPTV, IBO Player or SS IPTV, and install whichever appears for your TV.
3. Open the appSome players log in directly (Username, Password, Server URL from your login details). Others show a MAC address / device ID on screen - write it down.
4. Activate (MAC-based players only)On your phone or computer, open the app's official activation website, enter the MAC address shown on your TV, and add the playlist link or login details we sent you. Save, then restart the app on your TV.
5. WatchOpen Live TV and select a channel.

LG Smart TV

1. Open the LG Content StorePress Home on the Magic Remote → LG Content Store → Apps, then use the search icon.
2. Search and installTry IPTV Smarters Pro, SS IPTV, Smart IPTV or IBO Player. LG TVs running webOS 4.0 or newer have the widest choice.
3. Log in or activateEnter your login details directly if the app allows it. If the app shows a MAC address / device ID instead, activate it through the app's website exactly as in the Samsung steps above.
4. WatchOpen Live TV and pick a channel.

Troubleshooting

• Player not in the store: update your TV software (Settings → Support → Software Update), then search again. Otherwise use a Firestick or Android TV box.
• App opens but no channels: make sure the playlist was saved on the activation website, then close and reopen the app.
• Buffering on Wi-Fi: TV Wi-Fi chips are often weak. Use the TV's ethernet port if possible.
