Prepare your Firestick for IPTV

Install an IPTV player

Luna Streams supports multiple Firestick-compatible players:

• TiviMate: Premium interface with guide and catch-up support. Install via Downloader app using the official APK link we provide in the welcome email.
• XCIPTV Player: Works with direct username/password without manual playlist uploads.
• Smarters Player Lite: Available on the Amazon Appstore, making it the quickest option for beginners.

Search the Amazon Appstore first. If your chosen player isn't listed, install the Downloader app and enter the Luna Streams download URL shared in your onboarding email. Compare all available options in our best IPTV apps for Smart TV guide or see the best IPTV app for Australian users.

2. Select Add Playlist or Login with Xtreme Codes API.
