How To Install and Use iMPlayer IPTV Player on Firestick and Android TV
This step by-step-tutorial will provide you with instructions to Install and Use iMPlayer on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV Box.
iMPlayer is a new IPTV Player that works well with IPTV Services that provide an M3U URL or Xtreme Codes API.
This is a great addition to other IPTV Players such as TiviMate or IPTV Smarters.
Check with your current IPTV provider on whether they grant access to their M3U URL prior to going through this guide.
You can usually find this in your welcome email, support documents, or online discussion board that most IPTV services offer for their subscribers.
There is both a premium version and a free version of the iMPlayer software available for use. However, KODIFIREIPTVsuggests purchasing a premium account for a much better experience.
The premium option includes the following features not available with the free version:
Recording
Adding channels to Favorites
Catch-up
Rewinding feature
Multiview
Locking channels
Support for multiple playlists
Customizable TV Guides
Manual Channels sorting
Like most IPTV players, without using the premium version there isn’t much sense in using this app.
iMPlayer Screenshots
We suggest first installing the free app via the instructions below. If you like the app, you can register for the premium version and we cover that below as well.
Install iMPlayer on Firestick/Fire TV and Android TV Box
In this example, I am installing the iMPlayer app on an Amazon Firestick 4K. We must side-load this application due to the fact that it isn’t available inside the Amazon App Store.
If you’re using an Android TV Box or NVIDIA Shield, you can install the Downloader App by using the guide below.

iMPlayer Setup
After installing the iMPlayer application on your device you will need to go through the setup process.
Follow our short guide below for setting up iMPlayer with your preferred IPTV service.
If you need an IPTV service, a simple search on YouTube or Google will provide you with hundreds of services to choose from.
1. On the home screen of iMPlayer click Add Playlist.
2. Once on this screen, you can either log in with an M3U URL or Xtreme Codes API.
Because these M3U URL’s are so long to type, we recommend using an API or Xtream Code if applicable.
Most M3U URLs require that you input your service username and password. You will usually see where these go inside the URL as they are indicated by “username=xxxx” & password=xxxx”.
You will input your username and password where the x’s are located.
Here is an example of an M3U URL. This is not a real M3U URL but this is how the structure typically looks.
http://liveiptvservice.org:86/get.php?username=xxxx&password=xxxx&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
3. For this example, we are connecting our IPTV account with iMPlayer using the Xtreme Codes API. If using Xtreme Codes API hover over and click Use XC Portal Login API in the upper right.
4. Enter in all of your account information and click Add & Connect.
5. Wait for the connection to your IPTV service to fully load.
6. If this message appears just click Close.
7. Click Close again.
8. That’s it! You have successfully setup iMPlayer with your IPTV service.
Important Note: Many of the features within iMPlayer are not available for those who choose to use the free version.
For example, if you try adding a channel or channels to Favorites you will be prompted with the following message:
For those who wish to use the free version, simply click the back button on your remote to continue using iMPlayer.
If you purchase the premium option by using the website listed above – https://implayer.tv we can login for added benefits.
If you need to create an account, you can follow instructions below on how to do that.

iMPlayer Details & Features
After installing iMPlayer, you will notice the unique interface this IPTV player offers.
The menu bar on the left lists your Playlist Categories or “Groups” as they are referred to in the app. These can be hidden, removed, and managed all within the Settings.
This is a great way to eliminate any unwanted Channel lists that you don’t use or need.

Warning! Protect Yourself With A VPN
Most cord-cutters use a VPN and rightfully so.
The free streaming applications, addons, and paid IPTV services that you use are usually hosted on insecure servers.
Without a VPN, your IP Address is being logged.
Your IP Address points back to your location and identity which compromises both your privacy and security.
Your current IP Address is 35.221.15.14 – When you use a VPN, your real IP address will be converted into an anonymous new one.
A VPN will provide you with an anonymous connection to the Internet.
This will prevent your Internet Service Provider, app/addon developers, government agencies, and any 3rd party from logging what you’re accessing online.
The most popular VPN among cord-cutters is Quad VPN due to their blazing fast speeds and zero log policy.
Its important to use a VPN that is fast since we are streaming large HD files. Its also crucial to find one that keeps no logs of what their subscribers access while online.
Setting up Quad VPN on your streaming device is simple!
Step 1 Register for an Quad VPN account by clicking the link below.
This exclusive link provides you with a hefty discount, only available to KODIFIREIPTVvisitors like you.

Step 3 – Click the Quad VPN option that appears.
Step 4 – Click the Quad VPN icon under Apps & Games.
Step 5 – Click Download.
Step 6 – Click Open.
Step 7 – Enter your username and password to login. Your username is the email that you used to register for Quad VPN service with and your password is automatically generated and emailed to you.
Step 8 – Click Connect button.
Step 9 – Click OK for Connection request if it appears.
Step 10 – You will notice that your IP Address changes along with location of connection. You are now operating anonymously through your device.
Click the Home Button on your remote and the VPN will remain running in the background.
Congratulations! You are now protected by a VPN which means everything that you stream or access through your Firestick or Android TV Box is hidden from the rest of the world.
