How to Install MX Player APK on FireStick / Fire TV

Last updated April 1, 2023 By James

install mx player on firestickI am providing you the complete set of steps to install MX Player on FireStick. The methods included in this post cover Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick 4K as well as FireStick.

A lot of third-party streaming applications allow you to use an external media player for video playback. That’s because usually, their built-in player is not good enough. MX Player is an Android-based media player, which is recommended and supported by numerous streaming applications (many are included in our Best FireStick Apps list).

MX Player isn’t of much use in itself. Of course, you can play the media saved locally in FireStick storage. But, not a lot of us use FireStick for local media playback. It is primarily a streaming device.

However, if you do use the apps like TeaTV, Cyberflix TV, TVZion, etc, I recommend you install MX Player for better streaming experience.

Attention FireStick Users: Read before you continue

Your government and ISP are probably monitoring your streaming activities using your IP address 40.77.167.145 (exposed to all). You may get into serious legal trouble for streaming copyrighted videos on FireStick. 

I strongly recommend getting a trusted VPN for FireStick to hide your IP address and protect your online identity.

I use ExpressVPN on all my devices as it is the most secure, fastest, and easy-to-use VPN. It comes with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee, and you get 3 free months with the yearly plan.

Don't miss out on the peace of mind and online security ExpressVPN provides.

How to Use MX Player on FireStick

As I have already said, you would barely need to use MX Player on its own. It is integrated with the streaming apps for video playback.

Most streaming apps come with a built-in media player. However, they give you the option to use an external player for a better experience.

Usually, there are two ways to switch to MX Player while using a streaming app.

The first way is to go to app Settings and change the default player to MX Player.

The other way is to choose the external player before the playback. For instance, you can click the Play icon on the top-right of many apps to choose the desired media player (MX Player in our case).

Alternate Method to Install MX Player on FireStick (ES File Explorer)

If you have already downloaded and installed MX Player through the Downloader app, you may skip this part. It is just an alternate method. 

Besides being a wonderful file manager, ES File Explorer is also a handy sideloading application. It is free and available everywhere. Use the search tool available through the main screen of FireStick to look up for and install ES File Explorer.

Now, follow these steps and install MX Player:

1- On the main screen of ES File Explorer, either click the Downloader option or go to Tools > Download Manager from the menu on the left
