This tutorial will show you how to install MX Player on FireStick. Later in the guide, I have also provided step-by-step instructions to install MX player on Android TV Boxes. These methods work well for Fire TV, Fire Cube, Mi Box, NVIDIA SHIELD, Android Smart TV, etc. as well.
But, before proceeding with the installation steps, let us talk a little bit about the MX player.
What is MX Player? MX Player is a video player for FireStick and other Android devices. This app does not provide any content of its own. However, you can use MX Player as the default player with many third-party FireStick apps.
MX Player is usually better than the built-in media players of the streaming apps. Therefore, if the streaming app you use supports MX Player, it is recommended that you install this app and set it as your default player.

You don’t want your Government or ISP monitoring your streaming activities. I strongly recommend getting a VPN right now to make your streaming experience safe.

Follow the steps I have provided below.
Step-1: Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
FireStick prevents the installation of third-party apps by default. So, to install third-party apps such as MX Player, we will need to find a way around this restriction by making some changes in the settings. However, be assured that MX Player is a safe app.
Note: If you have already installed third-party apps before using the Downloader app, you may head straight to the URL section of the tutorial.
Follow the steps below to enable Apps from Unknown Sources:
1. Using your Amazon FireStick Remote, navigate to the Settings tab located at the top panel
2. Scroll to the right until you see My Fire TV option and click on it
3. Select Developer Options
4. As discussed before if you haven’t installed any third-party apps on your device before, Apps from Unknown Sources option would be disabled. Click on it once to enable it.
5. Select Turn ON
Step-2: MX Player Installation steps
MX Player is not a part of the official Amazon Store. That is why it cannot be downloaded directly using the search feature. However, you can sideload the app by downloading MX Player APK through the Downloader app. Here’s how you do it:
1. Head back to the Home screen by pressing the Home button on your Firestick remote. And then go to the Search Icon
2. Type the word Downloader in the search bar. As you start typing, you will see Downloader below in the search results, click on it
3. On the next window, you will see the Downloader app icon, click on it
4. Click on the Download button to install the app on your FireStick
5. Open the Downloader app
6. Click on the URL bar on the right side of the screen
7. Type the following URL to download MX Player on FireStick:
