Setup guide

Bob Player is a paid app; its activation fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. The Fire TV Stick Lite outputs up to 1080p, so the HD version of each channel is the one to pick; a 4K feed only spends bandwidth here. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

Bob Player on Fire TV Stick Lite: The setup, in order

  • Choose a plan on the pricing page and order on WhatsApp; your server URL, username and password arrive in about 60 seconds.
  • On the Fire TV Stick Lite, open Settings > My Fire TV > About and select the device name seven times. Developer options appears in the menu; you need it only if Bob Player has to come through Downloader.

  • Open Bob Player on the TV and write down the MAC address and device key it shows on the start screen.
  • On the Bob Player website, enter that MAC and device key, add your playlist (M3U link or Xtream details), then restart the app on the TV.
  • Give the first sync a couple of minutes, then hide the groups you never use and favorite the rest.

Settings that help on the Fire TV Stick Lite

Bob Player on Fire TV Stick Lite: Settings that help on the Fire TV Stick Lite

  • Close apps you are not using; sticks have limited memory.
  • An Ethernet adapter is the biggest single upgrade for a stick on weak Wi-Fi.
  • Use the HDMI extender that came in the box if the port is cramped; it helps Wi-Fi reception and heat.
  • Playlist name: give it a clear name on the website so you can tell playlists apart.

The first time you open it

After you add the playlist online and restart Bob Player, the TV shows your playlist name and starts loading channels. The first load on TV hardware can take a couple of minutes; after that, live TV, movies and series open from the home screen.
