1. Enable Apps from Unknown Sources

Because Perfect Player is a third-party application, Firestick will not install it unless you allow sideloading.

Steps:

• Go to Settings
• Select My Fire TV
• Open Developer Options
• Turn Apps from Unknown Sources → ON

Without this step, the APK will fail to install.

2. Install the Downloader App

Downloader is the official Firestick tool used to install external apps safely.

Steps:

• From Home → Find
• Tap Search
• Type: Downloader
• Select the orange app → Install
• Open it and click Allow

Now you’re ready to download the Perfect Player APK.

3. Download & Install Perfect Player IPTV

Perfect Player must be installed manually using an APK link.

Steps:

1. Open Downloader
2. Click the URL box
3. Enter the Perfect Player APK link (from a trusted source)
4. Press Go
5. Wait for the download to finish
6. Click Install
7. Press Done
8. Delete the APK file to save storage

Perfect Player will appear in your Firestick apps list.

4. Add Your IPTV Playlist (M3U URL)

To load channels, you must add your playlist link from your IPTV provider.

Steps:

• Open Perfect Player IPTV
• Tap Settings (gear icon)
• Select General
• Tap Playlist
• Enter M3U URL
• Type a name (example: “My IPTV”)
• Click OK

Your channel list will load automatically.

5. Add the EPG XMLTV Guide (Optional but Useful)

Adding the XMLTV link makes your Firestick show a full program guide including timings and schedules.

Steps:

• Go to Settings
• Tap EPG
• Choose Add EPG URL
• Paste the XMLTV link given by your IPTV provider
• Select OK

It may take 1–3 minutes to load fully.

6. Improve Playback for Smooth Streaming

Perfect Player provides three decoder options:

• Auto
• Hardware
• Software

For most users, Auto gives the best performance.

Recommended Settings:

• Go to Settings
• Select Playback
• Set Decoder → Auto
• Increase Buffer Size → 4 to 10 seconds

This reduces buffering and improves channel switching speed.

7. Backup Your Settings (Optional)

If you don’t want to re-add playlists later, you can back up everything.

Steps:

• Go to Settings → Defaults
• Select Export Settings

You can restore it anytime in one click.
