How do I install FireAnime on Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV?

Check the system on the device running the app#

Use the FireAnime TV APK on Android TV, Google TV or a Fire OS device that permits Android APK installation. A Fire TV Stick plugged into an LG television uses the stick's system, not the LG webOS package.

An Apple TV needs Apple TV setup; an LG television running the app itself needs webOS setup. Not every product carrying the Fire TV name supports sideloaded APKs. If your device blocks them or uses a non-Android system, this method is not supported.

Install directly on the television#

Android TV or Google TV

1. In the TV's app store, install Downloader by AFTVnews, a tool for opening a website and saving its APK. Check the developer's official app page for the correct listing.
2. Open Downloader on the TV, enter https://fireani.me/app-tv in its address field and open the page.
3. Go to the Android TV APK download section and choose Direct APK Download. Move Downloader's cursor with the directional buttons and select with the remote's centre button.
4. If the installer is blocked, follow its settings prompt and allow Install unknown apps for Downloader only. On many devices this is under Settings → Apps → Special app access; manufacturer menus vary.
5. Return to Downloader. Open the completed APK from Files if the installer did not reopen, then choose Install → Open.

Fire TV / Fire TV Stick with Fire OS

1. Install Downloader by AFTVnews from the Amazon Appstore on the Fire TV.
2. Open Settings → My Fire TV (or Device & Software) → Developer options. Enable Install unknown apps for Downloader, or the older Apps from Unknown Sources setting if that is what the device provides.
3. If Developer options is hidden, Amazon documents selecting the device name under About seven times on applicable Fire OS versions, then returning one screen. Do not assume this enables APK support on an incompatible model. Amazon device instructions
4. In Downloader, open https://fireani.me/app-tv, choose the Android TV APK → Direct APK Download, then install it. You do not need to enable ADB debugging for this browser-based method.
5. After installation, disable the temporary unknown-app installation permission if no longer needed.

Open FireAnime and sign in#

Launch FireAnime from the TV's app list. Direction buttons move the highlighted selection; OK/Select opens it and Back returns. Open an anime, season and episode to test playback.

For your account library, use the official app's QR/code sign-in. For updates, use Settings → App → Check for Updates. Both are separate from installing Downloader.

If you cannot get past a step#

• The webpage does not work in Downloader: Try its browser setting for JavaScript and reload the trusted FireAnime page. See Downloader's browser instructions.
• The APK downloaded to your phone: It is still on your phone. Open the download page in Downloader on the television, or use a trusted device-to-device transfer method you already have configured.
• The app looks like a phone interface: Check that you used the TV page, not the Android phone download.
• The package is blocked or conflicts with an existing install: Do not disable security protections or erase the installed app as a first step. Check the device OS/package and use support.
• You want offline episodes: The official TV app streams online; it has no offline library. See download-capable devices.
