How to Install Stremium App on Firestick & Android TV (2026)

What Is Stremium?

Stremium is an IPTV aggregator and media player designed for Fire TV and Android TV. Unlike pure IPTV players that only load playlist files, Stremium positions itself as an all-in-one live TV hub — it can accept M3U playlists and some supported third-party services, presenting them all in a unified guide-like interface.

One of Stremium's standout features is its DVR-like recording capability, which allows you to record live streams to a network-attached storage device (NAS) or cloud storage. This is relatively uncommon for free IPTV players and gives Stremium a distinct edge over simpler apps.

The app has a clean, grid-based EPG interface reminiscent of a cable TV guide, with programme tiles arranged by channel and time slot. Navigation is designed for remote control use, making it comfortable on Firestick without a keyboard or mouse.

How to Install Stremium on Firestick

Stremium is not available on the Amazon App Store, so you need to sideload the APK using the Downloader app. This takes about three minutes.

1. Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options on your Firestick.
2. Turn on Apps from Unknown Sources.
3. Open the Amazon App Store and search for Downloader. Install the app by AFTVnews.
4. Open Downloader and tap the URL field. Enter the Stremium APK download URL (search "Stremium APK download" on your phone to get the latest URL).
5. Tap Go to download the file.
6. Once downloaded, tap Install when the installer appears.
7. Tap Done. Stremium will now appear in your Firestick apps list.

How to Install Stremium on Android TV

On Android TV devices with Google Play access, you may find Stremium listed directly in the Play Store. If not, use the same APK sideload method via Downloader from the Play Store.

1. Open Google Play Store and search for Stremium.
2. If available, tap Install and proceed directly to setup.
3. If not listed, install Downloader from the Play Store and follow the same APK installation steps as Firestick above.

How to Add TVNado IPTV to Stremium

Stremium connects to TVNado via M3U playlist URL. Your TVNado M3U URL is provided along with your other credentials when you subscribe to a TVNado plan. If you only have Xtream Codes credentials (Server URL, Username, Password), you can convert them to an M3U URL — contact TVNado support via WhatsApp to get your M3U link.

1. Open Stremium and navigate to Settings or Add Source.
2. Select M3U Playlist or Custom Playlist.
3. Paste your TVNado M3U URL into the URL field.
4. Give the playlist a name (e.g., "TVNado") and tap Save or Add.
5. Stremium will scan the playlist and populate your channel guide. Depending on playlist size, this may take 30–60 seconds.
6. Navigate to the Live TV section to browse your channels in the EPG grid view.

Stremium Features

• EPG Guide: TV guide-style grid showing current and upcoming programmes.
• DVR Recording: Record live TV streams to NAS or supported cloud storage.
• M3U Support: Accepts M3U playlist URLs from any IPTV provider.
• Channel search: Find channels by name quickly without scrolling.
• Favourites: Mark channels for fast access.
• Free to download: The core player costs nothing; check the current listing for any paid add-ons such as recording storage.

Stremium's limitations include no native Xtream Codes support (M3U only), less polished UI than TiviMate, and more limited VOD organization than dedicated Xtream Codes players. For most casual Firestick users, these are acceptable trade-offs for a free app.

How Do You Turn Xtream Codes Details Into an M3U Link?

Most Xtream Codes servers also publish the same account as an M3U playlist, at a predictable address built from your server URL, username and password. If you have those three details, you can usually build the link yourself in a minute:

http://SERVER:PORT/get.php?username=USER&password=PASS&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

1. Replace SERVER:PORT with the server URL exactly as sent, without a trailing slash.
2. Replace USER and PASS with your username and password, keeping capital letters as they are.
3. Paste the finished link into a browser on your phone first. If a file starts downloading, the link works; if you see an error page, check the details or ask your provider for the M3U link directly.
4. Some players handle output=m3u8 (HLS) better than output=ts. If channels open but stutter in Stremium, try the other value.

Our Xtream Codes setup guide explains the login format in more detail, including why the port number matters.

Why Is the Stremium Guide Empty, and How Do You Fix It?

An M3U playlist carries the channel list, not the programme guide, so Stremium needs a separate XMLTV guide link before the grid fills in. On Xtream Codes servers it usually sits at the same address with a different file name:

http://SERVER:PORT/xmltv.php?username=USER&password=PASS

1. Find the EPG or guide source option in Stremium's playlist settings and paste the XMLTV link.
2. Give it a few minutes: a full guide for a large playlist is a big file, and older Firesticks are slow to parse it.
3. If most channels fill in but a few stay blank, those channels are not matched to guide data at the provider's end; that is not something the app can fix.

For the background on how guide data is matched to channels, see what an EPG is and how IPTV guides work.

What Do You Need to Record With Stremium?

You need somewhere for the recordings to go, because a Firestick's own storage fills up after very little video. Set up the destination before you schedule anything:

• A NAS or shared folder on your home network: point Stremium at the network path and test with a five-minute recording first.
• Cloud storage, where your version of the app supports it: check the storage allowance before recording a whole season.
• Spare connections: a recording counts as a stream. Recording one channel while watching another needs a plan that allows two connections at once.

If recording is the main reason you are choosing a player, compare the options in our guide to recording IPTV and the IPTV DVR explainer before committing to one.

Is Stremium the Right Player for Your Setup?

Stremium fits viewers who think in terms of a TV guide grid and want to record, and who are happy working with M3U links. It is a poorer fit if you mostly browse movies and series, or if you only have an Xtream Codes login and do not want to build links by hand.

• Choose Stremium for a cable-style guide and recording to your own storage.
• Choose TiviMate if the guide is the centre of how you watch and you want catch-up and multi-view; our TiviMate review covers what the paid upgrade unlocks.
• Choose IPTV Smarters Pro if you want a free player that takes an Xtream Codes login directly and organises VOD into film and series sections.

Because your subscription is separate from the player, you can install two of them side by side and keep whichever you prefer after a week.
