Installing an external player

1. Go to settings and select External players.  

2. Check mark the player you wish to add externally.  We recommend VLC.  

3. Once you select a title to watch you'll get a pop-up asking if you want to install the external player. Select OK.

4. You'll come to a new screen where it will ask you if you want to continue to the Amazon Appstore.  Click on continue. 

5. This will automatically bring you to the player you've chosen on the Appstore. In this example VLC Player.  Now press the select button to get the app.  

6. After installing you'll be asked if you want to open the app. DO NOT open the app. 

 

7. Instead press the back button on the remote and you'll be taken back to the title you previously selected. 

 

8. Once you click on watch now you'll get a pop-up asking for permission to access media and files. Make sure you press on allow or the player will not work. 

 

9. Now your movie or series should start to play.
