Install YAIP on Fire TV and Android TV

Install YAIP without an app store, using the free Downloader app. Fire TV and Android TV each have their own file and code. Free to use. Player only, no content included.

What you’ll need

A Fire TV with Fire OS 5 or newer, or an Android TV or Google TV with Android 8.0 or newer, connected to the internet.
Your TV remote. You don’t need a computer or phone.

On your TV

1.Install Downloader

Fire TV

On the Home screen, select Find, then Search, and type Downloader.
Select Downloader. Check that the developer is AFTVnews.com.
Select Get or Download and wait until it is installed.

Android TV and Google TV

Open the Google Play Store, or on Google TV select Search, and type Downloader.
Select Downloader. Check that the developer is AFTVnews.com.
Select Install and wait until it is installed.

On your TV

2.Allow Downloader to install apps

Fire TV

Open Settings, then My Fire TV, then Developer options.
No Developer options? Open About in the same menu and select your device name 7 times, until it says you are a developer. Press Back.
Open Install unknown apps and turn Downloader on. On older Fire TVs, turn Apps from Unknown Sources on.

Android TV and Google TV

Android asks for this the first time Downloader installs an app, in step 3.
When it asks, select Settings, turn Downloader on, then press Back.
To do it now instead: open Settings, then Apps, Security & restrictions, Unknown sources, and turn Downloader on. On older Android TVs, Security & restrictions is under Device Preferences.

or address

Code

or address

yaip.duckdns.org/android/apk

Version 1.5.1 · 5.3 MB

Open Downloader. If it asks for access to files or shows a welcome note, select Allow or OK.
Select the address box, type the code or address above and select Go.
Downloader downloads YAIP (about 5 MB). When Android asks, select Install.
When it finishes, select Done. Downloader then offers to delete the downloaded file: select Delete. YAIP stays installed.

Done! Open YAIP from your TV’s apps. Add your own playlist to start watching; YAIP does not provide content.

Updating YAIP

YAIP installed this way doesn’t update by itself. For a new version, repeat step 3 with the same code: it always downloads the newest YAIP, and your profiles, playlists and settings stay.

Need help?

I can’t find Downloader

Search for Downloader again and pick the one by AFTVnews.com. Or open a store link above on your phone or computer, signed in with the same account as the TV, and send it to the TV from there.

Downloader can’t find the code

Check the digits, or type your device’s address from step 3 into the same box instead. Make sure the TV is connected to the internet.

The installation is blocked

Downloader isn’t allowed to install apps yet. Turn it on as in step 2, then repeat step 3.

It says “App not installed”

A copy of YAIP with another signature is installed, such as one from the Amazon Appstore. Uninstall it first. Sign in to Sync before that to keep your profiles and playlists. On Android TV, a copy from Google Play updates without this.

Is the file safe?

Google signs the Android TV file, as it does for Google Play. YAIP signs the Fire TV file. You can compare their SHA-256 checksums below. Install Downloader itself only from AFTVnews.com.

Still stuck? Tell us your TV or device model, its Fire OS or Android version and the message you see.
