Hi,
Not sure if it's updated online, but the new firestick doesn't allow sideloading nor does it have IPTV smarters pro on the store.
I installed it on my Roku 4k stick but, didn't get a chance to fully check it out before the trial expired.
Questions for anyone who's tried it on Roku stick before I buy the app:
1) Does it remember playback position ?
2) Does it autoplay next episode ?
3) Do these above features depend on IPTV provider's settings ? I mean kinda works on other apps I tried so probably not settings by the provider right ?

Please help !
Thank you,
Kay

Hi,

I would recommend staying with the Firestick, However, you need to Avoid Select version as it has limited OS, not allowing sideloads.

You can choose 4K and 4K MAX versions which have no limitations.

I know for a fact that 4K and 4KMAX can be side-loaded.

About your questions, if you sideload IPTV Smarters Pro latest version, it does have all those features.

If you need help about side-loading process on Roku Stick, check this out.

Hi,
Thank you again for the prompt response. The link you sent just shows me google search on developer mode.
I'm not as familiar with some of this. Can you please help provide specific instructions for Roku stick ?
If I side load, is it free ?
Thanks again sooooo much ! Do you have a DM I could communicate with you?

Thanks,
Link didn’t have side loading info… it had a generic google search info. 1) do u have a guide for Roku specific side loading ?
2) I meant is the iptv smartera pro free after I activate developer mode ?
3)) Last question: do u know if those features work if I buy that from the Roku store ?
Thanks again !!!

Hi,
I think I'm getting closer !
Once I can access Roku Application Developer Installer, which section of the guide of the link you shared can I use to sideload IPTV smarters pro ?
Again, thank you sooooo much. You've been super helpful. I'm hoping to get all this installed today.

Once the developer mode on your Ruko stick is enabled, go to home screen, go to search and install Downloader application.
Then open Downloader and while the selection on the left column is HOME, in the middle search field type in this downloader code and it will 5812853 download and install IPTV Smarters Pro latest version.

The rest of steps should be easy but ask away if you get into any bumps.

Hi,
Guide is a bit older I think. I didn't have to download the package to my computer..
Only option to download using a code was under streaming store section and nothing under managed app or under devloper

Hate Roku devices to be honest and havent had one available to me to run this test.
Also checkout this guide and if not working, then you're gonna have to try Fires Stick 4K MAX which I confirm is working without issues.

I can confirm that Firestick 4K and 4K MAX procedure for jail-breaking is the same, see this.

Steps
Firstly you need downloader
Go to the Firestick home screen
Select the Search icon in the menu bar
Type in Downloader
Choose and install Downloader (should be orange) app from the suggestions
Click Open when the installation is complete
Go to the Fire TV Stick's settings page
Select My Fire TV
Go to Developer Options Note: If you do not see Developer Options, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About. Now, select Fire TV Stick and click it 7 times to enable Developer Options.
Turn Apps from Unknown Sources to ON
Accept the warning about installing external apps
Go to downloader and download our app using the codes above
Simply enter your details
