How To Install Syncler on Firestick and Fire TV

Here is the full guide to installing the latest version of Syncler on your Firestick 4K or Fire TV Cube:

Enable Apps from Unknown Sources

First we need to allow installation of apps from outside the Amazon Appstore:

  1. Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options.
  2. Turn on Apps from Unknown Sources and ADB Debugging.

This setting allows you to install apps downloaded from the web or other sources.

On your Firestick or Fire TV home screen:

  1. Use the search to find the Downloader app.
  2. Select it and click Download.
  3. Once downloaded, open the Downloader app.

The Downloader app provides a quick way to install APKs from their download URLs.

Download the Syncler APK

That covers the full installation process. Next I‘ll provide steps for Android TV devices.

The app is now ready to set up and stream.

Integrating Real-Debrid for Better Streams

While Syncler works great on its own, you can supercharge streaming by integrating a premium account like Real-Debrid (RD).

Here are the steps to connect your Real-Debrid account:

Sign Up for Real-Debrid

First, you‘ll need a Real-Debrid account:

  • Visit real-debrid.com
  • Select a membership (Premium recommended)
  • Enter your payment details

A Premium account unlocks faster speeds and more high-quality streams.

Link Account in Syncler

Inside the Syncler app:

  1. Go to Settings > Accounts > Real-Debrid
  2. Enter your RD username and password
  3. Click Add Account

This authorizes your RD account access through Syncler.

Authenticate Device

When adding your account, Syncler provides a unique code:

  1. Visit real-debrid.com/device
  2. Enter the code from Syncler and click Continue
  3. Sign into your RD account if prompted

This step verifies your device to use your Real-Debrid account. And that‘s it! Syncler can now access your RD premium links.

According to a Syncler developer, integrating Real-Debrid provides:

  • Faster streaming – RD unlocks CDN servers for higher speeds
  • More 4K/1080p links – You‘ll get more high-quality sources
  • Enhanced reliability– Avoid buffering and lag with premium CDNs

So if you want the best experience, Real-Debrid integration is highly recommended. Now let‘s look at adding provider packages.

Installing Provider Packages

The last main setup step is installing a provider package. These addons integrate streaming sources into Syncler.

Here‘s how to add a provider:

Get Authorization Code

Inside Syncler, go to:

  1. Settings > Provider Packages
  2. Choose a package like Express or Kosmos
  3. Note down the authorization code shown

This unique code links your device.

Enter Code on syncler.net

Next, grab your phone, tablet or computer:

  1. Go to syncler.net/install
  2. Enter the code from the previous step
  3. Click Next

This verifies your device to receive the package.

Insert Provider URL

On the next screen:

  1. Enter your chosen provider URL
  2. Click Done

Here are some top packages to try:

  • Express – https://bit.ly/3GHTOan
  • Eternal – https://bit.ly/3jG7x6X
  • Seren – https://bit.ly/3GHVvBq

There are many options so feel free to experiment!

Confirm Installation

Head back to Syncler on your streaming device. It will now detect the new provider.

And that‘s it! You can install multiple providers, or stick with just one.

With Real-Debrid enabled and providers installed, you‘re all set to enjoy unlimited HD streaming.
