Everything you need to install, set up, and get the most out of MIRA Player.

Standard install (Android TV / Google TV)

  1. Open the Google Play Store on the box and install MIRA Player, or open this link on your phone and send it to the TV: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mira.player.tv. New-app search can lag — the direct link always works.

  2. No Play Store on the box? Install Downloader, open it, and enter miraplayer.tv/apk.

  3. Open MIRA Player, sign in with your email, and select your profile. Connect sources once on the web if you have not already.

Web · iPhone · iPad

No install. This is the Apple path until native iPhone / Apple TV apps ship.

  1. Open miraplayer.tv/app in any modern browser, including Safari on iPhone and iPad.

  2. Sign in with the same account you used at checkout. The login link is emailed or texted after Stripe.

  3. Connect sources once here. Continue Watching follows you to the TV app and desktop.

Playback depends on the browser, device, network, and source. Native iOS / Apple TV / Roku apps are coming — they are not live.

Mac · Linux · Windows

Same account as TV and web. Downloads: /get.

  1. Mac (Apple Silicon): download the signed, notarized DMG. Open it, drag to Applications, launch. Gatekeeper should show Developer ID / Notarized. Intel Mac still uses the unsigned zip.

  2. Linux: download the x64 AppImage, chmod +x, then run it. Play-tested.

  3. Windows: unzip and run MIRA Player.exe. SmartScreen will warn once because the zip is unsigned. More info → Run anyway.

Fire Stick Installation

Fire Stick requires one extra step to allow sideloaded apps.

Note: Amazon’s newest Vega OS Fire TV devices block sideloading. Use an older Fire OS stick, or a Google TV / Android TV box (onn ~$20 is the easy path). Details: /devices/.

  1. Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options.

  2. Turn on Install Unknown Apps. Then find Downloader in the list and enable it.

  3. Go back to your home screen and find Downloader in the app store. Install it if you haven't already.

  4. Open Downloader and enter this URL exactly: miraplayer.tv/apk (redirects to the latest APK. Do not use /dl alone.)

  5. Download the APK, tap Install when prompted, then tap Open when it finishes.

  6. Sign in with your MIRA Player account credentials.

Can't find Developer Options? On older Fire Sticks: Settings → Device → Developer Options.

Connect Your Sources

Sources are how MIRA Player gets your content. You add them once on the website — they sync to every device automatically.

MIRA Player Sources page — connect IPTV (Xtream Codes), TorBox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, Debrid-Link, or a Stremio add-on See it: the Sources page with every source type MIRA connects — full connect walkthrough

TorBox (easiest all-in-one debrid path)

  1. Go to torbox.app/settings (signed in), copy your API key.

  2. Go to miraplayer.tv/account → Sources → TorBox and paste the key.

  3. Click Save. Your TV app and web player use TorBox on the next resolve.

What is TorBox? TorBox is a debrid service — it caches files on high-speed servers so movies and shows can stream without torrenting from your home connection. Dedicated page: Connect TorBox. Deep guide: TorBox setup guide.

Other debrid services (same pattern)

Prefer a different debrid? Paste that provider's API key the same way on the account page. Dedicated setup pages:

Tip: MIRA never sells debrid subscriptions — you bring your own.

IPTV Provider (Live TV + VOD)

  1. Get your Xtream Codes credentials from your IPTV provider — you'll need the server URL, username, and password.

  2. Go to miraplayer.tv/account and enter them in the IPTV section.

  3. Click Test to confirm they work, then Save.

Don't have an IPTV provider? Any Xtream Codes or M3U/M3U8 playlist you already pay for works. Dedicated page: Connect IPTV. We do not sell or bundle playlists.

Stremio add-on

Optional. A Stremio add-on URL becomes one more source in the same player. Setup:

Movies & Shows

Browse and play from a catalog powered by MIRA's own catalog and semantic engine, resolved through your connected sources.

  1. From the home screen, browse the Movies or Shows tab, or use Search.

  2. Select a title to open the detail page. Press Play to start automatically, or select a source if you want to choose the quality manually.

  3. MIRA Player tries TorBox first (highest quality), then falls back to your IPTV VOD library if TorBox doesn't have the file.

  4. Your watch progress saves automatically. Come back later and tap Continue Watching to pick up where you left off.

Live TV

Browse your IPTV provider's full channel lineup, organized by category.

  1. Select Live TV from the bottom navigation bar.

  2. Browse channels by category (Sports, News, Movies, etc.). Use the category tabs at the top to filter.

  3. Press a channel to start watching. The player shows the current and next program in the header.

  4. Open the Guide to see the full EPG (Electronic Program Guide) with upcoming shows.

Favorite channels: Press and hold a channel to add it to your Favorites. Favorites appear at the top of the channel list for quick access.

Watchlist & History

Keep track of what you want to watch and what you've already seen.

  1. Save to My Stuff — On any detail page, press the bookmark icon to add the title to your watchlist. Access it from the home screen under My Stuff.

  2. Continue Watching — Titles you've started appear on your home screen. MIRA resumes from the exact point you left off.

  3. History — Completed titles and recently watched content appear in the History section of the app. Each profile has its own watch history.

Family Profiles

One MIRA Player account supports multiple family members, each with their own watch history and watchlist.

  1. When you open the app, you'll see the profile picker. Select your profile or tap Add Profile.

  2. Each profile has its own Continue Watching, My Stuff, and watch history — completely separate from other profiles.

  3. Kids mode — Enable Kids mode on a profile to get a simplified interface and restrict adult content. Set a PIN under Settings → Parental Controls.

Settings

Customize MIRA Player from the Settings screen (accessible from the bottom nav bar).

  • Content Language — Pick your preferred audio language (English, Spanish, French, etc.). MIRA Player will always try to serve content in your language first.
  • Parental Controls — Set a PIN to lock specific content categories. Kids mode restricts navigation to family-friendly content.
  • My Services — Enable the streaming apps you already subscribe to so MIRA can show a shortcut on the detail page that deep-launches the right app directly. MIRA points you to it; your own subscription does the playing.
  • Motion — Enable or disable animated transitions if you prefer a static interface.

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Why is it buffering?
If you're using TorBox, check your internet speed and your TorBox plan. MIRA Player tries to play at the highest quality your connection supports. If buffering persists, try pressing the source button in the player to switch to a different version. If your IPTV fallback is playing, it may take 10–15 seconds to fully start — that's normal for IPTV streams.
Why is the audio in a foreign language?
Go to Settings → Content Language and select English (or your preferred language). The app will then prioritize English audio tracks when they're available. If an IPTV stream only has one language, you'll hear that language regardless of this setting.
A movie or show says "no source found."
This usually means TorBox doesn't have the file cached and your IPTV VOD library doesn't have it either. Try again in a few minutes — TorBox may need time to index a newly released title. For older or niche content, it may simply not be available from your connected sources.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Go to miraplayer.tv/account and click Manage subscription. This opens the Stripe billing portal where you can cancel at any time. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.
Can multiple people use the same account?
Yes — one account supports multiple family members through profiles. Each person gets their own watch history, watchlist, and continue watching. Just add profiles at the profile selection screen when you open the app.
Live TV channels aren't loading.
First, check that your IPTV credentials are saved and valid at miraplayer.tv/account. IPTV stream links reset periodically — if channels suddenly stop working, they usually recover within a few hours. Try a different category to see if only some channels are affected. If the issue persists, contact your IPTV provider.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes, in Safari (or any modern browser) at miraplayer.tv/app. There is no native iPhone or Apple TV app yet. Connect sources on the web. Playback depends on the browser and source.
How do I get the Mac or Linux app?
Go to miraplayer.tv/get. Mac Apple Silicon is a signed, notarized DMG. Linux is an AppImage. Windows is an unsigned zip. Same login as TV and web.
I paid but have nothing to watch.
MIRA is the player, not the source. Open miraplayer.tv/app → Sources and connect IPTV or debrid you already pay for. Until a source is connected, Home stays empty. We host nothing.
I forgot my password.
Use the sign-in page to request a login link, or email [email protected] — we answer every email, usually within one business day.
The app won't install on my Fire Stick.
Make sure you've enabled Install Unknown Apps for Downloader in Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options. If the install starts but fails, try downloading again — file transfers occasionally get corrupted. If you see an error about the package installer, restart your Fire Stick and try again.
