什么是IPTV下载器应用程序

You may have heard about the IPTV downloader app thrown around the IPTV community but never fully understood what it is. 

Well, this guide will cover everything you need to know about it.

What Is The IPTV Downloader App?

The IPTV Downloader app is an Android app whose correct name is “Downloader” app which many IPTV users have come to know it, as IPTV downloader.

The Downloader app will allow you to sideload third-party applications on your Android devices such as Amazon Firesticks, Fire TVs, Smart TVs, Android TV boxes, Android smartphones, and more.

What Is Sideloading?

Sideloading is a process that allows you to simply load apps that are not available on the app store of that device onto your device.

So for example, if you use a Firestick you will be locked into only downloading Android apps from the Amazon app store which is built into the device.

But when you sideload you can add in any Android app or game which is not found in the Amazon app store and the same goes for Android apps and games not found in the Google Play store.

You will notice most IPTV apps are not available natively from the Amazon app store or Google Play store and you will need to sideload them onto your Android-based device. 

This especially holds true for your IPTV provider’s custom Android APK if they have one.

Sideloading apps on Firesticks can also be known as Jailbreaking A Firestick which is a process of opening your Firestick up to much more third-party apps you can install on it.

What Devices Can The IPTV Downloader App Work On?

The IPTV downloader app (Downloader) has been developed by AFTVnews and is constantly being updated with new features and to work cross platforms on as many devices as possible.

The Downloader app currently works on:

• Amazon Firesticks (All models)
• Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, and all FireTV models
• Android Smartphones
• 安卓平板电脑
• Chromecast
• Android TV Boxes
• Raspberry Pi
• Windows PC (Using an Android emulator)
• MacOS (Using an Android emulator)
• Nvidia Sheild (All models)

Unfortunately, the IPTV downloader app will not work with Roku devices due to the Roku software being closed-source firmware and this is the same for most MAG boxes that don’t have Android built into them.

Other Information About IPTV Downloader

As mentioned earlier in this article IPTV Downloader is one of the best apps to use when you want to quickly install third-party apps on your Android-based device.

This will help sideload any application on your device as well as use special codes to easily install applications without the need to type in their full URL into the address bar which can become cumbersome when using remotes.

Another bonus with the IPTV Downloader app is you can use a built-in web browser on the app which allows you to directly download APKs on your Android device or Firestick.

This helps especially when using a Firestick as Amazon Internet does not let you download any file from their web browser.

To download through the built-in downloader web browser you will want to make sure in the Settings you have enabled both Javascript and APK Auto-Install so they are ticked.

最后的想法

Using the IPTV Downloader app is a great way to install third-party IPTV apps that your IPTV provider supplies you with as well as other third-party Android applications and games that you can’t get from your Android device’s app store.
