How to Install STBEmu Pro on FireStick
As I mentioned, STBEmu Pro is unavailable on the Amazon App Store. For this reason, you can’t install it directly on your FireStick. Instead, you need to sideload the APK file using the Downloader app, then install the app on FireStick.
I’ll divide the installation process into two parts: preparing your FireStick to download a third-party app and sideloading the app through the Downloader app.
Part 1: Prepare Your FireStick To Download STBEmu Pro
The first step is to install the Downloader app. You can use the Find > Search option on the home screen to get Downloader from the Amazon Store.
The second step is to enable Downloader for sideloading. By default, your FireStick does not allow the installation of third-party apps. Therefore, you need to tweak some settings to allow your FireStick to install a third-party app. This factor brings us to the second step, allowing installation from unknown sources. To do this, navigate to the Developer options under Settings and turn on Apps from Unknown Sources.
Follow our guide on how to install Downloader and how to enable it for sideloading.
If you already have the Downloader app on your FireStick and the settings set to allow installation from unknown sources, skip to part 2.
Part 2: Install STBEmu Pro on Your FireStick
Follow the below steps to sideload STBEmu Pro on your FireStick:
1. On your FireStick home screen, click My Apps.
2. Navigate to the Downloader app and click on it.
3. Click the URL box.
4. Enter the following URL: firesticktricks.com/stbe and click Go, then wait a few moments for the APK file to download.
Note: Kindly note that FireStickTricks.com doesn’t host this APK. The URL points to an external source.
5. Click Install.
6. Click Done.
7. Click Delete to remove the APK file from your FireStick.
8. Click Delete again to confirm the previous action.
This is how you install STBEmu Pro on FireStick.
How to Use STBEmu Pro on FireStick
STBEmu Pro has a simple user interface that is easy to navigate. You’ll see three options when you launch the app: Configure application, Restore Settings, and Close. Press the Configure application option to configure the app to run your portal.
Clicking Configure application leads you to a new menu with four sections. These sections are Common settings, Configure keymaps, Profiles, and About. The Common Settings sub-menu lets you customize several aspects of the app, such as App language, UI visibility time, screen orientation, navigation bar, overlay buttons, and more.
To configure the app for your IPTV portal, open Settings, then configure your profile. You can configure more than one profile. After adding your profile, customize the settings, including the audio language, aspect ratio, and subtitles.
If you want to change your settings and profile data after configuration, click on the four horizontal lines at the top right corner of the home screen. A menu appears containing four sections to customize your app settings and streaming experience further. You can change your profile data, reload the portal, sort the keymaps or restore default settings from this menu.
If you intend to use STBEmu Pro frequently, I recommend adding an app shortcut to your FireStick home screen. If you’d like help adding STBEmuPro shortcut to your device’s home screen, follow our guide to creating app shortcuts on FireStick.
