What is HotPlayer?
HotPlayer is a very fast and lightweight TV app designed for watching live channels and movies. Because it doesn't have a heavy, complicated menu, it loads channels much faster than most other apps, making it perfect for older TVs or standard Amazon Firesticks.
This guide will show you exactly how to install it, including the easy Downloader code 395800 for Firestick, and how to activate your app using your TV's MAC Address.
Reminder: HotPlayer is an empty app — it does not come with any channels. It is just the software you use to watch the subscription provided by your service.

Firestick Installation Steps (Code: 395800)
If you are using an Amazon Firestick, the easiest way to install HotPlayer is by using the free Downloader app. Just follow these steps:
Step 1: Turn on Developer Options
On your Firestick, go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options. Turn on "Apps from Unknown Sources". (If you don't see Developer Options, go to About, and click your "Fire TV Name" 7 times to unlock it).
Step 2: Get the Downloader App
Search for the free "Downloader" app on your Firestick home screen and install it. Open the app and click "Allow" when it asks for storage permission.
Step 3: Type the Code 395800
Click the search box in the Downloader app and type the code 395800. Hit Go. The app will automatically find HotPlayer and start downloading it.
Step 4: Click Install
When the download is done, a window will pop up. Click "Install". Once it's finished, click "Done" and delete the installation file to save space on your TV.
How to Activate HotPlayer
Instead of typing a long username and password with your TV remote, HotPlayer uses your TV's "MAC Address" to connect your channels. Here is how to do it:
1. Find Your MAC Address
Open the HotPlayer app on your TV. Right on the first screen, you will see your "MAC Address" (it looks like this: 00:1A:79:XX:XX:XX). Write it down or take a picture.
2. Send to Support
Send your MAC Address to our support team on WhatsApp or email. We will connect your subscription directly to your TV remotely.
3. Restart and Watch
Once support tells you it is ready, close the app and open it again. The app will update, and you will be able to watch all your live TV and movies.
