GOOD TO KNOW
Sidekick Player questions, answered.
Is Sidekick a streaming service?
No. Sidekick Player is independent media-player software. We do not provide, host or sell media content, playlists or streaming subscriptions. Sidekick plays content from a provider account or playlist you supply. You need permission to access that content. Channel availability and streaming quality depend on your provider.
Can I connect my own content provider?
Yes. Enter your Sidekick activation code, select Add your provider, then choose Xtream Codes or M3U URL. Use the server address and login details or playlist URL supplied by your provider. Personal software licenses cover up to five activated devices; your provider sets its stream limit. See the software-license prices.
Does Sidekick Player have a TV guide?
Yes. Sidekick displays an electronic program guide (EPG) using guide data from your own provider or configured source. Use the app’s EPG settings to review update options or refresh the guide. Listings depend on the data your source supplies. See TV guide troubleshooting.
Which devices can I use?
The TV release is designed for compatible Fire TV Stick and Android TV devices that support Android APK installation and a remote. Multiview performance also depends on your device, network and provider’s simultaneous-stream allowance. Separate Android phone/tablet 0.3.4 and Mac 0.3.2 previews are available for testing. The Mac preview requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. These previews are separate downloads; the TV download does not install an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Windows app.
How do I update the app?
Open Settings → App updates → Check for updates. Follow the download and installation prompts. Install the update over your existing Sidekick app to preserve its data.
Can someone help me get started?
Absolutely. See the installation guide or email mysidekickplayer@gmail.com with your device model and the step you need help with.
