INDEPENDENT MEDIA PLAYER
About Sidekick Player
Sidekick Player develops standalone media-player software for Fire TV and Android TV. Our product is the app and its software license.
Media-player software. No streaming content.
Sidekick Player is a standalone media player, not a streaming provider. We do not provide, host or sell media content, playlists or streaming subscriptions. Customers connect their own authorized content sources.
What the app does
Sidekick organizes and plays media from authorized sources that you connect. Features include a TV guide, live streaming and on-demand playback, Multiview, household profiles, favorites, watch progress and appearance settings. Availability depends on your device and the content source.
What a license includes
A Sidekick license unlocks app access on up to five activated devices for the chosen period. It does not include media content, playlists, provider credentials or a streaming subscription. Sidekick does not sell or host streaming content. You obtain any required content rights and provider account separately.
How content reaches your TV
The player connects to the provider or playlist you select. Sidekick’s own services handle app configuration, activation, updates, billing and support. Some existing installations have an administrator-configured third-party provider connection; the provider’s account and content remain separate from the Sidekick software license.
Business and support
Sidekick Player is based in Chicago, Illinois, USA. For app help, software licensing or business inquiries, email mysidekickplayer@gmail.com.
