Flix Vision – How to Install and Use on Firestick and Android

In this guide, we will discuss what Flix Vision is and how to install and use it. This app can be installed on almost any device, e.g. Firestick, Fire Cube, Nvidia Shield, Android box, Chromecast, phones, tablets, and PCs (via an emulator such as Bluestacks or Nox).

The Amazon Firestick is a popular streaming device that offers excellent value for money and can be jailbroken with minimal effort. It is a perfect choice for anyone looking to cut the cord, regardless of their experience with streaming devices.

What is Flix Vision?

Flix Vision is a brand-new all-in-one application that lets you stream the latest movies, TV shows, anime, live TV channels and sports – all for free! However, one of the best features of Flix Vision is that it’s completely ad-free! It appeared on the scene in January 2023.

The Flix Vision app searches for content by crawling free movie/TV hosting websites.

You can sideload Flix Vision onto almost any Android streaming device, as well as all Firesticks and other Fire TV devices.

Integration with Real Debrid and Trakt is not supported.

Is Flix Vision Legal?

Yes, it certainly is! This app does not host any content and is essentially just a search engine. It is, therefore, 100% legal to install. However, most links scraped from databases and websites are unlikely to hold the proper licencing for broadcasting/distributing the content. In reality, this means you will be unlawfully streaming copyrighted content. Doing so could get you into legal trouble. Accordingly, you may prefer to use this addon with a VPN

How to Use Flix Vision

Browse Categories and Content

From the Flix Vision home screen, your default view is Movies. Tap on the menu option in the top-left to switch your view from Movies to TV Shows, Anime or Live TV.

Browse content by moving down the screen to view thumbnails for movies, TV shows, anime or live TV channels.

You can filter by Genre, Year and sort your results by recently added, or most watched.

Play Movies, TV Shows and Anime

Browse the Movies, TV Shows or Anime categories to find what you want to watch.

  1. Select a movie, TV show or anime and select Play (if applicable, select a season and episode).

On this screen, you’ll also find options to watch a Trailer, add to your Favourites, and view more content from cast members. Tap down the screen to see other titles you may like.

  1. You’ll then see a list of links.
  2. Select a link to start streaming, then sit back and enjoy!

Movies and shows often stream in high-quality, with an option to choose between 1080p and 720p.

I tried a few movies and shows and couldn’t get subtitles to load every time. If you prefer streaming apps with working and easy-to-load subtitles, try BeeTV instead.

However, most of the anime I looked at had embedded English subs and the audio was not dubbed. If you prefer to watch dubbed anime, try Anime Fanz Tube or Funimation.

Playback Controls

If using a Firestick or Fire TV, an integrated mouse pointer is used to control playback.

Unfortunately, this isn’t very easy to control. It’s small, judders and is slow to respond when moving around the screen.

Live TV

  1. Select the Live TV option from the menu on the left-hand side.
  2. You’ll then see a list of countries.
  3. Select a country, then select any channel to start watching.

If you get a Can’t play this link message, it could be that your ISP is blocking you from accessing the live TV stream or the stream is geo-restricted.

I experienced this issue with every channel I tried. However, I connected a VPN to a US server and tried to load the same live TV channels. This time, it worked! The VPN bypassed whatever issue I had, whether it was a block by my ISP or a geo-restriction.

If you also see this error message, try connecting to a VPN.

Can I Use an External Player?

When you select a live TV channel, you can choose which media player to use.

The Flix Vision Player is selected as a default, but you can choose MX Player, VLC or X Player if you prefer.

Unfortunately, you do not get that option for movies and TV shows. Instead, the internal player is used as a default, and there are no settings to change this. If you prefer to use an external player, you can try NovaTV.

The Flix Vision app Settings are basic, with very few customisable options.

Wrapping Up

Flix Vision is still a pretty new app and needs a few improvements to become a solid choice for Firestick and Fire TV users. An option to integrate with an external player would be a welcome addition.
