In this guide, you will find out how to install & use MV Cast Player on FireStick. The same installation steps can be applied to any other Fire OS device like FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, Fire TV Cube, and more.

 What Is MV Cast Player?

MV Cast Player is a dedicated video playback application. It is similar to MX Player and VLC Player. You can easily use this player to play videos, movies, TV shows, and documentaries on your FireStick.

MV Cast Player has many features that make it an excellent tool for video playback. Firstly, there’s support for subtitles like SRT, ASS, and others. You can even adjust the font and font color of the text.

The app supports every video format, including MP4, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MKV, and more. In addition, there’s easy access to adjust the brightness and volume to your needs.

The app has been free to use since its release in 2017. Furthermore, the user interface is clean and pretty straightforward to use.

Some FireStick apps work only with MV Cast Player, such as OneBox HD.

Since it is an unofficial Amazon app, I will put light on its safety and legitimacy before moving on to how to install MV Cast Player on FireStick.

Is MV Cast Player Safe?

Even though MV Cast Player is unavailable on the Amazon Store, you can still find it on Google Play Store for Android devices. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the app is secure.

However, if you still have concerns, the following is the screenshot from VirusTotal, where I scanned the APK.

So, as can be seen, there are 0 virus or malware files as we expect from an official app. Therefore, I can safely say that you can use the app without any issues.

Is MV Cast Player Legal?

Now, to answer this question, we need to look at a couple of things. Firstly, is the app available in your region? Secondly, are you streaming legal content on it?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then there won’t be anything wrong with using the MV Cast Player. However, since we will be installing its APK, which makes it a third-party app for Amazon, it is better to install a VPN to be completely safe.

A good VPN like ExpressVPN will do the job right to save you from online hacking attacks and protect your data.

Overview of MV Cast Player

Now let’s open up the app. On opening MV Cast Player for the first time, you will be greeted with two pop-ups. First will ask you for access to media files. Allowing it will let the MV Cast Player read and access your videos and other content.

Secondly, allow the app to modify system settings. Once you permit both, the home screen of the player will appear.

You will see a not-so-dynamic appearance with simple instructions. There will be two menu bars at the top—one in blue and the other in white. The former has the Menu tab and the Home button on the top left corner. The search bar for searching purposes and the three dots icon for sorting the content are in the top right corner.

The white bar has Folders, Videos, and Recent tabs. In the Folders section, you can make folders of the content you would like. For instance, you can make a folder that contains all the sports videos. On the other hand, the Videos section lets you organize videos according to your choice. It’s up to you how you want them to appear in different categories.

The last content you watch will show up in the Recent tabs. If you accidentally close a video, you can always access it here. You can sort the content according to your preference using the sort menu. Arrange the videos by size, name, date added, or other options.

Clicking on the Menu option (three horizontal lines) on the left will open up the following options.

• Open URL
• Phone Memory
• Favorite Videos
• Rate App
• Share App
• Contact Us
• More Apps
• About

Utilize the Open URL tab to paste the video URL from any application and directly play it. It can be any online video. Secondly, if you want to play the video from your storage, click on the Phone Memory tab and select the video from the folder.

Add the videos you often watch to the Favorite Videos category for easy access. Rate App and Share App options are evident by the name. In case of any issue, go to the Contact Us tab to report it. That’s how easy it is to use MV Cast Player.
