Ok all of my Fire people. I've copied a good bit of my original how-to and will insert critical steps to assist others from spending hours of loading and testing.
Well, I 'll tell you what i did. I'm assuming that most folk know how to sideload the fire stick, but if not, use my best friend google to locate files identified and I'll go ahead and include those instructions for an all-in-one set of instructions.
You will need the following to successfully load your fire tv stick with the STB Emulator:
1) Fire TV Stick - obviously
2)A computer on the same network with the firestick
3)A bluetooth device capable of emulating a mouse - I'm using my old Vizio tablet.
4)Beverage of choice *optional*
Files needed (use my best friend google to locate them)
1) adbfire115 (too many problems with any other versions)
2)STB Emulator 06.11.apk (i am using the pro version)
3)MX Player 1.7.37.apk (use the latest......)
4)WuKong Remote (needed later when applying initial settings in STB Emulator with bluetooth mouse emulator)
Preparing the Fire TV Stick for sideloading:
Fire stick should be installed to an HDMI port on the TV - you will have to allow the introduction video to play before you proceed with steps that follow.
1)Scroll down to settings on the firestick and then over to system>developer options and then hit enter.
2)Change ADB debugging from off to on and do the same for Apps from Unknown Sources and then hit the back button - curved arrow button on the remote that came with the firestick - once and then move up to "about" and hit enter.
3)Move down to "network" and write down the IP Address that's assigned to the firestick. You can hit the back button until you're back at the home screen and sit your remote down for now.
At you Computer:
1)Extract adbfire, MX Player.apk, and STB Emulator.apk that you downloaded to desktop. Makes it easy to access these files during sideloads.
2)In the adbfire folder, double click on the adbfire.exe file to launch the app. A message will pop-up about the latest version, but just hit no for now.
3)In the "Device address" field, input the IP address that you wrote down ealier, as instructed. If you forgot to write the address down, drink some of your beverage of choice and head back to the tv and complete my first set of instructions.
4)Hit connect and you should see the status at the bottom of the app change from "device not connected to "device connected".
5)Hit the "Install APK" button and then schroll up or down to desktop - remember this is where we placed our downloaded documents.
6)Choose the STB Emulator.apk file and hit ok to start the sideload process. It will take a few seconds and should alert you when successfully installed.
7)Hit the :Install APK" button again and select the MX Player.apk. We have successfully loaded the necessary files.
At the Mouse Emulator (Vizio tablet for me)
1) Go to the google play store and download WuKong Remote to your device.
2) Sit the device aside, but not too far.
Back to the tv and firestick menu:
1)Scroll back down to settings>then to applications>and then to manage all installed applications.
2)Scroll down to STB Emulator and hit enter>launch application. Allow it load - beverage time.
3)Grab that tablet that you loaded WuKong on and hit the "search for devices" button and allow the firestick to be discovered. It came back listed as "smart TV" in my search.
4)There are options at the top of the WuKong app on the tablet to allow toggling between classical module, gestures module, mouse module, and keyboard module. Choose mouse module.
old method
5)Move the cursor near the top right of the screen near where the time and date is located and tap once and a four icons should appear.
new method
5)Use fire tv/stick remote and hit the "three line button". A nonselectable menu will appear that you can only read if up close to the tv. Use your mouse module to place the cursor over the settings option in this nonselectable menu and tap the screen to select settings. I'm calling it nonselectable because you will not be able to select any items with the fire tv/stick remote.
6) ***removed this step****
7)Once I've selected that settings button, I use the remote that came with the firestick to enter everything else, so sit that tablet down and use your firestick remote.
8)Scroll down to profiles>test portal>STB Model and hit enter. It should be defaulted to MAG 250, but if not, select it.
9)Next go to portal settings>portal URL>and hit enter and a keyboard will pop-up.
10)Enter the http://11.iptvprivateserver.tv/ or http://11.iptvrocket.tv> depending on your donation type and then next and then ok.
11)Hit back button and then go to screen resolution and make certain that it's set to what you prefer. I left it at 1280X720.
12)Go to MAC-address and hit enter. Again hit enter and a keyboard will appear. Change the last six digits of that MAC address to something that you probably could remember later if needed. I used the last six of my social, so it should look like this - 00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX. Of course, the x's are the six numbers that you choose. Hit ok and get that beverage of choice again.
12a)This is a good time to go to the appropriate donation checker page to verify your donations and link your MAC addresses to those donations.
13)Exit out by hitting the back button.
14)While on the main screen and on the TV icon in STB Emulator, hit the button on the firestick remote that looks like three lines. A menu should appear with exit, profile, mediaplayer, subtitles, and audio language as your choices.
15)Go to mediaplayer>scroll down to external player and hit enter. An information box will pop-up to tell you that you must restart your application in order for the settings to apply. Go ahead and hit "exit" and you can hit the home button (button that looks like a house on the firestick remote) then go to settings>applications>manage all installed applications. Scroll down to STB Emulator and launch it.
16)Once loaded, you should be on the main screen on the TV icon. Select all and get that beverage of choice.
17)ENJOY!!!!
update: When you select a station for the first time, a menu will pop-up asking you to choose an app to stream the video. Select MX Player and choose "always".
