How To Install & Use Syncler on Firestick/Android TV (2024)

You can use both. You say you have issues with RD. So. Can you elaborate?
When RD purged their system, it obviously provided less cached links.

I have both RD and PM and they both work fine.

You may already have done so, but if not, make sure you have the latest versions of Syncler:
Stable 1.3.9.2
Beta: 0.45

You can update these through installer.

Dak, thank you for your reply. As for elaboration, I’ll search for a movie and when it finds the one I want, I play it and every line comes up FAILED. This happens maybe 3 out of 5 times.

Speaking of the latest revision of Syncler, I’m using the Stable version. Do you see any reason for moving to the new 2.0 Beta version?

Your thoughts?

Hi

The failed to play is something that happens on certain links for movies/shows occasionally.

That is probably because:

New movie/ show
The movie/ show has no cached links.
It also depends upon the packages you have installed. And of course, it is is recommended to install only 1 x Express and 1 x Kosmos package.
It could also be the size of file you are attempting to stream, and whether your device is capable of streaming it, particulary a large file and the codec involved. If that’s the case, try streaming a lower sized file.

If you are happy with those pkgs, may i suggest that the periodic update of packages, is something you should do.

The more people that add a magnet for that broken link to RD, the more links that will appear for everyone.

As far as Stable goes vs beta, i would hold off from beta, until the dev gets all the bugs ironed out.

He has worked tirelessly over the past few months, and I’m sure is having a well deserved break

Since the RD incident, he has fixed it on both versions as best he can. Just check that you are using version 1.3.9.2

To try and prevent dead links appearing, do the following:

Settings>accounts >RD> scroll down and disable " enable hosters ".

Eventually any dead links will at some stage be resolved by RD.

Thank you, Dak! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to reply! Have a great week.

You’re welcome. Same to you

Has anyone had the “no results” issue with recent versions? Let me elaborate.

On some occasions, when finishing watching an episode - syncler auto loads/lists sources for the next episode. Instead, I’ve been getting “No Results”.

If I exit syncler and fire it up again, go to the same program - it scrapes and lists sources fine. I may (or may not) get the same issue at the next episode.

Exit and restart fixes the problem - but repeats of the problem happens randomly.

I’ve cleared cache. I refreshed providers. I’ve rebooted device. It’s not happening on just one device. It does it on my primary and secondary devices.

Only changes were upgrading to versions 1.3.8.2 and 1.3.9.2.

Maybe a bug attached to recent updates?

So i have a 4k super max firestick . Syncler + subscription, and premiumize.me subscription. I am getting audio but no video on any show or movie i try to watch . Any ideas . I also have surfshark VPN , AT&T fiber 1000 mbps speed . Any help would be appreciated . Im using Squizzle package .

itzme · 2025-04-03T00:09:45.423Z

@ROGOD5150 not sure if this has anything to do with your problem but … I’ve read that Squizzle is no longer maintained…

ROGOD5150 · 2025-04-03T00:12:47.716Z

Hmmmm when did that start ? I have it on 2 other firesticks and both of those are working fine . I have the ssme setup on all 3 firesticks.

itzme · 2025-04-03T00:15:58.801Z

Not sure…I did a search for Squizzle package and that’s what came up…

mthr1 · 2025-04-03T03:29:15.427Z

This could be a player codec issue. Change your default player in the Syncler settings - usually default is EXO Player, but toggle it to MX Player (if installed, if not, you can choose to install the MX app from TP Toolbox) or VLC player. Try the different player(s) and retry the source.

Also consider - depending on what video codec your TV supports, it may not play sources that are encoded with an incompatible format (e.g. DOLBY Vision source if your TV doesn’t support it).

Did you try and see if the video problem exists also with 1080p sources?

If I remember correctly, you can go into the Firestick settings, go to Display and Sounds, and there should be an audio/video diagnostics feature.

Please help us out with this.

Sorry to keep hounding everyone about this but it needs to be addressed.

We have so much content in this forum that there shouldn’t be very many new topics unless it’s pertaining to news or a link you want to share.

Prior to posting a topic please search for your subject and post your question in the topic most closely related. Your new question within that topic will still show up at the top of the topic list as the topic will be refreshed.

If we can’t get this problem solved we will start instructing members to flag duplicate topics for deletion. As of now, our people are constantly merging newly created topics with existing ones and they shouldn’t need to do that.

We would rather you place your question in an existing topic that may be a bit off from the exact term you are looking for than create a new topic.

Thank you all for your help!

ROGOD5150 · 2025-04-03T10:58:45.183Z

I understand that . But i feel its a new topic . Cause i did check the syncler topic . I couldnt find any of what i was going through in this topic . Thats why i started a new one . I really undertsand the need to have less clutter . But ive searched other topics . For other things . Ive come across this issue of not being able to find what I’m looking for . So if i have any other Syncler issues it should go into the Syncler topic ? Or if i have a iptv player issue i should just add it to that particular player category ?

itzme · 2025-04-03T18:40:09.700Z

Well, I’m not a moderator or anything but they did merge your question into the Syncler category…so I think yes…
@Miki could probably answer you correctly tho …

The suggested url Syncler Express provider package links from Troy’s article regarding how to install Syncler 2025 April 16 2025 How To Install & Setup Syncler on Firestick/Android TV (2025) are not downloading on a Formuler device. Nothing in the similar topics is up to date with respect to this issue but they also do not have any viable solutions. Anyone have a way of making the provider package urls download successfully, or some other package urls which do work? Thanks for any advice.

MortViz · 2025-05-03T23:23:43.747Z

Not sure why my query about syncler provider packages urls not working in 2025 was split to this 2024 since I don’t find anything here which rectifies the problem. I did search the database before my original post. Thanks

Because there is no need to make multiple posts about the same thing. Putting your post together with a previous thread about the same thing, brings your post to the front of the listings and more ppl will see it and perhaps respond. Not only that, but others with similar issues are in there and if one catches your attention you can then PM them and see if they have suggestions.
