KimberSetup and troubleshooting
Find the right guide for your TV or computer
KimberPlay plays sources you bring yourself. Choose your device first, then the kind of source you have. No channels or IPTV subscriptions are included.
Which player should I use?
For remote control from the couch, choose the Fire OS or Android TV app. On a computer, choose Windows or Linux for native playback and Plus DVR. Use the browser player when your source permits browser access. Multi-view, Cloud Sync and the phone remote are TV-app features; the platform feature table lists the differences.
