I use ExpressVPN on FireStick because it’s fast, stable, and easy to set up.

Integrate Debrid, Trakt, & External Players
Cinema HD supports third-party debrid services. You can also sign in with your Trakt account to sync your watch history. Furthermore, you can replace Cinema HD’s default video player with your preferred player, such as MX Player.
Debrid Services (Real Debrid, All Debrid, Premiumize)
Cinema HD offers free streams, but pairing it with a premium link provider such as Real-Debrid, All-Debrid, or Premiumize improves video quality and reduces buffering.
In this guide, I am demonstrating the Real Debrid setup (I still find it more effective and reliable than others, even though some say otherwise). However, you may also explore All-Debrid or Premiumize.
You can subscribe to Real Debrid on its official website.
Please follow these steps:
1. Click the Cinema HD main menu on the left. Then, scroll down and press the Settings menu under the Tools section.

2. Click Account.

3. Click the Login to Real-Debrid option in the Real-Debrid section (or choose All Debrid or Premiumize if you are using one of them instead).

4. The screen will display simple instructions to link your Real Debrid account with Cinema HD. Open a web browser and visit real-debrid.com/device, sign in to your Real Debrid account, and then enter the code displayed on your screen.

5. Follow the instructions to link your Real Debrid account with Cinema HD. The details are available in the Settings menu of the Real Debrid section.

Trakt Integration
Trakt is a third-party service that tracks what you watch.
Once you have a Trakt account, you can monitor your viewing history across all your devices and keep everything in sync.
You can also sync your watchlist across multiple devices. This is convenient, especially for TV shows, because you can pick up where you left off.
Sign up for a Trakt account on its official website.
Follow these steps to connect Trakt with Cinema HD on FireStick:
1. Go to the Account section in the Cinema HD Settings menu. Then, scroll through the list and click the “Login to Trakt TV” tab under the Trakt menu.

2. Open https://trakt.tv/activate in a web browser. Complete the instructions to connect Trakt with Cinema TV.

3. You can view all the account details for Trakt in the Trakt section. You can log out, customize sync mode, and more in the settings. You can also toggle the Automatic sync Trakt at startup, and the Show my Trakt calendar shows only options.

Steps to Integrate an External Player
You can add an external player to Cinema HD with just a few simple steps. For a demonstration, we will integrate Cinema HD with MX Player.
1. Access the Cinema HD Settings menu and scroll to the General tab.

2. Press the Choose default player button at the top of the menu.

3. A small Choose default player menu will pop up. Scroll through the available options and press MX Player.

4. You will now view MX under the Choose Default player tab.

5. Lastly, access the video content via Cinema HD and press the Play button to stream it via the MX Player.

6. And it is done. The video will start playing in MX Player.

Testing Methodology and Updates
This guide is based on hands-on testing of the latest Cinema HD version (v3.4.3) on FireStick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, FireStick 4K Plus, FireStick Lite, FireStick HD, Android TV, and Google TV.
During testing, the app installed successfully via Downloader and worked with external players and debrid services.
The guide is reviewed and updated whenever an app or Fire OS changes affect installation or usage.

Cinema on fire stick works but it appears amazon is doing some blocking as I get very few links (where as on my phone / android devices I get many more links with no freezing on the same internet connection)
Hi Mike, that’s possible. You can avoid that easily by using a VPN.
color me stupid, but i have “xanax” build when kodi opens up the original kodi screen is no longer there. how doe one install a new apk to kodi from “xanax”? every step by step starts from file manager, but of course it ain’t there!
Hi William, I am not sure whether you want to install a Kodi addon over Xanax build or you want to install an APK. Both are different. You don’t need Kodi to download APKs. Just get the Downloader app as instructed in this guide and follow the subsequent steps. Here are some resources that might help:

Best Addons for Kodi
If you want to install an addon on Kodi over Xanax build, here is the guide on How to install any addon over a build
How do I download a movie, I just get a title and thread box , no way to start the download
Hi Paul, yes, it won’t work for me either. Looks like the download function is currently disabled even though it gives you the option to download.
It looks like an interface issue rather than functionality. The button to start a download is there but blacked out. If you click “down” as before, ignoring that you can’t see an actual button, and then “select”, the download will add to the list and start.
How’s often do they Add on new material from tv like if an show air today I wanted to watch when wouldn’t it come on to cinema so I can’t keep up with the show
Hi Anthony, it is usually done within hours. However, some less popular episodes may take 24-48 hours
Hi i hope i am in the right place to ask this question. My friend is trying to purchase RD, she has a amazon gift card and account. How can she use her gift card or not. The bank denies the purchase. Or can i get her account with her information. Or should she email Real Debrid for this?
Hi Linda, I think your friend will first need to redeem the gift card to add money to Amazon Pay. She can then use the Amazon Pay money to buy RD subscription
Downloaded Cinema. When I try to watch tv show all say no link found. How do I fix this issue? Thanks.
Hi, I just tried. Seems to be working fine. Please try again.
I still cannot watch movies, I have been getting the “server has been died because many people access at the same time” for days and have tried to reinstall numerous times. Any other suggestions??
Hi Jen, it worked fine for me. I just tried. You may want to use it with a VPN. There is a chance your ISP is blocking the streams.
Cinema is not working so well. It is either just buffering all over the place, foreign language captions, ridiculous commercials about BBC some damn socks and you cant get out of it. I thought this would be easier and better than others. Well not so much!!
Hi Debra, you may want to try one of the other apps from our list: https://www.firesticktricks.com/amazon-fire-stick-apps.html
Everything worked fine until a few days ago. No movies show up anymore even after several reinstall attempts. Error message: sometimes server has been died because many people access at the same time, sorry for inconvenience.
Hi Tim, it happened to me too once. I tried using the app with a VPN and it worked.
It is working fine for me. I just checked. Please try again and let me know.
Is your app down? I tried watching a movie and it says sometimes server could be down because too many people are watching.
Hi Patrick, yes it does happen sometimes. I just checked and it is working. Try again and let me know.
Not working
Hi Lisa, uninstall and reinstall the app. Also, try it with a VPN. Your ISP might be blocking the streams
I tried using the Cinema app tonight and all it shows is a black screen and a sad face. Any ideal on what’s going on.?
Hi Byron, you may have run into a temporary issue. It just worked for me alright. Try again.
If your ISP is blocking the app, you will need to use a VPN
