  1. This was awesome! The only issue I had was the Vudu link wasn’t for the latest APK. I scrolled down to the latest. Had to click Download a couple times but the Vudu installed and works flawlessly. I can even watch HDX streams on a 2nd Gen Stick!

  2. I keep getting account suspended.

  3. The ad for free VPN is bogus. It’s not free.

  4. Followed the directions and got the app installed but once I tried to open Vudu, it keeps saying that the password does not meet requirements even though I can open vudu just fine on my computer. Help

    • I turned off the TV, removed the firestick, unplugged the power and waited 10 secs. Then connected power, inserted back into HDMI slot and turned on the Tv again. This time it worked.

  5. Should I go back in and turn off Apps from Unknown Source and ADB Debugging after downloading the app? This worked great by the way. Thank you

  6. getting an error that says it “Encountered an error during playback. Please try again”. This happens on every movie I try to watch.

    • It doesn’t play 4K uhd. That’s why you got that error. Try to play hdx movie and it will work. Only from hdx to sd. So if you want to watch movie on Firestick with vudu you can rent or purchase hdx.

  7. Can you explain why the VPN portion is necessary? You mention not getting “caught” Can you just let me know the importance of that step. I just bought the new 4K Firestick and was very disappointed it did not have VUDU access. Thank you.

    • If you watch the kid I app and don’t pay for movies and tv you would normally pay for then yes get a VPN so the people who “police” this sort of piracy won’t catch your up address. To my knowledge if you are using for vudu with an account you already have it’s not necessary but still a just in case sort of thing. Identity theft happens even on firestick

  8. This is not working for me. I downloaded the downloader and put that web address in, but there’s nothing that says “download latest APKs” nor “VUDU for fire tv” There are a lot of them that say “VUDU Movies & TV (Android TV) and a bunch of other ones that have nothing to do with VUDU. Did something change?

  9. Thanks! Works. Just be sure to turn on java in your browser.

  10. I loaded the app just fine and logged into my account with no issue. But I have no options to rent or buy movies. All I can do is watch what I already have in my library. Any idea how to fix this?

  11. The URL is for Android, not Amazon Fire Stick. 🙁

  12. Tried & was told the url could not be found. 🙁

  13. I did step 1 and 2 no problem.
    Now I’m on step 3,my TV just say connecting for 20minutes now.
    Now it say error no connection.
    I’m bummed!

  14. ignore some of the instructions. there is no “download latest APKs” option. the VUDU version that automatically appears is apparently the correct one as the latest version did not work, but going back and installing the one that appeared at the top of the page worked fine. thanks.

  15. This worked great on our fire stick. For those having trouble, make sure the link is spelled correctly. It is an “O” and not a “0” (zero) after the 2. 🙂

  16. After downloading it is very attracted on the screen. I can’t do anything but close it when it is open. Help?

  17. Thanks. I couldn’t log in with my vudu account but I was able to log in with my Walmart account and able to watch my TV and Movies. I have the movies anytime or whatever it’s called that I can watch my vudu movies but not the TV . Now I can watch both on my 4k Amazon Fire stick and I also turned the external download thing off.

  18. No matter what version of the VUDU apk I download and install, 4K movies (UHD) not play on my Fire TV 4K. I can play HDX just fine, but if I try to watch a UHD movie, the 4 dots spin for just a moment and then it goes right back to the movie cover page. I have verified that I have the most current firmware on my TV and Fire TV 4K and have rebooted both several times. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

  19. I have the 4k Fire Stick and have tried to go thru these steps but I do not get the downloads latest apks screen at all. But, I continue to scroll down and see the VUDU app and click on the install button and it doesn’t install due to some error that I can’t remember. Sooooo….. What other steps are there to get VUDU on my 4k Fire stick? I don’t even see the download latest apks option anywhere at all. In which I walked thru the steps with the video above and see nothing of that page at all just to say it again.

  20. I’m new to this but successfully installed and ran “downloader” app. Question no is, how do I enter the url when there is no alpha/numeric interface or keyboard???

  21. Jacklyn Rutkowski

    Crazy question or comment but I need help with typing out the url address. How do you type out the address using a fire stick? So frustrating HELP

  22. Jacklyn Rutkowski

    I need help typing in the URL in the downloader. How do you type using the fire stick. Trying to download VUDU and I can’t get past this point.

  23. I could not get this to download unless I clicked alllow access to photos

  24. This used to work but now I can’t get the cursor to move to sign up sign in etc.

  25. I have it downloaded but I am not given an option to watch, buy, or rent? The only option I am given it to watch the trailer. Can someone revise me as to what I need to do. Thank you

  26. Can’t watch a movie, just the trailer. Any suggestions on what to do??

  27. When I put int he URL to download, it did not give me any options to choose from. IT automatically downloaded VUDU, but it downloaded a .bin file that the Firestick can’t install. I have the Firestick Lite, and i noticed a couple of the steps had to be altered, such as I had to download the Downloader app, then go to developer options and give the app access to download from third parties. I entered the URL as it was shown on the screen. any ideas?

  28. This was so helpful! Thank you

  29. I have been trying to get this downloaded since I got the fire cube…worked like a charm…Thank You

    • We’re glad that it worked out for you!

    • Hi! This method always worked before, but it doesn’t seem to be working on the new firesticks I bought. Every time I try to click the Download Installation File tab, it says: “An unknown error has occurred. Check your URL and connection.” I’m in the US, so I shouldn’t be blocked for that reason. Can you please help me figure this out?

  30. Followed step by step and it didn’t work all I got was an unknown error has occurred. Check your url and connection

  31. When I try to download the file I get, An unknown error has occurred. Check your URL and connection.

  32. 4k now works on vudu on firetv stick. Bo more “unable to play UHD” error messages.

  33. Tells me that it is an old version of Vudu and I need to install the new version. Any idea where to find the new version of the file?
