YesPlayer is a video player for Android that supports several different formats, including MP4, FLV, MKV, and more. And while there's no YesPlayer app in the Amazon Fire TV app store, there is a way to install the YesPlayer APK file on Firestick. You'll need to enable apps and install a downloader app to do so.
