Install Sendo
Download the Windows build, enable Fire TV control over ADB, connect Spotify, and keep Sendo available from the tray for repeatable media actions.
Quick read
Sendo is local-first. There is no cloud setup layer between install and device control.
Windows
adb available in PATH
Fire TV with ADB debugging enabled
Spotify developer credentials if your setup needs them
Requirements
Before first run
Make sure the machine, the TV, and the target playback path are set up before the first action.
What to confirm
The install itself is straightforward. Most first-run failures come from missing ADB, Fire TV debugging not enabled, or selecting the wrong Spotify device.
If those three things are correct, the rest of the setup is usually quick.
Recommended path
- 01Install Sendo and keep
adbavailable inPATH. - 02Enable Fire TV debugging before opening the app.
- 03Authenticate Spotify and explicitly select a target.
