Hello everyone! I just unboxed and set up an old fireTV stick 3rd gen and wanted to know id there is anything I could do with it other then streaming? Or any tips/advice while using it

Does anyone know if Downloader is working ? Or an alternative to it? Minesays web page not available when I put in a code.

Thanks in advance.

Released a new app for FireTV Sticks - easily play multiple videos at one time on your screen, think of all the possibilities! 🎉

So ever since all this AI rewriting and reverse engineering stuff started i've been wondering for devices with locked software like fire tv sticks, etc.
Will this enable for more fire sticks to finally have e.g. android tv os running or lineage?
I'm quite inexperienced and after looking around e.g. for my specific stick, i've only found a TWRP unlock up until now...

Woke up this morning and my firetv remote no longer controls the volume on my tv or turns it off. I have tried every piece of advice google has given me and nothing has worked. Im currently trying the “Change TV” option in settings that has been recommended for probably the fifth time. when I change the selected TV back to the correct brand (for me TCL) and it prompts me to turn off the tv and turn it back on, i press the power button, then instead of turning off it asks me if the tv turned off. I select “No”, it sends me back to the last prompt but now with a bit that says “Attempt 2/3” at the bottom. I press the power button, doesn’t turn off, asks if it turned off, i select “No”, and then it just says “TV Updated” and kicks me back to the settings screen, changing absolutely nothing. What the hell do I do I just wanna mute my tv during the damn ads lol

i’ve had a fire stick for a while but have never really been to knowledgeable about it, and have really only used it to watch movies and nfl games. A lot of the apps tbh at came with it originally (bee tv, hdo box, cinema hd v2) are no longer working. if anyone has any advice or can tell me how i can have access to more movies please let me know! im willing to learn lol

Actual viewing is fine, but the home screen panels look awful. Grainy, pixelated.

I have the adaptive setting for HDR in place, I'm using up to 10 but color as per my tv support (Sony Bravia xr x90l)

I have an RCA TV and a Samsung soundbar. Voice command works, but the remote control does not control the TV. I have tried many different IR profiles; any help?

Edit* It worked after reset fire tv remote control

Is anyone else having an issue with shows/movies on the Paramount plus app that are 1080p not streaming in HD on their Amazon firestick? The weird part is that 4K media streams absolutely fine, but when switching back to a show that doesn’t shoot in 4K it’s perpetually fuzzy. For context, these are new shows that are currently airing.

I’ve also checked this on my Roku stick (on a secondary tv) & it’s absolutely fine. So I don’t know if Amazon’s having an issue, & if anyone else is experiencing it. Any tips on how to fix it? I’ve tried force stopping, clearing the cache & relaunching. I’ve also deleted the app, restarted the firestick & downloaded again on startup but still have the same problem.

Any help is appreciated!!

I noticed there is a new version available, but I avoided 3.8.0 and stuck with 3.7.0 after they introduced the toggle proxy feature where folks turned it off and the app wouldn't load, or the title intro would and then just go back to the firestick home screen.

Has this feature been fixed now or is it still stuck in that infinite loop of booting up and crashing back to the home screen?

Thanks in advance folks🙂

I have a sideload app I use for watching movies but it always buffers, is there an alternative that isn't a Nvidia as they are really expensive, I'm assuming it's the memory in the firestick that's causing it?

• Google TV Streamer 4K - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/google-tv-streamer-4k

I would primarily be using the device with a Sony KD-65X7000G TV for the purpose of Netflix/other streaming apps, as well as streaming games using Steam Link. I have no interest in side loading and please do not suggest Onn they are prohibitively expensive and difficult to import.

I have a 4k Plus with the latest OS. I’ve linked Prime with my Movies Anywhere. The only way I’ve found to see my movies via Amazon is a terrible long horizontal list. Is there any way to see them in a grid, and/or with filtering options based on genre or other categories?

At this point, it’s better to download the Apple TV app to browse my digital movie collection.

I was watching SpongeBob on my PlayStation 5 Digital Edition when the marker was on my Insignia Fire TV screen protector (which is on the bottom left corner) but my TV didn’t mess up, so I’m not sure 🤔 if it’s a problem but it’s still there so I’m sure it’s just not a problem (if it was an actual thing) but it’s not my Lenovo Tab One but it’s the same marker on the screen protector. It was. Not that.
