deebo posted:Yeah still have the problem if I clear amazon video data clear cache reboot and go straight to amazon movies. Tried setting xbmc to software rendering and a bunch of other suggestions that apparently fixed the problem for other people but so far nothing has worked. I can watch the instant video fine on pc so I dont think it should be a network issue?. My guess would be software needs to be updated. If you have a rooted device, can't you get one of the pre-rooted updated versions of the software that you can flash through recovery if you've got that set up too?

My Fire Stick is coming tomorrow. I was originally quoted mid January. Two weeks ago, they updated it to Dec 24. Yesterday they updated it to next Monday. Today I got the notice it has shipped.

Is there any real difference between the Fire Stick and the Fire TV other than price? I already own a FireTV but i'm looking to get either or as a present, I don't have to worry about rootable etc.

Whether that's worth the extra money is up to you. I don't think the Stick has been rooted yet but root isn't that important.

adorai posted:honestly the firetv is so awesome as is, with the default GUI + sideload ability, I have zero desire to root either of mine. I'm probably even going to get a stick for my bedroom (replacing an ATV1 running xbmc). Only thing I actually want to do that requires root is give myself an actual XBMC icon. Llama is good, but a real icon is better!

If there is some kind of blank app that has either the XBMC or Kodi logo that I could then use Llama for, well that would be neat.

So, like, nothing has been accomplished in terms of "streaming" the content.

I've got a Fire TV problem. I bought two already and two sticks and I just bought a Fire TV for my brother for Christmas. If you're on the fence about it, get one, they are a great product. I've finally been able to retire my boxee.

I have a different Fire TV problem, my Fire TV Stick won't stay connected to my wifi. I haven't really had the time to troubleshoot it but it's kind of annoying. It's near the router and I live in a rural area with almost no other wifi networks to cause that sort of interference. Maybe it just doesn't being in close proximity to a few other wifi devices (TV, two consoles). Never had this issue with any other device on my network though. edit: I have an Asus RT N-16 set on WPA2 within about 20-30 feet of my TV setup on ipv4 and using google dns since comcast has been having dns problems in my area (or had I haven't turned it off after half the internet didn't work for a little bit until I changed my dns) MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Dec 12, 2014 |

I've had something similar happen a couple of times - the stick is in the same room as the router and works fine, until it loses connectivity for no reason. Can't rejoin the network (or it says 'limited connectivity'), but restarting the stick has gotten it going again each time so far (waiting overnight did nothing.)

CrashCat posted:A little derail, but these devices are kind of a niche thing anyway: what M8 do you have? I did a quick search since you mentioned it and there seem to be a lot of different models. I believe the standard ~$90 one on amazon (with prime) is a genuine OEM one. Not the ones with stupid brandnames like keedox or diatoec (though those may be fine for all I know) This one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JDCO22I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418418924&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 Gozinbulx fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Dec 12, 2014 |

Got a Fire TV stick recently to give as a gift, have a few questions: 1. XBMC or SPMC? (ease of use is a concern) 2. Can the stick handle SNES/Genesis emulators? 3. Can the normal Fire and/or the stick handle two gamepads for two player games?

And you can run into special issues with SPMC like PleXBMC trying to cache so much of a movie that it uses all of the internal memory until it starts throws warning errors and slows to a crawl. (But, yeah, change your keymap)

Oh sweet, my Stick is being delivered Monday despite the original estimate of January something! I currently have a boxee box streaming local content from my NAS via SMB shares. Will XBMC support this? I don't care about streaming online content at all.

I'd like to copy video files on my fire stick so I can bring it over to a friend's house so I can watch them on their TV. I've sideloaded xbmc but I can't find an easy way of copying files over to the stick. What's the best solution to this problem?

Or sideload ESFileExplorer and use that to get the files from your network. Or maybe play them from your phone?

Stopped by Gamestop yesterday for a BT gamepad and all they had was the Gamestick, which is apparently some failed Android gaming system. They only wanted $16* and being too impatient to wait for something from Amazon I bought it. The Fire TV actually recognizes the GAMESTICK by name, and it seems to function fine with the Fire TV itself. Works fine with GENSoid, but no luck with Snes9x so far. Snes9x only recognizes one button press on the Fire TV remote, and the same goes for the Gamestick; unfortunately this button doesn't bring up the settings menu. Anything I can do to try to fix this? *the gamepad itself can be had for only $9 on their website) . It's as comfortable to hold as a you would imagine a giant NES controller would be.

catch22 posted:Snes9x only recognizes one button press on the Fire TV remote  All of the .emu emulators have detected every keypress of every controller I've thrown at them, including the FTV remote (which I use all of the time in emulators as I've bound fast forward to the FF key on the remote). Is this an older version of Snes9x or something? Because I know a few revisions back you could only edit input settings on a global level, but newer releases allow you to change the input settings on a per device basis.
