Hello, I buy Amazon Firestick 4K Max and it works great with Emby and my other apps. But as Emby is my main media app I want to ask if there's some configs that I can use to make that experience better. I see there's many apps for configuration for fireTV but I don't know wchich may work with Emby. For example when I start firetv I see recomendations, movies, series from Amazon Prime Video. It's possible also to see that on main page but for Emby media (like continue watching etc.)?

Regards.

Hi @Luke do You mean remove Emby app from Amazon fire store and install APK from USB?

You can just install over the top. No need to remove anything.

Hi.  We do integrate these types of things with the Google devices but Amazon is a bit more restrictive.  We used to have suggestions for our app but they recently changed how they present these and I'm not sure they show up anymore for us.

OK, thanks. I understand. I see many configuration apps in Amazon store and I think there's something to show Emby media on main screen.
Thanks for help.

Stupid question will overwriting the Amazon Fire Stick Emby with the side loading standard Android app replace or reset the settings of Emby ?

Like history of where all media is played or needs to be resumed at where it was stopped playing at the time ?

I try to install Emby from APK when Emby from appstore is installed but I can't. I get notification that app is not installed.

All of that is stored on your server and is available to all apps.

No, I think it's impossible.

@Luke because Amazon will block that?

That's why Amazon sold it to you so cheap :).

I'd love to have details of how to get embt content in the FireTV search and home page 

That is possible on Google devices but not Amazon ones at this time.
