Hello,

 

I am trying to install the firestick client but it does not show on my apps. is there a way to sideload it?

 

Im just starting to evaluate emby as im plannig to move away from Plex, so at this point I dont have a premiere license.

 

thnks!

Hi, did you try installing it from the store?

yes, still no go! 

 

i actually tried from the apps store in the firestick (cannot find the app) and from my computer directly at amazon

Hi.  Where are you?  Are you in a region where the Fire Stick is actually sold?

Hello, I'm actually In Monterrey, México, but I bought this on the USA, I'm really near the border so i get all my IT stuff from the USA. AFAIK i dont need a vpn to download the client, right?

I'm guessing it is a region issue but have you tried asking Amazon?

amazon just told me that the app is not compatible with the firestick 4k !!!!  and that's why it cant be loaded.

is there a way just to sideload the apk directly? if so where can 1 download it?

That is definitely incorrect information.  That support person may have been looking at the old mobile version of our app.

 

Just to be sure, you are installing the app "Emby for Fire TV" correct?

 

But, also, I don't think you can use Amazon devices outside of their sale region as they have very different licensing situations in every country.
