Taking forever to load on fire stick

[Daniel30 0]

For some reason when I play something on my pc or phone it loads in less than 2 sec however, when I play something on either one of my fire sticks (on the same wifi) it can take a few minutes to start playing. My server is hosted in OVH cloud using a reverse proxy, and yes all my devices are using 5G wifi.

Server specs:

ubuntu, 2 core, 4gb ram, 500mb bandwidth, caddy https reverse proxy

Hi.  Do you use CloudFlare?  If so, disable it's caching and see if that solves the problem.

not using cloudflare

Any other sort of caching going on?  Exactly when is this delay?

Don't believe so, it is every time I attempt to stream from a fire stick. I have tried to set bitrate to 5mb but didn't make a difference.

Hi, can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and let us know how that compares?

Okay so I installed this, and it definitely fixed long loading times however, I might just be nit-picky but the gui is quite choppy when browsing through movies with the apk version. I can probably deal with this but, are there any other solutions?

We are working on improving this. Thanks for the feedback.
