Przemek 70 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 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.
Luke 42077 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Hi, can you try side loading our standard Android app on the same device and let us know how that compares: https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. 1
Przemek 70 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Posted May 10, 2022 Hi @Luke do You mean remove Emby app from Amazon fire store and install APK from USB?

ebr 16169 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 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.
Przemek 70 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Posted May 11, 2022 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.

ng4ever 40 Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 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 ?
Przemek 70 Posted May 15, 2022 Author Posted May 15, 2022 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.

Guest Ajsando902 Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 That’s a shame I’ve got the android version sideloaded the the 4k max but hate that it shows prime recommendations not emby

That’s the only way for high bitrate 4ks and a much better client altogether for any android device ALWAYS SIDELOAD! Google and Amazon are not your friends! They also killed the ethernet direct file path playing for store apps.
