Emby not available in Firestick App Store (Fire TV Stick 4K Select)

[customized 1]

Hi there,

I just hooked up a brand new Fire TV Stick 4K Select and Emby isn't listed in the app store.  Is this just temporary?

When I look at the app store on Amazon.com, Emby is listed, but I can't deliver it to the new device.  It's listed as incompatible, it's the first device shown below.  That's a copy/paste from my device list on Amazon.com.

I can't sideload it either, developer options are disabled.

Thanks!

Might be because of the new Vega OS on that device.

I am honestly shocked anyone would even buy their new device. Not only does it have Vega, but it's also inferior to their other devices.

Most users will probably not learn of the limitations until they've already bought it.

Amazon is counting on it

Is Emby going to be coming out with a version to install on the 4K Select?

Amazon is the one behind the curve here.

Should be soon now.  However, I want to be clear that, at this time, these new devices are quite limited so you will likely see much more transcoding necessary.

I still have a Fire TV Box model 2014, the little flat one with a built in RJ45 port. Still rocking Emby on it on a non-smart TV.
