Android Required for Fire TV Stick?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am trying to hook my brother in law into the Emby App on his new Fire TV Stick with Alexa voice Remote so he can use Emby to playback some of my content.

 

I don't have a Fire TV Stick and cannot get to his house for several days but he is telling me that the App won't load from the amazon app store because it only works on android devices.

 

Is this correct? How to remedy?

 

I don't have a log because the device is not hooked into my Emby Server yet.

 

TIA

He should be able to find Emby for Fire TV in the Amazon app store.

I sent him this link after I told him to look for it in the FireTV App Store and he reported back that he couldn't get it installed. He should be able to push it from there, correct?

 

We all have our skills and hobbies. Technology is not one of his but I couldn't tell you who was on the field in an NFL game either..

He can't see it in the Amazon app store on the Fire TV Stick?

 

Perhaps @@ebr can assist.

He tried to install it from the amazon app store on his Fire TV Stick and got a notification that it only works on android devices.

 

I then sent him the link from the amazon app store.

 

For all I know he's trying to install it on his iPhone! It is that bad!

Okay, then there should be no problem.  It sounds like he was trying to install from the Google Play store or something.

 

Make sure he is going to the store on the actual Fire TV device.

Yup. I'll probably have to go over there but I ain't going to be the Cable Tech!

Reporting back on this. I had to merely help my BiL get Emby installed on his stick and get him signed in to his account after getting the app installed. All is well. Thanks!
