    Does this do all what Chromecast with Google TV does, and will this work with cheap smart TVs like Kogan? TIA

      Can’t cast but can mirror. Works on any TV with hdmi

      • Fuzor on 05/12/2021 - 02:57
        +4

        Thats a big negative as casting allows you to go full screen.

      • pinkybrain on 05/12/2021 - 13:35

        how mirror differs to casting?

        can you cast on apple tv using youtube app on android and iphone/ipad?

        • newbargainer on 05/12/2021 - 19:33
          +3

          Cast means the device will takeover the play over internet and your phone/tab will become free. Mirror means it's displaying what's going on the phone/tab only.

    • Dr Fruit on 04/12/2021 - 18:10

      Yes but imo not nearly as refined and smooth as Chromecast and Apple TV. And yes, should work with just about anything with an HDMI port.

      I installed AirReceiver app and I can cast from Android, iPhone, Macbook, even I can use TV as extended display for Macbook. Kodi also works very well with a lot of addins. With FireTV, can turn on/off TV by voice command through Alexa, Siri. The FireTV remote also works with vol+/- of my TV so I dont need TV remote.

        Can’t find AirReceiver on Apple iOS store

        • Agret on 04/12/2021 - 20:29
          +2

          Correct, you install it on the Fire Stick and then you AirPlay to it from your Apple devices. You can't get it for Apple TV to enable casting from Android unfortunately.

        • ndoan on 04/12/2021 - 20:29

          The Airplay Receiver needs to be installed on FireTV so you must find it on Amazon Store.

      • spasto on 05/12/2021 - 11:24

        Just confirming you’re referring to the USD2.99 app? If so, the last few reviews suggested that the app didn’t work?

    • BigTime on 04/12/2021 - 21:49

      I recently got a 4k Max and actually like it more than my 3rd gen Chromecast. It's much smoother, quicker, doesn't struggle playing 1080p 60fps, can sideload basically anything and with a $1 otg cable can play anything off an external HDD or USB. Only irritating things so far are it's a chore to properly close an app and chatting in a live chat on twitch.

      • billy_bob on 04/12/2021 - 22:56

        Where do you plug in the HDD or USB, I cannot see any ports?

        • Chiang on 04/12/2021 - 23:19

          You would need a hub I believe but you can play from shared folder on a pc using VLC.

        • BigTime on 05/12/2021 - 11:32

          You need an OTG cable. There are tons of step by step guides on youtube. It's really simple.

      • Chiang on 04/12/2021 - 23:21
        +2

        I found it.really responsive and snappy too.

        Huge plus for me was I joined it with two last gen echo plus' I got on clearance and it sounds amazing. Distinct stereo geared around mid ranges for voices and with no lag.

      • PoorFromOzBargains on 05/12/2021 - 00:19

        Which free app do you recommend to play movies off the external hdd? I’ve bought the otg cable so looking forward to playing videos of family events recorded off my camera that’s been saved to my external ssd.

        • BigTime on 05/12/2021 - 11:32

          VLC

      • bashar20 on 05/12/2021 - 07:01

            @Lucille Bluth: How is the performance of apps installed on the USB? I got an OTG cable and the performance is shocking using Sandisk 32GB USB 2.x.on average apps installed on USB is 6 times slower than internal memory.

          I paid $15.99 for this one and it works seamlessly. I’ve connected the Ethernet cable to avoid wifi issues and also have my ssd and my wireless mouse/keyboard receiver connected. There’s still a spare usb slot for a future game controller too once I get around to setting up the retro gaming capability.

          The cheap no name ones with separate cable for each individual USB port from eBay or Ali work fine too I’m told but I wanted a “cleaner” look using this “hub” looking one to get the WAF (wife acceptance factor).

    • Bruceflix on 04/12/2021 - 23:24

      This has refresh rate switching which chromecast does not have so this is far better imho.

        That feature is coming in Android 12. Like everything they do, Google is slow and reactionary. But it should be there in a future firmware update.

    • Agret on 04/12/2021 - 20:31

      You have to sideload the Xbox app to use Gamepass streaming, it's not available in the Amazon app store.

      I bought a 4K max last week and I find it to perform similar to the original 4K stick which I still use in the other room. On paper it is about 20% faster, 2GB of memory (1.5GB on original), WiFi-6 and hardware AV1 codec decoding.

        • bigbadboogieman on 07/12/2021 - 20:14

          Update: I got the OTG Splitter cable. Basically I was able to install the official PSP emulator from https://www.ppsspp.org/ and pair my XB1 controller to the Firestick 4K Max.

          Tweaked the controller to map keys to my preference because PSP =! Xbox and basically was able to run 4 separate games. IMO the experience is better than an actual PSP lolz.

    • Associatedcasval @ Amazon AU on 04/12/2021 - 21:17

      With the Firestick, you will still be stuck with Kodi and ext HDD as it only comes with 8gb internally and a micro USB power/OTG port. But you then have to get an OTG cable for the hdd and Ethernet if you want it hard wired. It can get messy. Sounds like you need some sort of NAS setup to run Plex or similar.

    • Hank233333 on 04/12/2021 - 23:13

      I've got a 10+ year old Samsung LCD TV that I'm using the 4k stick on. It's very responsive and provides better quality streams than chromecast. Switched from Chromecast last year and won't look back. The remote with the 4k stick is super handy and easy to use for the size. (and yes it controls your tv as well, volume, power etc).

  • FrugalNotStingy on 04/12/2021 - 20:44

    Anyone using this with a LG C1? I can’t seem to use the C1 remote or a mouse cursor to click/select things in apps that I sideloaded. Every time I click on something like resizing screen, select account settings etc, the hdmi menu pops up which is annoying.

      • FrugalNotStingy on 05/12/2021 - 14:11
        +1

        It’s not that. I can connect the remote to the firestick but it doesn’t let me to use a cursor to select things. In the apps that I sideloaded like Twitcasting and stuff, you can only use the connected C1 remote to select items using the Arrow and ‘OK’ buttons. If you want to use the cursor and click, it doesn’t do anything and the hdmi menu pops up. It is very annoying because in some apps it is impossible to select items like account settings, resize screen using just the Arrow button. It’s like using only a computer’s tab key hoping if could jump to the option that you want.

        I have the same problem when using a mouse. It is definitely a problem on the C1’s end.

  • Jamie007 on 04/12/2021 - 21:23
