                @Droz: According to this article, Vidaa is Chromecast compatible so it must be running Android TV under the hood.

                • CVonC on 06/07/2022 - 02:22

                  @thangcuoi: Vidaa isn't Android TV. But you can screen cast to it only.

  • guoytt on 05/07/2022 - 09:28

    doesn't support kodi really well

      Not sure what issue you are having. I was able to sideload Kodi on the 4K Max. It felt smoother than my Vodafone TV which also has 2GB RAM but an older chipset.

      • anilpnair on 05/07/2022 - 13:01

        I'm unable to sideload kayo on 4k max. Are you able to share the details, if its not too much of an ask. Thanks!

          You might want to try the Kodi add-on.

          • anilpnair on 05/07/2022 - 13:25

            @thangcuoi: Thanks, I'll give it a try! I have the Kodi add-on but looking for an easy way to have the app available on the home screen. 😀

        • PainToad on 05/07/2022 - 13:10

          Perhaps saying what isn’t actually working might help others help you more than just saying you’re “unable to”.

          What are you doing? What errors do you get? What APK are you using?

          • anilpnair on 05/07/2022 - 13:26

            @PainToad: I tried to install Kayo via Aptoide but after install it wants to upgrade and it keeps defaulting to Amazon App store instead of Aptoide. So it doesn't let me proceed. Binge worked fine with Aptoide.

              @anilpnair: I would only ever download APKs from APK Mirror or APK Pure as they only allow clean verified apps. APK Pure has a version from last month.

              @anilpnair: It sounds like you were installing an old version. This happened to my Kayo on Fire TV when a new version was released. APKmirror is where I got mine from too. Also you may need to mod the apk to make the icon show for some apps like Kayo.

      • guoytt on 13/07/2022 - 09:22

        Some mkv format cant be played smoothly. My Nvidia doesn't have any similar issue.
        It maybe to do with 64 or 32
        format? or compatibility

    • dojomojo on 05/07/2022 - 11:51

      No issues here, even on a Firestick Lite.

      Kodi works beautifully on my 4K Max. It's a bit choppy on regular Fire TV and Lite sticks though.

      • pinkybrain on 11/07/2022 - 16:51

        can you play 4k 10bit hevc hdr videos on kodi on your 4k Max?

        how well would it stream these file from SMB local share to the 4k Max?
        or would it need to be connected by ethernet?

  • pikachooo on 05/07/2022 - 09:29

    Noob question. Could I plug this into a TV monitor and have the Firestick connect to a BT speaker for audio (the monitor doesnt have AUX)?

    • Korban Dallas on 05/07/2022 - 09:36

      Managed to connect to some Bluetooth ear plugs. Worked fine so shouldn't be an issue. Although PITA to setup.

    • danielh on 05/07/2022 - 11:12

      Yes you can. I also hook it up to my Rokid Air glasses.

    These are great to bring to hotel rooms if they don't have Chromecast etc. If you forget it there no worries.

    • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 10:35

      You still need internet though, right? I'm thinking of ways to stream content to a cruise ship's TV, and I discovered that these devices can access the 'input' selection which is usually absent from those TV remotes.

      • meowsers on 05/07/2022 - 10:37

        Yeah you still need internet. Depending on the brand of TV (Samsung/LG) are the two most common ones, you just go into the admin menu and disable hotel mode. For example I think it's mute + 119 + enter for samsung. This also disables the input restrictions and volume control functions etc.

        Cruise ships are hard because obv internet, unless you have an internet package. These sticks still let you use the web browser to authenticate to hotel/web page / internet paywalls.

      • danielh on 05/07/2022 - 13:12
        +2

        You can also just plug in your USB stick loaded with media into the FireStick (use an OTG adapter for about AU$8 to allow dual power plus one spare USB slot for the stick (or anything else)).

  • tonyamazing on 05/07/2022 - 09:36

    I bought one barely a week ago and have put it on an older 1080p TV. It seems to have an IR blaster, which is great because the TV doesn't have HDMI-CEC, so the power and volume buttons work fine. I have mine powered by the USB from the TV. Boot time is 30 seconds.

  • depecid on 05/07/2022 - 09:36

    Does anyone know whether this will allow Dolby Atmos in Disney+ and Netflix AND can properly handle refresh rates to avoid stuttering?

    I currently watch Netflix and Disney through my Samsung Q70's apps and both wont allow Atmos. I then hooked up my Xbox Series X to my soundbar and I got Atmos, however it forced 60p so it stuttered. I also have an Odroid media box with Kodi on it but can't work out how or if i can get Disney+ on it.

    I was ready to ditch my Odroid media player and buy a Nvidia Shield so it can handle everything, but this seems like a good deal if it works how I want it to.

    • PhilToinby on 06/07/2022 - 07:09

      remember how things just worked when you watched movies on DVD…

  • Korban Dallas on 05/07/2022 - 09:42
    +3

    Note 4k can't display at lower than 60hz will revert to 1080p

    So if you have a cheap 4k tv and want 4k check your refresh rates before buying.

    • depecid on 05/07/2022 - 10:25

      Really? So if I try to stream a 4k movie it will force 60hz and drop frames?

      • poohduck on 05/07/2022 - 18:42

        I don't think hz has anything to do with frame rate does it? Isn't it just the refresh rate of the tv?

    • BargainEnjoyer2022 on 05/07/2022 - 13:07

      Isn't there an option to automatically adjust and match frame rate to the content you're watching?

      • sween64 on 06/07/2022 - 09:08

        Does it work though?

  • mrtee on 05/07/2022 - 09:47

    If my TV has a built-in Chromecast, is it worth getting this? The Chromecast often bugs out, and I find I have to reset it at least once a week.

    • starburstyellow on 05/07/2022 - 09:52

      Can't go wrong at this price.

    • thangcuoi on 05/07/2022 - 09:54

      This can cast using mirror mode or via third-party app such as Allcast. It's not compatible with Chromecast.

      Most official streaming services has a compatible app that will run on this. You can sideload the app if it's not available officially in the Fire TV appstore.

    Fire TV Stick or Google TV?

    • thangcuoi on 05/07/2022 - 09:55

      It depends on how much you want to spend and your usage case. This deal work out to be cheaper than any Google TV deals I have seen.

      • virhlpool on 05/07/2022 - 09:56

        Fair enough. As long as I have access to all those apps which can be accessed by Google TV, I am ok with Fire TV Stick. Is it the case?

        • thangcuoi on 05/07/2022 - 09:59

          Yes, the only app I could not get working are those depending on Android TV Accessibility Service (eg: Button Mapper). All streaming apps that work on Google TV should work on Fire TV.

            @Hiphopopotamus: with screen mirroring, you have to leave the playing device on.

            if you use a 3rd party app, you dont have to.

      • thangcuoi on 05/07/2022 - 13:04

        I found the Android version of the Fire TV app not as good as Google's version for Android TV. You can't paste into the text box.

        On the other hand, I found Alexa works extremely well for dictating search terms into almost every text box. Trying to do a similar search using Google Assistant on Android TV and it just takes me to Google Play and other results.

      A: Yes you can install Kayo on a Firestock or box. Just side load ot from a 3rd party app store like Aptoide. Use Downloader from the Amazon store to browse the net for Aptoide. Install Aptoide, the search in it for Kayo.

        • Ringu on 06/07/2022 - 16:27

          When referring to Android apps, "sideloading" typically means installing an application package in APK format onto an Android device. Such packages are usually downloaded from websites other than the official app store Google Play.
