    Which one for stremio?

    • sickllama on 04/04/2024 - 17:40

      I've found the Google Chromecast 4K works well.

      • TEER3X on 04/04/2024 - 17:42

        Thanks I'll look into that vs the 4k max. Not in a rush. I'll wait for a better sale.

        • sickllama on 04/04/2024 - 17:44

          Yeah definitely more powerful the better. I was having some problems with stuttering on the video but turning off the frame rate matching worked a treat for me.

          Stremio is so much easier to use than all the other apps. It's as good as the Netflix one and way better than binge, Paramount etc. I'm just talking app performance anyway, not content of course (which of course varies ;)

          • Roe Jogan on 04/04/2024 - 19:05

            @sickllama: its an all in one. think of any streaming service in one app

              @Roe Jogan: I have used stremio on 4K and 4K max with realdebrid and works like a charm!
              I got two 4K max for $79 in July last year.

              • Ez on 04/04/2024 - 19:46

                @fozzie: Do you stream to the firestick? Or is streamio installed on the firestick? Thanks

                • fozzie on 04/04/2024 - 20:06

                  @Ez: Stremio is installed on Firestick. I used downloader to download stremio. Very easy to do.

          Only problem with firestick is terrible screen mirroring.

          • fozzie on 05/04/2024 - 20:42

        But does the chromecast allow custom apk files to be installed? If not then the fire stick / cube is superior

        hey, do the 90gb files play instantly? mine lag on the Vodaphone tv android box (2gb ram)

    • Maths Debater on 04/04/2024 - 19:39

      The 4K will do just fine. There's no need for the Max unless you have a Wi-Fi 6E router.

    • UltimateAI on 04/04/2024 - 20:20

      All, but recommend the 4k Max as it is snappier.

  • hopper on 04/04/2024 - 17:26

    Got the lite for $19 a year ago. Works great with my work monitor at home. Watch netflix during lunch break.

  • C0nn0r42 on 04/04/2024 - 17:27

    With amazon's crackdown on 3rd party software and side loading I'll be looking elsewhere with my next streaming box

    • Tiggrrrrr on 04/04/2024 - 18:00

      Extra $2 off at checkout on the 4K and 4K Maxx

    • Flyerone on 04/04/2024 - 18:06

      Isn't it just software that changes the main UI? You can still side load stuff like Kodi and use plugins etc.

      • Mortgagetightass on 04/04/2024 - 18:33

        well Foxtel/kayo/binge doesn't work on Kodi for like 6 months now on new devices due to authentication

    • drspy00 on 04/04/2024 - 19:11
      +1

      Agree. I feel quite cheated. I had everything blocked with a firewall, but it still found a way to update and remove My customised UI, so who knows what else they have planned. Its really unfortunate as they have great potential. Still can sideload apps but if that changes it will be nearly useless.

    • UltimateAI on 04/04/2024 - 20:32
      +3

      You are mistaken there is no crackdown on 3rd party software,
      Recent security updates to the Fire TV's operating system broke certain apps that allowed users to bypass the Fire OS home screen and perform advanced tasks using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) capability.
      There is no crack-down on side loading apps.

      Amazon are intending that next year devices ship with their new Vega OS, but no talks of changes to existing devices.

  • Roe Jogan on 04/04/2024 - 19:03

    does stremio work flawlessly on the max? meaning the 80-90gb files do they play instantly?

    • Maths Debater on 04/04/2024 - 19:42

      Yes, but do you own a Wi-Fi 6E router? If not, there's no benefit to buying a Max.

      • Roe Jogan on 04/04/2024 - 19:44

        i do own a 6 not the 6e

        • Maths Debater on 04/04/2024 - 19:44

          Then the 4K will do just fine.

          • Roe Jogan on 04/04/2024 - 19:46

            @Maths Debater: i dont think the wifi signals the penetration is strong enough through my walls, no pun intended
            for example i did a speed test where the router is i get 800mbps but in another room on a 6 wifi receiver i get 350-400mbps

            • Maths Debater on 04/04/2024 - 19:50

              @Roe Jogan: What router do you have? That sounds about right going by the several Mesh routers I have owned in my time. Probably closer to 600 in another room. If it's a standalone router, forget it, those things are garbage if you live in anything larger than a 1-bedroom apartment (again, in my experience).

          • Ez on 04/04/2024 - 19:47

            @Maths Debater: Hi, can you install streamio to the firestick or do you have to cast

            • Roe Jogan on 04/04/2024 - 19:48

              @Ez: i heard it can be side loaded but now reading a bit more looks like chromecast is the better option

            • Maths Debater on 04/04/2024 - 19:48

              @Ez: You can sideload the APK using the Downloader app. I would paste you a link but it'll get hidden by the mods. Google TroyPoint Stremio Firestick. His instructions are the easiest to follow.

    • UltimateAI on 04/04/2024 - 20:34

      That entirely depends on the service and content.
      But Stremio itself performs flawlessly on event the older Firesticks, assuming you have a decent WiFi connection,

        I would be very surprised if that happened, but it's not unlikely. I've had both and sold the Pro. Are they better than the Firestick? Yes. Is it hard to justify the price? Also yes.

      • manpigbeer on 04/04/2024 - 21:40

        i felt this way, bought one a year ago. It isnt a flawless experience. its also old asf at this point technology wise.

        no no no do not get apple tv if you want stremio, its not supported and no work arounds

        • ringooo on 04/04/2024 - 20:47

          I have it working just fine with Infuse on Apple TV 4K.

          Edit: I use RD and Torrentio via Infuse, not Stremio itself.

          • Roe Jogan on 05/04/2024 - 10:31

            @ringooo: but how does that work? do you have to manually search stuff up, do you get subtitles? do yo uget the sections where you can search by streamiing service. or movies/series by streaming service like explore section? if those are missing than i dont see the point

            • ringooo on 05/04/2024 - 12:16

              @Roe Jogan: Fair enough. It’s not got all of the straight-forward simplicity as Stremio.

              I start watching anything on Stremio (via iPhone) and pause/stop the video. Once configured with Infuse, the video shows up immediately in Infuse as a movie/show in the ‘continue watching’ list. Works without issue. But yes, I get DV, Atmos and subtitles just fine.

                • NoBargainNoLife on 06/04/2024 - 09:57

                  @Roe Jogan: Nah not chrome casting. Using iPhone browser to search the title you want to play, it will add that title to the play list on the TV, then you can turn off your phone if you like.

                  Not as convenient as native android but not justifiable to purchase one if someone already got an Apple TV.

      • Maths Debater on 04/04/2024 - 19:54

        To pay for streaming services, sure.

    • UltimateAI on 04/04/2024 - 20:35

      True, but these are low cost, worried I will leave attached to the hotel TV. I take a firestick whenever I travel, just plug in to the HDMI port of the TV and single remote does it all.

    ooh… a lite may be good for my parents. Their TV recently died and they replaced it with a 4k model. The lite may prevent them from accidentally streaming 4k content and eating through their data allowance.

    So this isn't ATL? How often do the LITE variants go on sale?

    • King Tightarse on 04/04/2024 - 21:00

      Seems a bit silly to have a 4K TV and stream at only 1080p. Wouldnt that get a bit blurry?

      • HeDanny on 05/04/2024 - 11:40

        Its not blurry. TVs are magic these days. Tested as low as 360p and still looks shockingly good. MORE than watchabe. Especially when you have to live in data caps.

    • Chiang on 04/04/2024 - 21:38

      The lite is so laggy they will double press buttons. 4k max has been the easiest thing to support my parents with.

      Snappy, voice searching, logical buttons and direct access for common apps.

      • HeDanny on 05/04/2024 - 11:56

        damn. not what I wanted to hear.

        Until now my parents have been perfectly happy with their previous gen fire stick 4k as well. That is why I thought the fire LITE may have been at least a partial solution. They wouldn't get anxiety over trying to learn how to use something new. If it couldn't stream in 4k, they wouldnt get significantly less "bill shock".

        Still, I appreciate the head up mate. Thanks for the warning.

  • alumunum on 04/04/2024 - 21:37

    I got the previous version max and it really made my tv better. The stick turns tv on and off and does the volume via CEC so I don't touch the old ugly remote any more.
    With Easy Fire Tools app on android, got VLC, SteamLink and a few other things working.
    Steamlink works great(Provided you take the steps to reduce your network latency. Wires all the way. Or direct hosting. WIth only downside being xbox controllers home button exiting the Steam Link app. Not all the controllers have that issue. 8bitdo works fine.
    Also tried PPSSPP and it installed… but the framerates were pretty pathetic. Completely unplayable.

    unrelated to the deal but with these firesticks, Netflix app can somehow detect and block expressvpn (firestick app). If i use a normal pc with expressvpn, Netflix would never have any idea about it.
