Anyone got a fire Tv stick.I bought 1 and figured out how to side load apps.I have various apps Kodi,Cinemabox etc.All was well,everything worked great.Then when I loaded Cinemabox it went all weird on me.It should load on tv in landscape mode but it changes to portrait then back to landscape which changes the format of the screen and makes all the pictures out of proportion.Has anybody else come across this.
Cheers

Worked a treat mate,once I got it installed.Had a bit of bother at start trying to connect to fire stick,turned out my anti virus was picking on adbfire and stopping it running.Once I figured that out I paused my antivirus till it installed,job done.Thanks again Alan.

I've been looking at getting one of these to make my TV "smart". How do they do on HEVC encoded videos?
I'm torn between this and a chinese android box.

Why would you want to record when you can watch anything you want when you want :confused:

The box berley has posted the link to is 4K compatible, half the price and can take a usb hard drive to download to if needed.

dont buy one with XBMC Fully Loaded bcoz it b slow and you will av to updata it to Current release: Kodi v16.0 “Jarvis”
if you goin to buy one, buy one Fully Loaded or less it Kodi v16.0 “Jarvis” ( bcox all the new
i buy one it was full loaded i had old Kodi ( i cant rember one one but it was no good ) just heads up
if you buy i box or stick i will give any one 100% om my time to help you setup up ect,ect
the easy to do.
i think the Paradox is the best

What difference does that make? Updating is a one time procedure right?

My broadband is slow as ****, I've little interest in streaming. I'm interested in knowing how good the fire stick is at streaming HEVC locally.
My android box isnt HEVC compatible.

i had o old kodi intsall when i buy my box about 1y ago or more any way it was lag on the time on football
so i take there lot out and reinstall a new kodi what the best for the old builds ( 14.2 then 15.2. i think the best just a bit of lag some time and thats off me broadband soome times .
the old kodi runin the old builds
but most the new builds use Kodi v16.0 “Jarvis” but not all
Kodi v16.0 + Paradox awesome :)
try kodi clear cache]

Fantastic bit of hardware, I have 2 of them here.

Dirt cheap, easy to sideload apps, I use a vpn service and does everything I need.

But I do have a mentally fast net connection here, click below link.
