I’m trying to listen music unlimited on my fire tv 2, but it is impossible because Amazon Music only authorizes Prime Music. What do I have to do to authorize music unlimited?
Ill like to see a VPN or smart proxy evaluation for Amazon Fire TV. Which ones are the best or what other options (the cheaper the better) one has to see amazon content outside the US.
Video how to setup a VPN on a firestick and/or Fire TV would be useful.
You mentioned using a NAS with Amazon Drive for backups in your post about Amazon adding file sync to cloud drive. Could you elaborate more on your backup setup?
You told me how to use Android keyboard on Fire TV 1 51.1.6.3, does that work on os5? I hate the forced amazon keyboard and refuse to update because of it. Would love to know, because looks like directvnow requires os5.
Elias im going crazy. I bricked my fire stick using the kingo root remover. I bricked my aftv 1 by accedently deleting the op system. I used fastboot and got clockwork mod recovery. Should i use the fastboot to install twrp? I cant install a rom on cw mod because there is no ip address.well a bogus ip 244.xxxx. i cant connect adb again no ip addy.what do i do? Imma be a bald kid if i dont get this fixed. Ripping out hair.
Cant wait for u to change servers errors are getting old
Second question ftv stick stuck on flashing fire stick logo.
My pc still detects it correctly and i can communicate via kingo root. So its not completely dead. Any advice?
Hi Elias How are you? what does it means when i try to sideload an app or apk on all 3 fire tv`s, 2 are fire tv 1gen,and(1 is fire tv 2nd gen,Rooted) and i get this message [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY] using AdB debuging maybe you can comment and advice, is there anything i can do? Thanks.
Hey Elias,
You recently made a post about hiding the root status of your device so as to use apps that block being used on rooted devices. I came across an Xposed Framework module called Root Cloak that appears to achieve the same ends as the Hide My Root app; my question is, does your guide for installing the Xposed Framework (February 17th, 2016) still apply to current AFTV 2 boxes today?
Is getting the new TV Stick worth the upgrade if you have the first Gen? Love Your Vids. keep up the good work.
Hey Elias, hope all is well. Really enjoy your content and appreciate all your work. (The new intro is awesome BTW)
I would like to know how do you have your network setup? Do you have multiple ssids, use different bands, sub-networks, etc.
I am currently renovating my house and looking to install the latest hardware for a more comfortable living and would like to know if you have any smart home devices, how many, and what are they?
I have a netgear nighthawk ac1900 wireless router and hope my network won’t slow down with multiple lifx bulbs, Amazon echos,smart switches etc.
Sorry for the long question, and Thank you for the insight
What happened to Downloader? It is not in app store anymore. Thank you.
Is there any indication if the big new update may fix the old HDMI error on wakeup from standby? You know, the one you either fix with a HDMI switch as a workaround or you have to restart the Fire TV anytime, because the screen just remains blank otherwise.
FTV 1st gen did’t have that problem at all and I regreted to upgrade to 2nd gen so far, because of that.
