I still can't get Kodi on FireTV to be able to access SMB shares in Windows 10 without missing files, folders, or invalid argument errors half the time and I'd really like to.

By jailbreak it does she mean he actuals jailbreaks it, or just installs Kodi on the thing? Installing Kodi takes ten minutes and isn't worth paying anyone a dime.

Did they remove the ability to manage profiles on the Netflix app? I can't seem to find it anymore.

Any idea why I can't find the VLC for Fire app on my new Firestick when it's available for the old one?

Probably the same kind of hardware profile nonsense that causes Google Play Store to deem certain apps "not available" for certain Android tablets.

Sideload this for now.

Cool, thanks.

I would like a USB port so I can have the option of adding external storage to the Firestick.

Oh neat, I didn't know that could be done.

VLC is also an option, but I prefer Kodi since I've been using that poo poo since the Xbox days and I know my way around it.

I have 2nd gen Fire TV with maybe a whole...5 apps installed, and I keep getting an "low internal storage" message. I've moved everything I could to the SD card save for Prime Video, Netflix, CBS and HBO but I'm still using over 90% of the internal storage. Those apps being the largest make up less than 450MB. Is the OS using up that much space?

Are you using Kodi? If so, might wanna clear the cache on that.

Built in TV options usually aren't implemented very well and are rarely updated. I think you'd be better off with a Fire Stick 4K since they are snappier than previous models and you're only out $40 if you wanna switch to something else later.

I'm afraid I don't know, but I can tell you the official youtube app is coming back soon

Can't you just sideload the android version for Disney+ on fire?

My Echo Dot is connect to my Fire Stick 4K. I used to be able to say “Alexa, pause” and it would pause whatever I’m watching. Now it just says “I’m not sure.” A workaround I found is to just say “Alexa, play” and it’ll pause the show, but it’s an irritating issue. Anyone else run into this?
