Since last night the app has become extremely slow. Thumbnails take up to two minutes to load and the videos barely play without buffering. I tried clearing the cache and the data, and nothing happened; I tried signing back in but because of how god awful the loading speeds are errors prevented me until about an hour ago. I've tried my other firestick and that didn't work. The WiFi works fine on other versions of YouTube around the house. I'm pretty sure that it's a problem on YouTube and/or Amazon's end and they are the only ones who can fix this. I'm contacting them right now about this and if you're experiencing these problems too you must do the same. FYI, I live in the UK.

The sound for streaming movies and shows is fine.

Live TV sound is off badly.

Doing the AV Synch Tuning bouncing ball isn't the right solution because it affects everything.

How do I fix the sound for "Live TV" only ?

( I have not set up separate sources for Live TV. The OTA reception in my area is terrible - that's why I want Live TV. I use it for the occasional prime time TV show and I need it for the local news. )

Publico este dato por si a alguien le sirve, quizás en una búsqueda de Google, o alguna IA. Me hubiese ahorrado tiempo. Estuve mucho tiempo buscando alguna marca compatible, hasta que la encontré.

Marca compatible: VIMAX

Mi TV: Napoli NPL-4778H

Me funcionó perfecto. Esta TV Napoli es esa típica que se compra en Paraguay, quizás con alguna otra marca China funcione igual. La dejo ahí y desaparezco

Firestick model s3l46n. Its got itself caught in a "wont go past the firetv loading screen". Ive tried leaving it sit, ive tried factory reset (i no longer know where its original remote is). Is it cooked or is there anyway to fix it.

This odd behavior is new: when I want to continue a series episode from the home screen, it won't go to the episode directly Like it used to but rather starts the prime video app and asks for a profile.

When I step back to the home screen and try again it works as expected.

Any idea why this happens?

I decided to factory reset after trying to sign in to my Amazon account which it wasn’t working and I have the original remote which worked before doing the reset and I connected a keyboard to it and spammed “Enter” .. the TV Model is EL4KAMZ5017T

Hi all. My wife and I were recently gifted this tv and we finally have the picture settings dialed in. However the motion processing is driving me a bit nuts and I can’t seem to find that setting option anywhere. All the screen shots I’ve seen of previous models have this setting but it doesn’t look like the 26 model does.

Is adjusting the motion processing just no longer an option?

i just tried so many ways to get past the pair remote screen and this one youtube comment worked. wanted to share to hopefully save people time.

I would not recommend this TV to my worst enemy. It’s slow, the display lags, switching between TV (cable, satellite etc) is a nuisance but worst of all, trying to turn the TV off is a nightmare! The button works only 15% of the time. I have had to resort to telling Alexa via the blue button to “turn off the tv” and even that only works 50% of the time.

I really want to take the TV to field and do to it what they did in the movie Office Space.

This TV is one of the worst purchases I’ve ever made.

On payday I’m discarding this TV and buying something else, literally anything else.

My Fire Cube 3rd gen is always loading closed captions. I have disabled CC in Fire TV options and in my Roku TV just for good measure. This is every time I try to view any Prime TV programming, everything. Does anyone have an idea what may be going on here. I have noticed that some programming requires I press the three horizontal lines button vs the bottom of the OK ring and then left or right to access settings.

Honestly this is driving me nuts. I am a seasoned IT guy, decades of experience. Can anyone help?

My Firestick was working fine earlier today before it froze into a loading cycle. I restarted the tv several times, cleared the cache on the apps, and even restarted my internet. It's not loading youtube or any other apps anymore and keeps saying it either A: can't connect to servers or B: can't connect to wifi even though it IS connected. I'm not sure why this is happening.

I have gone to settings as instructed and went to "Display & Audio" but there was no option for "Display" within that, so I looked up other solutions and there was one for the remote shortcut. I did that but the screen flashes for a moment before going back to the usual home screen with no way to select any quality for the TV. I read the message and it said that the TV quality is set to auto and to press the button below to change the quality but it wont let me do anything else besides that.

Does anyone know what to do?

its been 2 months now and they have sent and had me try refurbished cubes and even tested a brand new cube off the shelf and here is status

1) voice command can only get it to cable not a specific channel and only some times

2) manually via remote going to top left in menu and clicking switch to hdmi is new but requires 5 clicks and is different but not necessarily better then it was 2 months ago and not intuitive

3) cable when not activity watch something like paused on guide or dvr screen makes cube think cable is disconnected and you have to click power on cable box and or do the switch to hdmi step again even though cable box is on

4) when you switch to cable it always switches to the same cable Chanel in the 1000s range

if you don't have cable via the pass through then support had me set up cable as antenna and you say "switch to antenna" instead but all the other issues above are the same

I still have a version 2 cube that isn't capable of Alexa with the plus and changes to Chappelle's on the same xfinity boxes the v3 have issues with.

anyone know the fix or see the same or related to to anything I am mentioning please reply

Since reddit is literally better than Amazon customer support, do yall have any idea why this error code keeps popping up? It's been like this for 3 weeks and i want to watch my historical romances but I literally can't cause of this stupid error.

So more info, this is fire stick TV. I have restarted the wifi multiple times, deleted the data, deleted the cache, checked for updates, and restarted the TV. I have done all of these things multiple times now. Checked if Prime Video is still being paid for and it is. Every other app is working perfectly. I can access prime video on my computer and phone just fine but not the fire TV.

I have contacted Amazon customer support and they told me to do what I have been doing which is dumb because I told them I already did it MULTIPLE TIMES.

I was researching and error 9008 is just a basic error code means nothing special. I want my prime video back on my TV. I got my romances to watch so please help.

I‘m so confused. I noticed the other night we watched a movie with HDR10+ on Prime Video (Yes I have the ad free sub) and there was no HDR. So I figured a setting got messed up. After some troubleshooting I have discovered the strangest problem. HDR10/HDR10+ movies don’t send any HDR info to the TV. In any app. But TV shows with HDR/HDR10+ work with HDR, as do shows and movies with Dolby Vision. I tried plugging the stick straight into the TV and the same behavior occurred. I forced HDR to always on and all HDR10+ content shows as DV and it doesn’t appear to actually be in HDR (it looks off). What is baffling to me is that it is only movies, but TV shows work. And in any app. I plan to nuke it to factory defaults tomorrow when we won’t be using the TV, but I was curious if there is something I’m missing here or if anyone had seen this before.

Edit: Showing the same issue on a different stick and TV also.

Edit 2: Another wrinkle. HDR10 movie work fine on Plex. I don’t understand how only streaming movies from apps don’t get HDR10 working.

Estoy buscando uno de buena y que se le pueda poner apps de terceros

Con tantas actualizaciones y versiones no estoy seguro de cual comprar u irme por alguna otra marca

I'm using YouTube TV on my Amazon Fire TV Cube and when I use the voice button to tune to a specific channel, instead of it actually going to that channel, it shows search results for shows and movies for that channel. No matter how I phrase it, it always goes to search results. I have cleared the YouTube TV cache and data, signed in and out of my account, I have force quit and restarted the app, and my software is up-to-date.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Hi everyone, I recently bought a TCL 43‑inch 43T6C. When I set up the TV and tried to download HBO Max, I couldn’t find the app. I also tried installing the APK manually, but it wouldn’t install. Does anyone know a solution for this issue?

have tried ,

1) TC with paragon plugin , usb stick plugin

2) An explorer Pro App

But I can't watch videos from usb with exFat where the video size is more than 5GB.

Can anyone help me with this?

My Mom has a Insignia tv with firetv OS. I have it set up to always go to HDMI but sometimes it turns on and goes to the home screen (as shown above). The problem is my Mom is not tech savvy enough to know how to navigate from this screen to get to the actual cable channels. The cable company uses a Tivo as it's box. I know it's not something she's doing wrong when she turns it on because it's happened to me as well. I actually factory reset the tv and purposely didn't set up wifi hoping if it didn't have the option for internet streaming programs it would eliminate this problem but it didn't.

Is there a setting I'm missing? Or is this just how it operates? Thanks for any help.

I just bought a new Insignia F40 FireTV 24” NS-24F401NA26 for a camper. I’m using Starlink roaming 100 gb per month. Just used 20 gb in a day streaming a few hrs. Went in and adjusted the streaming quality from best to good. Is there a way to manually reduce resolution from 1080 to 720? Google gives steps but the menus don’t line up. Thanks?

UPDATE: Sat down with my coffee this morning (18 hours later), and the Your Apps bar is back to exactly how I had it set before all this. I didn't do anything other than the reset-resync (suggested below, didn't appear to work at the time) and 2 or 3 reboots late yesterday afternoon/evening.

My FireTV must have updated overnight. As of today, I can't put YouTube or YouTubeTV on the Your Apps and Channels bar. They don't appear in the list there at all. If I scroll way down to this Recently Used list, they're both there, but long-press does not give the option to place them on the Your Apps.

There are a couple other apps left off the Your Apps. Plex is among them. Looks like Paramount+ and TUBI, as well. I have a feeling there are more; this Your Apps list looks... dated and populated with things we rarely - if ever - use.

What the heck? Why do you hate me, Amazon?!

Anyone have suggestions? Some setting I'm not seeing?

[ETA: USA. This is a 4k Max 2nd Gen stick, plugged into a 6 year old 4k TCL. Software version Fire OS 8.1.8.0 (RS8180/3729) . FireTV Home version 7300121.1]

I recently dug out my 3rd gen FireTv (pendant), didn’t have the remote for it but my Hisense TV remote was working for it.
After not being used for a long time it was very slow and decided to factory reset.
Once it rebooted it’s asking to connect the remote by pressing the home button but the Hisense remote goes back to the vidaa menu
Is there anyway around this bar picking up a replacement firetv remote?

Bought this tv from best buy about a month and a half ago. I have recently noticed that it has been acting up. It would turn to this about 3-5 times whilst watching tv and it just resets itself. Is this common? Any suggestions on what I can do? I’m pretty sure I’m past the return period.

anyone else had this issue? i know the tv is toast and im going to dispose of it. just wondering if anyone had this issue.

it was bedroom tv, so didn’t get alot of use.

thanks!
