I have recently purchased a Firestick 4k Max to replace my old Firestick as that became very slow. I recommend this as it still has that Amazon OS that you are probably used to.

I would think that a NAS would be easier as I'll be able to add to my collection by connecting to it easier via my PC. At the moment, my Kodi app connects to my media collection via SMB protocol.

I am in the same situation. I have a firestick 4k max with kodi on it streaming my media collection via my aging gaming PC. I'm planning to switch to a NAS as that must be cheaper than having to leave my PC on as I binge watch The Sopranos all day. The firestick has started crashing...

Kodi is now not working and I have gone off Plex. I'm not sure what the problem is. Watched a few films fine but Dumbo has just crashed. TLDR; it seems that Kodi crashes streaming mp4 files (but if these are converted to mkv, it still crashes). [EDIT] I have disabled hardware acceleration on...

No I haven't tried that. I just played the files on other apps fine apart from Kodi. But now Kodi seems to be working.

I have and every file runs fine.

Strangely no. So I have posted an example of a film that failed (Aliens) and a film that didn't fail (Poor Things). Also TV Shows seem to be fine. Maybe it is a duration thing? I have tried converting files to mkv but that didn't work. [EDIT] I just set the minimum and maximum SMB protocol to 3...

I have just uninstalled everything and got 19.4 (I've taken several photos to restore my wife's TV show progress!). The issue still remains unfortunately. The video stops and the sound continues for a bit and then the whole playback fails.

Thank you. I have been looking for a link to Kodi 19.4 but have had no luck yet. Everywhere says to go to the Kodi website which only has the latest version. Is it not possible to downgrade or do I have to remove all of my history and uninstall it?

I got an ethernet adapter for my Fire Stick Max and streaming wouldn't work at all with it connected. It is connected via WiFi but seems to be fine. At the moment, I have installed Plex and got that working. Finally, I can rewatch Aliens! I much prefer Kodi's interface (or maybe I'm just so...

Maybe my setup isn't needed. I have my PC connected to my TV anyway via HDMI but I have the Amazon Fire Stick as I don't like the Netflix or YouTube website (I use SmartTube anyway).

Here is the MediaInfo stuff on a movie that didn't work (Aliens) and one that did (Poor Things). Aliens: General Unique ID : 181414339073471052971203285099265512913 (0x887B217BDD7872DD290DD695C1A5D5D1) Format : Matroska Format...

The latest file that refuses to work is probably too big to send nor I do I think it'll be the most legal of things. It is Aliens Director's Cut 1080p. Is there anything I can run it through to get the video codecs and stuff that it uses?

That is a shame that this Fire Stick won't work at all as I have just gotten used to it.

Does anyone have a recommended alternative if I cannot get it working?

You mean completely overriding the OS with a new bootable drive? That seems complicated.

From what I can find, the COREelec software is incompatible with the Fire Stick 4k Max.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from an older Fire Stick model to a 4k Fire Stick Max. I have installed Kodi and use it to stream my video collection on my PC via SMB protocol. I have found out though that some video files do not stream properly. I have tried upgrading and downgrading the Kodi...

I haven't tried another HDMI cable actually so I will do that. I have noticed that the little blackouts seem to coincide with our newly purchased freezer making a noise! I have tried plugging it into other nearby power outlets but this doesn't solve it. I'll also try leaving the computer...

A friend came round today and his official controller worked fine so I'm buying the bike and getting an official one. Rdr2 runs okay on low settings which I can get used to. I would still appreciate if anyone has any suggestions for the frequent black screen? Turning hardware encoding off...
