    Amazon Fire TV USB stick - PLEX media server


    Hi there.

    Does anybody know if the Amazon Fire TV usb stick will allow the PLEX media server to stream movies from your computer to the TV. I was thinking of getting one of these to use in a "Non smart" but USB capable TV.

    I can have PLEX running on the computer so can the Amazon stick stream from this server or can it only stream from Amazon's server.

    It's only about 35 EUR so not a mega investment - but I'd rather not WASTE the money first. If it does work this seems a good way to stream your own movies to a "Non smart" TV / DVD box. I have no problem with the Wifi Internet speed - it recommends 2MB as minimum - I've got way over that.

    (Plex works fine on W10 and is FREE / also works good on Linux BTW).

    Cheers
    jimbo

    Fire TV Stick connected to PC

    I use my computer to watch TV programs on with using an USB TV antenna stick. Can the Amazon Fire TV Stick be use in the same way by connecting it to the motherboard's HDMI, the video card's HDMI or to the monitor's HDMI?

    Thank you,

    David

  3. how to mirror windows 10 tablet to amazon fire tv?

    I am having the same issue with a Windows 10 laptop.

    I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick - and that works without issue, with Windows 10. Mirroring works as expected.

    However the Amazon Fire TV (*not the Stick variety) just doesn't work.

    My observations:

    If the Fire TV is in "Mirroring" mode - Windows 10 can not find the device.

    If "Mirroring" mode is off - Windows 10 will find the device and add it to "Other devices" (the Fire TV Stick gets added to "Projectors"), but will not use the device - even if you switch "Mirroring" on, on the Fire TV.

    Seems odd that it works with one variant of the Fire TV and not the other.

    I've noticed that the Fire TV appears in Device Manager > Software Devices, and has this logged under Events:

    Device SWD\DAFUPnPProvider\uuid:86103c24-ce2c-62f6-ffff-ffffb3dcc165 could not be migrated.
