    VLC on Amazon Fire TV box or stick Subtitles stored where ?


    Hi there

    I like the VLC app on the Amazon Fire TV box or stick --

    When playing from your LAN (NAS etc accessed via Browse) there's a facility to Download subtitles - for quite a few ripped movies / TV series it manages to find the subtitles but I haven't a clue where it stores these - as when I play on another smart TV with PLEX it can't find the subtitles. Same If I use the PLEX app on the Firestick TV box so where does it store the subtitles. Any idea anybody.

    Incidentally using the VLC app on the fire TV is better in cases than using PLEX as even if transcoding required the CPU on the fire TV box stick is more than powerful enough for it to do the transcoding. If PLEX does the transcoding you might see message "Server not powerful enough to transcode for smooth playback" although sometimes playback is fine --depends on the CPU in your NAS .

    Cheers

    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.

    unknown network device

    This happens on my network too. full_ford appears in network devices.

    I believe this could be a smart TV with Amazon Video installed. Amazon Video emulates an Amazon Tablet, Fire TV/Stick apparently.

    VLC on Amazon Fire TV box or stick Subtitles stored where ?

    Normally the subtitles are stored in the same directory as the video file. They have the same name with .srt extension instead of .mkv or whatever.

    That is where most players (VLC, Movies and TV app - even my cable box and TV) look for them.
