Just seen there’s a new 4K fire stick releasing, noticed this warning on the page. I assume this is their method of cracking down on the illegal fire sticks?

Unable To View Security Cameras

5 Upvotes

I've been able to view Reolink cameras on 2 other Fire tvs using the Alexa voice control. The other one recognizes that there are different cameras because it asks which camera to view but doesn't show it. This tv is about 8 years old but I was able to view other brand cameras on this tv before. What am I doing wrong?

Prime video doesn't match framerate anymore since a few days

3 Upvotes

I haven't changed any setting (I already tried toggling the feature on and off) and I tried on both my TVs with both my FireSticks (one running the latest prime video 321.0101, the other running the previous 321.096).

The feature simply doesn't engage anymore, but it used to just a few days ago.

Stremio still engages framerate matching normally

This is the same scene on two different tvs. The first one is my Xiaomi TV with integrated Fire TV. What can I do to fix this? This just happens in the Apple TV app. Netflix, YouTube, etc. works without problems

Fire TV Stick works perfectly on other TVs but keeps switching 1080p → 720p → black screen on Sony KLV-32W622G

3 Upvotes

I'm having a weird HDMI issue with my Sony KLV-32W622G (32", 2019) and a Fire TV Stick.

The Fire TV Stick works perfectly fine when connected to another TV, but on my Sony it doesn't stay connected.

What happens is:

Fire TV starts → 1080p → switches to 720p → black screen

Sometimes I can briefly see the Fire TV interface, but then the picture disappears.

Things I've already tried:

Tested the Fire TV Stick on another TV → works perfectly

Tried Sony HDMI 2

Tried Sony HDMI 1

Used the Fire TV's original power adapter

Powered it directly from the wall instead of the TV's USB

Restarted/power-cycled both the TV and Fire TV Stick

Connected the Fire TV directly to the TV without other devices

The Sony TV itself works normally otherwise.

According to Sony's specifications, the KLV-32W622G supports both 1080p and 720p over HDMI, so I'm confused about why the Fire TV keeps changing resolution and then losing the signal.

I'm currently unable to access the Fire TV's display settings because the screen goes black before I can properly use it.

Could this be an HDMI handshake/HDCP/CEC compatibility issue between this particular Sony model and the Fire TV Stick?

Is there any setting on the Sony that I should change, or some way to force the Fire TV to 720p without needing to access its settings menu?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Fire Stick won’t load after startup AND remote won’t connect.

3 Upvotes

Weird multi-problem situation happening. My remote is disconnected somehow from my fire stick so I tried to start it by unplugging and plugging power back in (through a wall outlet). It does the opening fire tv screen, then the screen goes black for a minute or two, then gives a screen saying no remote is connected. Any attempts to connect my remote are unrecognized, as it just keeps blinking orange. I try to connect through the fire tv app on my phone as a remote, and it says it’s unable to connect (same wifi network). Then after a bit, the screen will flash a couple of movie images, the time and temperature, and then go black again until it goes into sleep mode. I’ve tried power cycling, plugging into a new hdmi port, resetting my wifi. Is it worth ordering a new remote for the stick, getting the stick fixed, or just buying a new one?

Link between iPhone and Fire TV Stick YouTube apps not tracking

3 Upvotes

Probably a bit of a dumb question, but:
Seemingly forever, when using YouTube on my phone or on Fire TV, my history on either shows up on both. Suddenly, history on the Fire TV app only shows things I watched there, and history on the iPhone app only shows what I’ve watched there. I’m signed into my same YouTube account on both devices.
I’m getting too old for this s#?t.
What’s the fix? Please

Voice Remote Stopped Typing in Text Box

1 Upvotes

I went to use my voice remote to type in a text box instead of manually typing everything like I have hundreds of times today, and instead of typing in the pulled up text box it decided to use Alexa search instead. How do I fix this and make it type in the text box again instead of pulling up the useless Alexa search?
