NEW: FireTV app for Channels DVR (experimental)

You need to opt-in via instructions above. I tried sending invite last week but it did not go through.

Iā€™d like to test this out as well :slight_smile:
Fire TV 2nd Gen

Im happy to test. Iā€™ve got a Firestick.

I was able to figure out why fire tv stick v1 was having issues, and am working on an update which will improve video framerate across all fire tv models.

I have a Fire TV v2 and Iā€™d like to test out the app

Cool! Iā€™m definitely interested. I have the latest FireTV Stick (not sure if there has been more than one generation of it)ā€¦Latest firmware.

Forgot to include: I have used the HDHR app, InstaTV, and MrMC. All are seriously lacking.

I would like to test it on Amazon Fire TV 4K + HDHomerun Extend + Samsung 4K HDR 10 TV

The FireTV app is only available to DVR subscribers, as it requires a DVR server to function.

I would like to test it.
Amazon Fire TV

I am subscribed to the DVR service and am using both the tvOS and iPad betas currently.

You should have received an inviteā€¦ if not, you need the follow the instructions above to opt-in to Amazon marketing emails and then ask me again to resend the invitation.

Ok, thanks. I thought I had enabled that. But I guess I didnā€™t hit update after. I am opted in now. So please re-issue the invitation when you have a chance. Thanks again!

Ok, I think I have my Amazon settings correct. Ready for that invite.

Is this ready to test yetā€¦no hurryā€¦just wondering?

New v1.0.26 has been uploaded to Amazon, and should become available in the next hour or so. Improves playback performance on all Fire TV models, and should make app usable on the v1 Fire TV Stick.

Firestick V1

Tried playing both Live and Recorded. Only spinner.
