I have connected the Fire TV to my projector using a HDFury HDMI to VGA converter and the Fire TV outputs a 1080p signal. In theory it can handle 1080p, but the picture shows some artifacts. All other devices I have connected this way (DVB-S receiver, WDTV Live) I have set to output 720p and everything works fine.
Now in the Fire TV I cannot set any other resolution option than "Auto", for everything else I get an error "Unsupported Resolution". Any hints? Any way to force 720p on the Fire TV?
Hi,
I got a lot of lags on my fire tv when I watched the huluplus. Someone told me to adjust the option 'qualitly' to lowest, but I can't find it. and meanwhile I have found it on my samsung smart tv. It works perfectly. Now I have to wire to my smart TV directly.
So how to find the settings on my fire tv?
1. when you get the lag and buffering to huluplus, what would you do? What kind of STB do you have?
2. Why does not hulu add a option for the account so that we adjust the quality for every device, just like Netflix did it.
thanks
So I just recently got an Amazon Fire Stick and wanted to use it for Youtube viewing. Even though I can watch 1080p shows on Amazon Prime and Netflix without issue, every Youtube video I've tried starts out with audio skipping. It always corrects itself after a second or two but I rather it never happens. Anyway else experience this? It's like it's only buffering video first and then audio tries to catch up afterwards.
Also, every so often there is a video where the audio is not sync'd properly. Plays fine on all other devices.
I've noticed the same on my Fire TV Stick - after a while you start to get stuttering too and then picture freezing.
It's been a consistent issue for me on my FireTV Stick. However it's also a regular issue on my EETV box and occasional issue Now TV Box, and Roku Streaming Stick.
However YouTube is the only app on the three platforms (Now TV being a re-branded Roku) with the issue - BBC iPlayer, UKTV Player, ITV Hub*, All 4*, Google Play Movies*, Now TV*, TVPLayer Plus*, Wuaki TV, Freeview connect (e.g. CCTV, Box+, Motors TV, Vintage TV)*, Amazon Instant Video, Vimeo, Flixster, My5, TVPlayer, Tune In all manage to play without stuttering!
* Apps only on EETV/Roku.
Of all those platforms the UI is most responsive on the Fire TV (only since Fire OS 5 - it used to be the worse) but video and audio playback are best on the Roku (i.e. the least audio stuttering or buffering)
Very cool app and I successfully installed from my Galaxy Note5 to my Amazon Fire Stick, but my remote doesn't function and the resolution on my Vizio TV is stretched and way out of proportion. I changed all of the screen settings on my TV remote but nothing changed. Any ideas? Thanks.
Does anyone have any idea why my fire tv 2 Sloane always does 4k in the downloader app, but switches to 1080p on everything else?? Also, even though it switches to 4k in the downloader app I cannot choose a 4k resolution in the settings.
I'm looking for any suggestions or solutions, but please, it is NOT A TV ISSUE. it happens on both my 4k tvs and my fire stick does 4k without issues on both of the TV's.
