Plex Arcade wont play any games on Amazon Fire Stick, says must update android version to 6, And firesticks only run on FireOS 5.2.7.7 Wasn’t this advertised to work on Fire TV? was it even checked? Is there different cores you need? or will this just not work as advertised Works well on my brows…

Yeah it was advertised to run on firetv. Total BS. Cancelling my membership.

Would be nice if someone from Plex Labs could reply and tell us if the support for FireTV was a miss, or was there something we need to do differently. I would love to have this, but, Every TV in my house runs on FireTV, so this becomes useless.

Hey guys, not sure if this helps but my firestick is Fire OS 6.2.7.7. I have a Firestick 4K. Perhaps you can force an upgrade? I have found that it still does not work however, as I get a black screen with the music from the game playing in the background. Progress?

Thanks, yes, I checked my 4k stick and getting the same as you, Just a blank screen I’m not getting the music though, am going to fiddle with it some more. But am getting to the point of just scrapping the idea until they get the bugs worked out or come up with something new.

My experience with Live TV/DVR has been that they have not got it working reliably on any platform in over 27 months. So they have already shown a tendency of taking your money, under-delivering and then using the money to develop another product that customers will feel the same way about.

Sorry guys. We missed adding the minimum Android requirement on our documentation. This has been updated. Note: Android devices must be running Android version 6.0 or higher (Fire OS 6.0 for Fire TV devices) and support OpenGL ES v3 or higher. That leaves out the older Fire TV sticks that only…

[image] skolli: I get a black screen with the music If you get music then it’s working but likely the core you are using doesn’t work well with your PMS hardware. You can try using a different core.

Thanks bud that was my next step when at home. It would be nice to compile a list of cores that work good. I will try it later and see what happens.

Well if anyone with the Firestick has any luck then please let me know. I have been testing some cores and when using the Core Manager application I can get games to play fine on the windows machine I have PMS on, but only get sound when streaming to the firestick. I am not sure whether it will be…

So one more tidbit, I don’t have many other platforms to test this on but on a whim I tried through plex on my Samsung note 9 and it works like a charm. It makes me wonder if there is a setting on the firestick that is maybe causing the video to not stream? I am possibly grasping at straws now haha…
