Hello.
Is there a reason why the last version of Plex player on the Amazon Firestick is stuck at 8.31.2. it says last updated 30th March.
9.1.0 is the latest version and none of the previous versions have been released on the app store it seems.
Do the Devs need to push the updates for the amazon app store as it’s maybe broken?
Thank you.
Amazon’s approval process takes longer than Google’s. This results in the Amazon store version lagging the Google store version by several releases. Plex can prod Amazon, but ultimately it is up to Amazon to approve the app and make it available in their app store.
Another thread on the topic: Why is Plex on the Amazon App Store 7 versions behind?
Side load the app. You’ll have to uninstall the Amazon store version first otherwise it won’t let you update. Once you do this then install via side load and then from there on out you’ll be able to update via side load without uninstaling.
Additional info on sideloading:
Check the version in the Amazon app store (link ). Mine shows 8.31.2.31546 (I’m in the US).
Amazon takes longer than Google to approve new app versions. As a result, the version in the Amazon store generally lags the version in the Google store, sometimes by two to three weeks.
If the version in the Amazon store is newer than what is on your FireTV Cube, click the “Deliver” button (using the web interface to the Amazon store). It should push the update to your Cube.

You also might want to grab the Fire TV remote app from Amazon. Why? Because then you can open the Plex Android Release Announcement thread on your phone’s browser and copy the link to the app, and use the keyboard feature on the Fire TV app to easily paste the URL into the address bar on the Downloader app.
I can’t believe it’s taking Amazon that long.
Saw this issue before on Google play and Plex fixed it their side in the end.
I suspect Plex need to do something…
