Hello,

I just bought a 4k select Fire TV stick and some of my local network videos are not playing (plex server says it is but on the tv it’s stuck at 0 seconds with no image and sound)

All my videos are H264/AAC 1080p.

When it works plex server transcodes the video (H264 to H264 ???).

My previous (very old) Fire TV played those movies (direct play) with no issue but instability and os freezes.

What can I do please ?

Get a different Firestick.

> Amazon recently announced their new Fire TV Stick 4K Select and will release it on October 15, 2025. This device runs their brand new Vega OS and requires a different client app than traditional Fire OS. Our current Fire TV app is not compatible with this new OS so we’ve been working with Amazon on supporting this platform. The Plex app, with our new UI experience, will be available at launch but does have some limitations and issues we’ve found during testing. For those members of our community…
