Is there any free mouse apps you recommend?

Off the top of my head I’m not sure.

There’s a step by step on boards here https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin//showthread.php?t=2057824379

I found the apk files for it here https://m.apkpure.com/rté-player/air.RTE.OSMF.Minimal

If you have downloader app ... put that in to download the app for your Firestick.

Apks designed for Android TV don't require mouse emulation. RTE player appropriate apk is here.

I can't get firestick 4k remote control to adjust volume. It tried 9 attempts then a further 7,then it said there was problems. It's a Bush tv that I bought in Newry about 4 years ago....is there any way other way of pairing it up tp control volume?

Thanks Jou. You are correct in that it is much easier to navigate than the other player. However it is missing stuff that is on the "mouse" player such as ER, Love/Hate etc. Also no live tv on your app.
Your version is good for RTE programmes e.g. late late

Oh, sorry, wasn't aware of that, not interested in missing features you mentioned, but obviously understand vast majority of watchers would more than likely want them.

I had the same issue with a new JVC TV. Googled the bejaysis out of it and found the IR code for JVC so manually paired it with the code

If anyone knows of a VPN that's working on the firestick correctly for Netflix could you drop me a PM.
I've tried Nord and expressvpn but they are being detected by Netflix.
Thanks

ExpressVPN works for me. It doesn't work if you use one of the four suggested locations which are NY 1, NY2, NJ & DC. If you go further into the app you can select around 30 locations in North America. I use Santa Monica.

Any idea where is the cheapest I can get the Fire Stick? Doesn’t have to be the 4K version. So far cheapest I found the standard one was for £40 on Amazon.co.uk.

I have mine set to the US as broadly speaking they have more streaming options, but perhaps someone else will disagree - that's just how I perceive it based on my interests.

Bought the 4k for 60 delivered on Amazon.

Go 4k for the extra 10 quid tbh.

I'm going to lock this thread as it is no longer a bargain alert. Head over to the various media or android forums for advice on the stick.
