      rte player not working on my hisense tv since this morning . i reinstalled the joujoujou rte apk on the firestick but like earlier the player tries to play a program but comes up with a dialog box that says retry_dialog, test_rery and then two buttons for exit and retry. Anyone got similar experiences or better a remedy ? thanks

      You could also buy in UK and use Fastway's ParcelConnect service to re-route to Irish address https://www.parcelconnect.ie/virtual-address/

      It's generally been reliable except for one god awful experience during the initial lockdown but Amazon just shipped it again

      Some posted a link about an app for firestick that sorts out quite a few annoying things like installing google play etc.

      Cant seem to find it. Anyone has that? Not the troypoint one.

      Do I use my amazon account on it?
      Yes you can and if you have prime, you get the benefits of prime. However US customers seem to get a lot more free via IMDB TV etc. You could set up a new amazon account with a US address solely for this purpose. Couple this with a VPN, your stick can give you a lot more options. However your UK prime account is then not available
      Hi Driver, or anyone who knows...

      If you register your firestick with a UK prime account is it possible to sideload IMDBtv? Or does it recognise the prime account on the stick?

      Just got a second stick and ideally I'd just use our UK prime account this time, but I'm wondering what we'd miss out on

      i couldn' t find it as an app, it seems an inbuilt part of the dashboard for the US hence why I setup the stick with a US account

      Ah cool, thanks - I'll stick with that then

      Makes it ironic that the only thing that doesn't work is amazon prime, and we have to chromecast that :p

      Prime Video works fine as long as you use the app.

      You can also just install the Apps2Fire app on your Android phone, then side load onto the Firestick, over WiFi.

      ... Nice and easy :-)



      Also, for anyone that breaks or loses their remote Control, there's a handy app called Amazon FireTV that allows you to use your android phone, as the remote.

      Thanks,

      G.

      it's also dead useful for typing in passwords or copying long URLs into Firefox etc (although if you have a Firefox account you can also send tabs from your phone or laptop to FF on the FireStick)

      There's no livestream on that version. You can install the other (newer) app using downloader and looking for the RTE apk but you have to use mousetoggle with it which can be a pain.
      both rte apps can coexist

      Thanks.. Do you know which version of the apk? I tried v3.0.4 mentioned on 1st post but when i start it, it says app needs to update to work, and i can't get past that..
