IDK about no help gamb. Looks to me like you have gotten answered to every question you posted. If you need more specific help you'd probably get it by starting your own thread and giving details about your situation, what you're expecting, what you're having trouble with, and finally what you have tried already.

Are you rooted first off. If your not then you won't be able to install the play store. Also why do you want the play store? Takes up room and resources.

Okay I have to recant my previous statement. VOD is working but live tv channels are not. Im comparing to a cheap rca tablet and a windows laptop running bluestacks. I have working live tv channels on both. I cannot get any live tv channels on Amazon Fire TV box. I have mirrored my setups and cannot figure out where i'm going wrong. Starting to think the fire tv cannot handle live tv.

- tried, internal, vlc plug in, MX Player and xmtv player.
- Tried two different versions of STB-Emu using 0.5.21 now.
- tried different mac and ip addys just in case.
- VOD works, trying channels that I know work watching on tablet do not work on FireTv Box.

Not sure what to check next. Is Live tv channels working for anyone on their fire tv?

This is probably a very stupid question.

I have everything working properly on my fire tv. All the live channels that are currently being tested, plus the VOD movies, work great.

My question is, when in the list for the tv channels, how do i turn off the feature where it automatically opens up the video player as soon as i highlight the channel? i would like to be able to scroll through the channels and then select the one i want to watch. right now, i have to scroll really quickly, otherwise the player starts playing the channel immediately.

thanks and I will definitely be paying for this service when available.

thats new one on me

Ok, I figured it out. Hopefully this helps someone else.

You need to download the newest STB emulator from here:

wiki.stbemu.com/index.php/Download:Archive

Then under profiles, go to stalker settings and put a check mark beside having to press OK to show preview.

That's the same emu that asft posted a link to in post 25 of this thread.
Is actually a newer one out but cannot download it in N. America, still waiting for a link from somewhere other than play store to get it..

I tried this as well dgr81, but STB crashes after attempting to change or cancel a channel change. Is anyone else having STB crashes when attempting to move from channel-to-channel? I've only been testing for a few hours but notice that STB doesn't like speedy moves or commands.

running: Fire TV Stick

STB 0.5.21
MX Player 1.7.37

 

[Chief31]

Yeah same here was working fine the other day but past couple of days if I scroll threw channel list it will lock up and reboot

 

[freeze]

I loaded STB 0.5.22 and it's a little better - not as many crashes. I'll continue to read and adjust settings until I get it right. Not sure if I can post the file.

 

[Chief31]

When u loaded the stb 0.522 did u have to redue all the settings to get it to work or does it just take over the setting

 

[Chief31]

Where did u get the stb 0.522 at

unfortunately, you have go through all of the settings again.
