so either that made it work properly, or just leaving it overnight has allowed it to look and index the available serviio folders all by itself - seems unlikelyĪnyway I think I will stop while I am winnign there. The only change since yesterday was assigning the roku profile to it. vlc is no longer saying empty folder but is displaying and playing music tracks. So then I went back to trying vlc for fire again and it is now working. Strangely i tried the Archos video player on fire tv, that was useless as its video only, and it sees folders but then says empty directory. #SERVIIO FIRE STICK TV#So I am testing what works with Serviio for flac + Mp3Īlso, as a fallback, having serviio for video working on fire tv will be good because if my internet ever goes down, plex sulks and will not work over LAN SO i am not looking for hardware recommendations.īut I don't want to use plex for audio, and I do want to use owned audio that is not available in spotify ( like purchased backing tracks/ play-alongs ) and I use them both with Plex for videos. You misunderstand - I already own both of fire TV, Shield TV boxes. As I mentioned, they do support FLAC, and the Roku Media player does a pretty good job with Serviio. If your primary focus is audio, and not video, you might try one of the lower end Roku players. Since I have used either personally, I can't recommend apps for either of them. But the Shield does support many more codecs, so transcoding is not needed for most files. And I have spotify, but I would like something that can access my locally stored play along and backing tracks that spotify does not have, and play them via the fire TV boxĪnd then maybe also explore what the Nvidia shield TV box can do with Dlna.Ītc98092 wrote:Well, there's quite a price difference between a Fire TV and the Nvidia Shield. #SERVIIO FIRE STICK ANDROID#I can test push anything from my android tablets to fire TV with the easy fire tools app, to see if they work. I am open for suggestions for other music player apps to try on fire TV that can use serviigo dlna service Mx player needs touch screen or virtual mouse. So conclusions so far, vlc for fire is useless, serviigo works but that's more more of a a video app. Hence the try with serviio as that is much better behaved and has all my music already indexed. I could of course do everything in plex on the fire TV but I decided long ago not not let plex servers access my mp3 collections, as plex goes overboard with creating huge amounts of metadata files and can swamp a ssd drive with all of that I will see if I can push the serviigo android app to the fire tV and/or the bubble Pnp app that I own somewhere, while I wait for feedback.Īs I say, I am 99% sure it's not a serviiio bug. Is this a dead end or am I missing a cunning trick or two #SERVIIO FIRE STICK PC#VLC on fire tv cant get to the shared folders directly on my PC either - it sees my PC as SMB but cannot then find anything I suspect its because amazon don't rally like DLNA on their fire TV or that VLA is badfly coded. but everything below that is "no data" or "empty folder" I can get serviio to work with fire tablets using the matching android app, but on th gen 3 Fire TV I try with VLC - it says there is a Serviio DLNA server - good - it offers the expected choices, albums, artists, videos. #SERVIIO FIRE STICK PRO#They say curiosity killed the cat but I wanted to see what if anything my fire TV could do, as I have a serviio pro PC server on my LAN
