VLC for Android and Chrome OS • Re: Trying to install VLC for Android 3.5.4 on a Firestick



I have a 4K Max and I gave up trying to get a side loaded VLC working. Sorry, I can’t recall what the difficulty was now but I believe the Fire TV is designed for it not to work.

Amazon has their own version of VLC and I am guessing it is crippled somewhat because it competes with their streaming services. I want TrueHD and Atmos, and on the 4K Max, the Amazon version downmixes it to output only 2 channels from my local media.

I have since upgraded to a Fire TV Cube, and it has the same problem.
