Honestly, I'm not sure what that means (Sorry!) - The Fire Stick is connected to a HDMI 2.1 port and to the the wall (for power). The Fire TV Stick 4K and Max version often go on sale for 25$/35$ respectively, and may be a good solution for people who do not wish to spend 200$ on an Nvidia Shield.ĭo you have the FireTV Stick connected directly to your AVR and have the HDMI Audio setting set to pass through in Plex? If so, then it shouldn't transcode the audio (assuming your AVR can decode that audio format).
HDR is not detected and it is played in SDR) when using best Video, Audio and with Subtitles on (For me everything works as soon as I disable subtitles, which sucks) - and many of you recommend the purchase of an Nvidia Shield.Īn hour ago I connected my 2018 Fire TV Stick 4K, and using my 5Ghz Wi-Fi network, so far I streamed 40 uninterrupted minutes of a Remux version of "The Fellowship of the Ring" (I also tested 4 other files, all worked except what I specified in the limitations), with every choice set to the best possible choice.

One of the files I tried playing, Gladiator, did not show Video at all (But worked amazingly on the VLC application, via SMB) - I am willing to check/test anything asked and post any information requested in order to help figure out if this is a good solution for everyone Requires a good 5Ghz connection since as far as I can tell, there are no USB-to-Ethernet adapters for the Fire TV Stick that over 1Gb connection, I get 350Mbps+.
It appears that for me, Audio is being transcoded, but the exact same thing happens on the native TV app for this movie, so I am pretty sure it isn't an issue/limitation with the Fire stick (Will take instructions to test/verify)
