Re: Amazon Fire TV and VLC 3.3.4 ....
As I wrote in the render support thread (https://www.universalmediaserver.com/fo ... =5&t=14124), I had at the beginning issues with stucking and freezing because of the WiFi speed. Videos with let's say 480p played smooth, but higher resolutions...
Another issue came up when I updated to the latest version 10.12.0 of UMS. But this was more like video seeking issue. +/- 10 sec. doesn't work anymore. So I downgraded to 10.10.1 as quick fix. Don't know what's the reason for this.
In addition, the config selection by the user agent is very weak in my opinion. When I leave all configs provided by installer where they are, my FireTV Stick will be recognized as Chrome OS.
