Using VLC for Fire TV as renderer hold by Amazon Fire TV unable to hold 1080p
Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 3:04 am
Hi,
I try to build a local streaming for video, photo and audio using UMS.
To send the stream to a TV Samsung UE40F6650 I have two ways installed :
1- The smarthub of the TV which sees UMS by the ethernet connections (conf = Samsung-CD.conf).
2- Select a FreeBox Player (using entry selection HDMI1 viewed as FreeboxPlayer.conf) and the 'disk' function of the player which shows UMS server
3- A Amazon Fire TV Basic edition (another entry HDMI3 - ) on which VLC Android is installed.
I have several problems to solve, but here my question is about rendering with the Amazon Fire TV + VLC
It is seen as "Google-android.conf" :
- The video (.mov) 1080p are displayed with constant broken stream 1s visible for 5s loading (capacity of transmission + treatment seems like 1.5Mbit/s)
- The photo jpeg 5472x3648 (Canon EOS70D) cannot be displayed : sometimes displays an error (cannot be displayed on this device) sometime goes back to the icons after searching a while (15s).
This seems to say that Amazon Fire TV is not supported by UMS because there is no Config File available.
Or that VLC for Fire TV does not function.
Can you help me to clarify these points ?
and to tell me how to get the right renderers.conf ?
and tell me how the right renderers configuration are associated with the right players (capabilities). ?
I have not found these informations into the documentation.
Best regards
Trebly
