Are there any custom roms/setup to make a fire tv faster and safer?
Edit: I own a Firestick and a Fire Tv and they are getting slower with the last updates and obviously I don’t want to throw them away
So just to put this out there. I’ve been testing single-board-computers running Android and Linux and streaming multiple IPTV streams at the same time and the Fire TV (I have the 4K Max) beats the Raspberry Pi 4, Odroid N2 + & Intel NUC 7 i5 CPU w/ Intel GPU). I know that they’re cheap as hell but they actually perform better in my specific use case than other Android or Linux platforms. I can stream 5 or 6 1080 IPTV streams simultaneously on the Fire TV, while 3 or 4 is the max on the others.
How many things does 1 person want to stream at once?
I keep several IPTV news streams going at once. 4+ is good for me.
I think people can flash Kodi over the standard Firestick os. On an offhand note, Flirc makes an accessory for the Firestick to allow universal remote control
Edit. I see you mentioned Fire TV. I’m guessing that’s something different than a Firestick
I started using the Projectivy launcher
I have started to use it but I have realized that it is not open source, should I trust it? And, my firestick moves a bit slow in the menus (it is a 2nd gen) is there a way to debloat it?
I don’t trust anything by default. There are settings for hiding apps, that might help
Thanks! I’ll check it out
