I have (had?) a fire TV. I switched where it was plugged in, and all of a sudden my TV looks like this when trying to play anything. It's so weird because the apps are fine, but playing anything is out of the question. I tried looking it up, but everything kept going to a Fire Stick, so I'm making this post just to make sure it's literally a goner. Got it in 2022; it's the 4-series.

Is it cooked? It’s been like this for hours, already tried different outlets, using the control to try to force a reset, reset my router, different tv, different HDMI port…

It was working yesterday, it suddenly stopped opening apps, it had a pending update so I did that and it still wasn’t working, then I hit reset from the menus and it hasn’t turned on since.

I got a used Insignia Fire TV without the remote, and it’s been factory reset. Now I’m stuck on the select language screen and I can’t move past it.

I connected the TV to my Wi-Fi using an Ethernet cable so I could use the Fire TV app as a remote, but the app doesn’t detect the TV. I can see the TV listed as a device on my Wi-Fi network, though. So I’m not sure why it is not detected

Is there anything I can do to get past this screen and actually use the TV?

Does anyone know if I can use the cube to connect to more than one device? I have some remote control curtains that use IR and wondering if I can also connect those with my tv? Thanks (:

Just the past few days the YouTube app will only play part of a video before it locks up completely, eventually going to a black screen. I can't backup, pause, play, or do anything except hit the home button to get out of it. I have tried Force stop, clear cache, clear data, then I even uninstalled and reinstalled it. I still have the same issue! Did they come out with a new version that is not working properly?

I am to the point where I'm trying to load an older version but I'm not sure where to go at this point. I was told to get into developer mode and then install the downloader, but now what? How do I find a previous version of YouTube?

Is this my solution or is there something else that is wrong?

PC is connected to my TV with an HDMI cord. But even when im using my PS5 its like my soundbar tries to constantly switch its audio settings on its own and it makes my TV blackout for a few seconds then come back.

When my PC is connected it makes the screen on monitor do the same thing. Any idea why? But even without my sound bar plugged in it still does the same thing. WHY??

I’m wondering if anyone is having the same issue or has found a fix. When downloading apps from downloader they install and work as normal, but I can’t get them to appear in the apps and channels page. I can go into settings > applications and launch them from there though.

Has anybody found a fix for this?

I have a couple of FireTV USB 2.0 hub/100Mbps adapters but I want something with gigabit LAN. I know the USB on the Max is only USB 2.0 but only USB 3.0 adapters have gigabit LAN ports which are capable of 300-380Mbps when connected to a USB 2.0 port. None of these USB 3.0 adapters can power the Firestick through the USB though so they need a USB-OTG adapter too.

The problem is that not all chipsets work with FireTV devices and most adapters don't tell you the chipset. Can anyone suggest a powered USB hub/Gigabit LAN adapter confirmed to work with FireTV and specfically the 2nd gen 4K Max?
