Hey everyone,
I don't see a way to email so I'm posting here. I have spent a good hour or two trying to figure out what support, if any, there is for the Amazon Fire Stick as a player. For instance, Plex media's Alexa skill allows me to choose the fire stick as the player so when I issue voice commands it will play but I am not happy with the Plex experience on Fire Stick as you must have the app running (it won't auto launch upon play request) and it was balky. Alexa told me several times she couldn't access the Plex skill now for no apparent reason.

I was wondering if JRiver and the House Band skill could work the same way with the Fire Stick but better. I also have an Echo so the music part alone would be worth it if it works as I've read it does. I can try it out with the trial to see but the Fire Stick or even playing videos/music in a graphical interface to my smart TV (as Fire Stick does with Amazon Prime Music) or to a Google Cast enabled AVR would be a huge bonus. Is there anyone here using the Fire Stick to play music and/or videos with House Band? How did you go about setting it up?

As far as I know, there is no compatibility with the Fire Stick.  The House Band developer has a thread on the Third Party Board here.

I installed Gizmo to my Amazon Fire Stick using an app called Apps2Fire.  Process took only 10 minutes at the most, and initial indication is that it works just fine.  However, I haven't fully played with it, so I will check more this week.

Where AND how did you find this please

Simple Google search gives the answer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv&hl=en

You can apparently use that app to install Android apps on the Fire.
