Scoop: Amazon is ditching Android for Fire TVs, smart displays
Amazon has developed a new operating system for Fire TV and Echo Show devices to replace the Android AOSP-based Fire OS.
You're viewing a single thread.
the reason why they're doing this and the reason why it probably won't save the product line are the same: the only reason people were buying Amazon TV devices and smart displays was to side load apps
I was even trying to go one step further by rooting it and just use plain android tv since i only needed it for jellyfin but it didn't work lol.
You could just ... install Jellyfin
Yes I did that before but i wanted to get rid of amazons bloat and login constraint
Yeah, my parents went from Roku to Amazon to have the option of side loading. Good thing jellyfin is all I need.
